Son bought me a couple of ready meals from Co,op. so tried one today. Very very tasty. Called Coronation Hot Pot. (Betty's Special.) Did a few peas and we both thoroughly enjoyed lunch. Can be cooked from frozen in Micro about 10 mins. Apart from peas perhaps a little bisto gravy would help. cheers Penny

You have to be selective with Co-op meals, as they vary.

Their Beef in Black Bean Sauce, wit fried rice is particularly Good. Their Cumberland Pie is not!

"Tesco' Finest" range is worth a try, as is Sainsbury's "Taste the Difference" range. Marks Gastro Pub range is head and shoulders above all of them!

If you've got time for a bit of pre-planning, find the product on line and read the customer reviews.

Quite agree, just that I had not come across the Coronation one and I enjoyed it. Making note of your others. Agree black bean sauce one very tasty. cheers Penny

Sadly there are no Co-ops down this end of Bucks!

Extravagant I know, but my favourite, not very often, is Waitrose Charlie Bingham fish pie, he also does lots of others, with a bit of veg it will do two meals, price £8, I did say 'extravagant.

Son occasionally pops in with a waitrose one widget. I think they are very good and as we usually have one between us, not too expensive. Sorry you have no Co-Op vannin. cheers Penny

I like sweet and sour chicken with rice,can get it from Iceland,Tesco and the co-op.Its very tasty.

Very similar to duck in plum sauce. very tasty. Sainsbury.

Never, ever, buy fish pie.

It contains all the bits cleared of the processing tables at the end of the shift!

Unidentified fish is like unidentified meat, only fit for pet food!

Another worth a try. CooP swiss rolls. Super special the jam and cream. Just cut one for tea. hubby said to get lots more.

cheers Penny

You get what you pay for, and this is not scraps,

Thanks widget. Not keen on fish myself. cheers Penny

Another one to try, from Tesco, Woodside Farm pork chops.

Tender and tasty, just as pork used to be.

Better even than the local artisan butchers can offer.

Thanks Laurie, worth knowing. Love Pork. cheers Penny

Jusr seen an add from Parsle Box re meals to keep without freezing. looks like several days in a pack. Has anyone ever tried them. I remember trying something similiar a long time ago and was not very impressed. cheers Penny
