Canned Meat

At Least They've Tried!

Advantages: Gluten Free
Disadvantages: Too much Onion

...back whilst shopping in the Asda I noticed that they had started selling there own Gluten Free sausages and that they were a damn sight cheaper than the Marks and Spencer’s ones. Marks' cost £1.99 for a pack of 8 thick sausages where as these at Asda were selling for £1.38. The only problem I faced was that these were Pork and Onion sausages and I wasn't too sure how the little would take to them. Anyway I decided to give them a whirl. So I purchased ...
...sausages come with a 200% Asda brand guarantee - which means that if you don't like them Asda will refund double the price - wish I had spotted that before I opened the bag and put them in the freezer 4 weeks ago! Still I feel a big pat on the back is due to Asda for at least having a go and catering for this side of the market - so many manufacturers just can't be bothered. xxxxx ...

Review of Asda Gluten Free Sausages

The King of Meatballs

Advantages: Fantastic Taste, Ready in 3 mins
Disadvantages: Difficult to find, not looked upon favourably by the wife.

Introduction It was at university that I first became slightly obsessed with the Cambell's Meatball. Maybe it was because it was one of the few things the in hall shop sold, maybe it was because it was one of the few things I could cook, possibly it was because of the great great taste. Days turned to months, months to years and eventually I find myself married to a woman who is a very fine cook and who would not have been seen dead with such a ...
...I was not a man to complain. Yet recently I have become self employed, this means the return of cooking for myself on weekday lunches and Cambell's meatballs in bolognase sauce is back with a vengance. Packaging The meatballs come packaged in a recyclable steel can, not one with a ringpull so a tin opener of some description is required. Using a sharp knife is possible in a pinch but not reccomended as it may blunt the knife. The paper covering ...

Review of Campbells Meatballs in Bolognaise Sauce

Just another 'dog' on the shelf

Advantages: Big and fills you up!
Disadvantages: Nothing overly special compared to any other hot dogs

...I decided to buy the Ye Olde Oak finest hot dogs as these looked the best in terms of size and also the fact that I could see the 'dogs' through the glass jar they were in. Packaging: The glass jar is about a couple of inches bigger than a normal sized tin but looks slimmer (this could be because the jar is longer though!) and has a green label on it around the middle section with the name of the brand at the top and the product name underneath ...
...then has a small number 4 in a little gold circle. Down on the bottom right corner is a little note that says 'no mechanically recovered meat'. The back of the label states ingredients and cooking instructions. As I mentioned you can see the dogs at the top and bottom sections of the jar where the label doesn't cover and from this you can see that the dogs are not too small but are not the stupidly big dogs either. The jar is a net weight of 540g ...

CHICKEN GUILT... thanks to Jamie Oliver

Advantages: Good value, Great Taste
Disadvantages: guilt....where did this chicken come from ?

Asda Roast Chicken The meat counter at our local Asda is easily located by the tasty aroma that drifts down the adjacent aisle and it is here you will find a variety of tasty cooked meats including whole roast chickens for around £3.60. There's plain roast chicken, barbeque chicken, garlic chicken and extra tasty chicken sometimes other varieties too with herbs, stuffing and the like. We tend to go for the plain roast or the extra tasty if ...
...can't be trusted where an Asda cooked chicken is concerned. Yum Opening the seal on the bag releases the full aroma of the roast chicken, you get a decent sized bird for your money and is enough to go around. in our experience they are normally well cooked- moist. and oh so mouth-wateringly tasty. The chicken itself slices up easily enough and I'd say you could serve it up as a roast dinner with the rest of the trimmings, if you can resist ...

Review of Asda Roast Chicken

Variety in a tin

Advantages: easy to use, takes no need to cook
Disadvantages: can be pricy

...review is not really about Princes Corned Beef Hash (which I have never heard of). It is simply about Princes Corned Beef. I think they are the exact same thing and it has just had a name change but I am really not that sure. The term 'Corned Beef' derives from the 'Corns' of salt traditionally used in the curing process. Today is our shopping day at Asda and for some odd reason I got a notion for Corned Beef, which I hadn't eaten in years but ...
...So instead I settled on Princes Corned Beef which was £1.69 for a three-pack of 200g tins. This works out as 57p per tin so that wasn't that bad. And now on to the details: The Packaging Outer Carton: The outer carton is red and dark blue on two sides with the red part stating that this is a "Bigger value 3 pack" in yellow and white writing and in smaller white writing that it contains "3 x 2009 (estimated) cans). The blue part has the Princes ...
