Prawn Cocktail?

Advantages: None it's awful
Disadvantages: Very watery and tastes awful

I have been trying to be healthy , so when I went to Tesco's to buy myself some lunch I bought myself a low fat Prawn salad .I love prawns and thought this would make a nice healthy lunch. It is only 2 1/2 weightwatchers points. It claims to have 50% less fat than Tesco's standard prawn cocktail. Great I thought , until I tasted it, as well as having 50% less fat, it also has 50% less taste. I wish I hadn't bothered buying a healthy lunch, as I have ...
...take away the taste and fill me up as I couldn't finish the prawn cocktail . Should have just gone for the standard prawn cocktail in the first place. I am assuming that that the standard one is and improvement on the low fat version. So rather than me just ranting about awful it was I will try and give you a few more facts as to why I disliked it. Packaging: The prawn cocktail comes in a small plastic tub with a plastic lid. You have to stap ...

Review of Tesco healthy Living Prawn Cocktail

Very filling and reasonably priced

Advantages: Good price, fresh taste
Disadvantages: Too much iceberg lettuce and not enough Marie Rose

Having a love of prawns I have bought this salad many a time and not once been disappointed. It comes in a generously sized plastic tub with its own little fork. It consists of prawns in Marie Rose sauce, little pasta shells, whole cherry tomatoes, iceberg lettuce and cucumber. The sauce is lovely, creamy and consistent - with a topping of paprika which tastes as well as looks nice. The prawns taste fresh and are nicely mixed with the sauce. There ...
...just the size for the salad and give a nice portion of carbs. I find the iceberg lettuce a little boring as there is quite a lot (Too much for my liking) but i was never one for lots of lettuce anyway. It would be better shredded rather than in pieces. The cherry tomatoes top the salad off nicely. The only downside i think is that there should be a little more sauce, by the time you have eaten the prawns the rest of the salad is a little boring compared ...

Review of Asda Prawn Layered Salad

Doing a Deal with a Mile High Noodle

Advantages: Lovely textures, good portion size, low calories and fat
Disadvantages: Where's the lime?

...generally means hunting down the Boots at the airport and buying a meal-deal. There's an art to 'Maxing the Meal Deal' and I consider myself an expert. You can of course get a Meal Deal at ANY Boots - you don't have to be at an airport - but it just so happens that's where most of my 'deals' are done. And for the past couple of months my number one choice is the 'Delicious' King Prawn Noodle Salad. I usually combine it with an Innocent smoothie ...
...the plane with my little Boots bag, the seatbelt sign's gone off and I'm ready to eat. I'll dispatch the Snack-a-Jacks first, slurp a bit of the smoothie and then it's time for the main event - my noodle salad. The salad comes in a clear plastic bowl with the lid held down by a thick sticky label. If I can find the perforations it's easy to open it. If I can't…..well, then it's not. But I'm in and ready to start. I take the little plastic fork and ...

Review of Boots Delicious King Prawn Noodle Salad

I used to like cheese

Advantages: Dreadful taste
Disadvantages: Not expensive

Sainsbury's Cheese Coleslaw * I have to admit that Sainsbury's is not the main supermarket from which I buy my groceries, yet there is a convenience Sainsbury store that is very close to where I live and it opens from 7.00 a.m. to 11.00 p.m. and so I do buy things from there frequently. In general, the retailer is not expensive, but at the same time, they don't have good offers. As for their products, I tried, for instance, soft cheese and cottage ...
...today to the near by Sainsbury's and I saw different kinds of coleslaw and I thought I would try one. They had the normal coleslaw, the creamy one, and the one with cheese, so I chose the latter because I like cheese. It is sold in a clear, sealed plastic tub which contains 250g and is sold for £0.61 so it's not expensive (I think the cheese coleslaws in Tesco and Aldi, for instance, are almost for the same price like this one, but with different ...

Review of Sainsbury's Coleslaw with Cheese

No! I won't have fries with that!

Advantages: Avoiding lardy alternatives
Disadvantages: Pricey and small!

I am usually very scared of the ways McDonalds can just ruin a diet and the healthy workings of your heart and so when my partner had a craving for a burger the other week I found myself at the till trying to find a safe option from the menus above. Their ‘new tastes’ menu contained a pasta option I hadn’t tried before. I’d heard rumours that Mcdonald’s were doing a few menu revamps but had also heard horror stories about warm feta salads from my ...
...tried the penne pasta and Italian style chicken in a red pesto dressing. For those of you on slimming world it’s 13.5 sins worth on green days which in comparison to a Big Mac (24.5) is slightly less. For the rest of you on various diets it has less than 300 calories and less than 5% fat. I’ve tried the grab ‘n’ go salads from supermarkets and petrol stations. This is no different to these in flavour except for the impressive size chicken pieces. ...
