Heinz Macaroni Cheese

I've always been a sucker for Buy One Get One Free promotions. It was while shopping at my local Tescos that I was enticed in to purchasing two 400 gram cans of Heinz Macaroni Cheese, lured by the prospect of getting something for nothing. I've never bought tinned macaroni cheese before, always believing that most tinned products are inferior to their fresh counterparts.

They convinced me with the message on the can, which reads, "We've worked hard to improve our Macaroni ... more

Other examples of nursery food include Shepherd’s pie (the milk in the mashed potatoes) and the like. In short it is comfort food.

For a 400g tin you will expect to pay around £0.89p. Certainly not cheap, but hey, I'm getting a review out of it - and a full belly! And it' s not one of those things I buy on a regular basis. (My Gran makes a gorgeous Macaroni Cheese!). PACKAGING ~~~~~~~~~ The tin is unmistakeable. It comes in a bright yellow tin with the famous Heinz name on the front with Macaroni Cheese in a green background. It says on the front of the tin that it is 'now ... more

Gorgeous. Absolute heaven. So damn cheesy! Its recipe is just perfection. Its so creamy, and has the perfect amount of cheese. Its consistency is lovely, and is lovely and smoothe. Its something that can be consumed hot or cold, which is great when you have sore tonsils and want to eat something that will cool them down. But its lovely warm too, which is just a great bonus. The smell of it is great too, demonstrating its lovely taste and ingredients. There's something awfully satisfying about the simplicity of it too: its just simply nice, and cheesy. That's it. That's all that's in it. Cheese ... more
