Yeah I know, I know. Ready meals are evil, especially when it's so easy to whip something up, blah blah blah.


Look, I love to cook, and wish I always had the time, but right now, I don't. Now a lot of ready meals are genuinely rotten, and I'd rather avoid.


I quite like the Tescos Finest Cottage Pie (with lots of added pepper).


Anyone got any favourites to recommend?


StraferJack need not reply ;-)

I forget what the range is called but Tesco do ones that have real looking and tasting food in them. I have tried two and they are definitely edible (which is all you can hope from a microwave meal). Think wagamama or similar in a plastic tub:

Its a fine topic!


Btw, Pickled onion (but not walkers, ugh). Sadly no-one else seems to do them anymore :(

Heh, no it is genuine, as I am finding that I often have no time in the evenings at the mo.


That said, those 2, and a couple of other forum food snobs did come to mind >:D<


Those Innocence things ae insanely expensive, as are the smoothies, which is a shame, as I have developed a bit of an addiction to the Kiwi & Lime one! Mmm, green drink.

I can reveal that Carnelli is quite partial to a family size M&S cottage pie washed down by a bottle of red wine when left to his own devices.


I, on the hand, rather like M&S's spinach and ricotta cannelloni.


Ah, if only there was an M&S nearby.....

550g is a strange pack size - presumably to serve two - standard ready meal for one is around 350-400g. Therefore not as unhealthy as those stats suggest.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
