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.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
