  • Readymeals

    I dont get it, never have . I can remember the one and only microwave readymeal ive ever had in my 24yrs of life, it was a lidl lasagne cooked by a friend and it tasted of tinfoil. Needless to say ive never had another.

    So im wandering what my fellow 'grapevine' users worst readymeal experiance is?

    Your friend should have taken the tinfoil off first Linzy..........

      They're not all dire - some are just about acceptable in an emergency - like when you're having a new kitchen fitted or the gas is off

        Just saw something on the box about readymeals and how they've developed since the heady days of Vesta curries. Them were the days when it felt quite sophisticated to have a boil in the bag meal!
        Then the freezer came along and we could actually keep meals - ready prepared at home. Next, of course the microwave and really fast food on the table in minutes. Where to next?
        The presenter opened lots of ready meals, slopped them out onto a plate and decided that most of them smelt of vomit. Most of them looked like it too.
        My worst experience of ready meals - when you go out for a meal, pay full whack, and end up with something that is so obviously a ready meal that I could have heated up at home for a fraction of the price. Vegetarian lasagne is the worst culprit

            Yups, it's the difference between having just food and having something appetising and enjoyable.

              Oh gosh, Vesta curries. You do know how to bring back the memories, VC

                My OH used to eat a ready meal every day for lunch until he had a shepherd's pie and spent the next 5 days in hospital with food poisoning

                To be fair, I think that the seal had gone on the packaging but, needless to say, he doesn't eat ready meals any more.

                      I make my own ready meals using my slow cookers to 'batch cook' each weekend. Cheaper, tastier and I know exactly what is in them

                      Whenever I've had a bought ready meal I'm back in the fridge looking for something else to eat

                          The only ready meals I have eaten were when I was in the army. To give you an idea the tinned cheese was known as 'cheese possessed' and usually ended up down the tank gun barrel.

                              All the ones I've sufferered have been inedible! When we had our new kitchen last year and had no oven etc for a few weeks I made sure I filled the freezer with our homemade ready meals so that we could eat decent food throughout - much nicer and I knew exactly what was in them with no hidden ingredients that they put in for the mass produced stuff which I'm sure has a huge impact on poor diet.

                              Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                              Which one are you and is it how you want to be?
