Aunt Bessies Homestyle Mashed Potato

Aunt Bessie's Home Style Mash Potato Now I have seen this frozen mash potato before in various supermarkets and literally scoffed at the idea of it. I mean mash potato is so easy to make from scratch and I really do love my own made stuff that I found the idea utterly ridiculous. However being a working Mum I find it hard to fit in working, playing along with the daily chores of cooking and cleaning. So for this reason I drew my neck back in and decided to give this Aunt Bessie Frozen mash a try. Of course the fact that it is currently being sold on a special offer in Morrison’s for a mere £1 ... more

I've been brought up to always try and cook everything yourself, but like most people run short on time to do all the cooking I would like. My friend and I happened to talk about these new potatos from good old Aunt Bessie and as we both chatted through our love of her Yorkshires we contemplated trying them out. As I reached into the freezer section at Asda I realised Aunt Bessie was clearly being affected by the credit crunch as the pack of these was priced at what I feel a pretty hefty £2.00. I weighed it up as I ummed and aaahed over whether to complete my purchase or go and pick up some ... more

Peel the potato, put in water, boil, then mash. Simple. So when my daughter asked me to buy her some mash potato I could not believe what I was hearing! She was paying 99p for a pot of potato. This was too much for one but not enough for 2. So when out shopping one day we saw that Aunt Bessie does mash potato and although this was more expensive you could use as little or as much as you wanted at a time. Aunt Bessies Mash potato comes in 900g bags and at the moment costing around £2.00. Inside are 5cm circular or puck size pieces 1cm thick.I am not sure how many are in there but it is at least ... more

Okay don't feint I know it has been a long time, since I graced any other category than that of the Ciao Café'. Some members on here will be proud. No Kelly is not experimenting with sex this time, she is experimenting with writing a different type of review that has so far eluded her this year. It has been so long since I have written a food review that I have forgotten quite how to start…so lets begin with a brief history in to my wariness of microwaveable products My Microwave History I was never a microwave fan until I joined this site, but during the soaring heights of laziness to cook ... more

I recently discovered Aunt Bessie's Homestyle Mash. It's in a 650g bag in the freeezer compartment. I bought mine from Tesco for £1.49. On the front of the bag is a picture of a little lady who I think is related to Mrs Goggins from Postman Pat. She looks like a jolly old soul, with hair in a bun, glasses and a pinny. Aunt Bessie does a lot of stuff, from Yorkshire Puddings to pies and I've tried a few but this is the first time I've eaten her mash postato. I bought it because I was in a hurry for something for tea, got back late from work, I bought a couple of pork chops and thought it'd be ... more
