Dairylea Lunchables

Advantages: Plenty in the packet
Disadvantages: Cost and not very healthy

...This is a product primarily aimed at children or at least at adults to buy for children. Dairylea Lunchables Chicken Stack Ems are made by Kraft and come in a plastic box which contains 8 small slices of cheese, 8 larger round slices of chicken and 8 wheat crackers. They cost £1.35 in Somerfield and £1.45 in Safeway and the contents weigh 110g, which is roughly 4oz. There is a larger box available which contains a small carton of juice and a chocolate cake. This costs £1.85. The idea is that the consumer makes a sort of "sandwich" or stack with the cheese, chicken and crackers. It all sounds reasonably healthy so far. However, on further inspection, it's easy to see why this should be a rare treat for a child. The description on the back gives an idea as to what is actually in this "lunch". Cooked Cured Chicken Breast...

Smashing Sandwiches With Dairylea

Advantages: A wholesome sandwich filler
Disadvantages: None

...Expensive but useful are the three words that first come into my mind when I think about Kraft Dairylea thick cheese slices. Dairylea thick cheese slices are a good sandwich or roll filler. Fill a sandwich with a layer of fresh salad and then add a tasty thick cheese slice to make a healthy snack. I particularly like to buy a packet if we have a barbecue, if you are filling a large bread bap with a freshly barbecued beefburger and salad it makes a meal in itself. Lets face it Dairylea has a good reputation, high quality products that appeal to all age groups. The Dairylea cheese spread is very tasty, the Dairylea Dunkers are brilliant for both children and adults, Dairylea lunchables are good for a quick snack and if you are calorie counting you are able to get Dairylea Light products. One thing that always strikes me is their...

Planet Earths biggest rip off

Advantages: Handy for packed lunches
Disadvantages: Loads - read the op

...Oh my Lord, I have just been ripped off in the most bizarre fashion possible. Somebody, somewhere must pay for this incredible outrage, what an absolute SKANK!. What am I talking about? Kraft Dairylea Lunchables, that’s what I’m talking about. I was feeling a tad peckish yesterday and went to the shop to purchase myself a snack. I was looking around and the little light blue square plastic pack caught my eye. Dairylea Lunchables Pizza – Pepperoni and cheese variety. I quickly snatched it out of the refrigerator and went to the checkout. “£1.49 please” said the cashier. “E, E, E, Excuse me?” I replied sounding a bit like Gareth Gates’s twin brother. “£1.49 please sir” I tried not to cause a scene and paid her the money seeing as how the shop was...

Dairylea Chicken Blurghgers

Advantages: Practical
Disadvantages: Taste awful and Unhealthy

...I have never been the biggest fan of Dairylea Lunchables. I found the stacking ones a bit dry and have sometimes found the cheese can taste a little processed. However, after a sucessful try of the pizza lunchables, when i saw the Chicken Burgers variety I thought I would give it a try. The packaging was as bright and appealing as usual but on opening the product I was disgusted by what I saw. 2 rock hard and tiny bread rolls 6 slices of cheese 2 very small slabs of what was supposedly chicken burger. I was immediatly repulsed by what i saw but i never judge anything by appearance so i pressed on. Once i had put together the burgers and got in a serious mess with the small fiddly packet of ketchup i examined my lunch which seemed to consist of 2 tiny processed chicken burgers in rock hard tiny bread rolls. Not even enough to...

Kraft Dairylea Cheese spread

Advantages: A creamy white cheese spread
Disadvantages: none

...Whether you are five or fifty five Dairylea cheese spread certainly has appeal. We both love the soft, rich and creamy texture of Dairylea. So often you are looking for the perfect sandwich filling, something for a change and Dairylea fits the bill perfectly. I really enjoy the taste of Primula cheese spread but at around £1.20 for a smallish tube it works out far more expensive than Dairylea., but Primula do make the tastiest cheese and chive spread. up until quite a while ago I often used to purchase Lidl`s cheese spread triangles, I am sure the circular box held 24 thick creamy triangles that used to cost £1.30, Lidl must have decided that they were worth far more and when I last looked at the price they were £1.90! I know all about inflation but that`s taking things a little too far. A 300g tub of Kraft Dairylea cheese spread...

Put the Pitta Back

Advantages: Easy For Kids School Lunch
Disadvantages: See Below

...When it comes to new food products, I have absolutely no willpower. I have to try them. Especially when it comes to novelty type products. I'm really just a kid a heart. So, whenI saw an advert for new Dairylea Lunchables Pitta Pouches, I knew I had to give them a go. I never learn. I'm not particularly keen on any of the other Dairylea Lunchables products. But, there's always a little voice at the back of your mind saying, 'This one might be different'. I didn't deliberately go looking for this product, because I'm not swayed that much by advertising LOL. But, I always have a quick glance in the dairy section of the supermarket if I'm passing it. I'd never seen the Pitta Pouches anywhere and was beginning to think I'd imagined the whole thing. Until yesterday, when I came across them in the Co-op. Once I'd them though...

Dairylea Baked Crisps

Advantages: Not bad, nice cheese.
Disadvantages: Crisps are not very nice alone

...I purchase my Dairylea Dunkers Baked Crisps from my local corner store for 65p but they are available in most supermarkets for around 50p singly or cheaper as part of a multipack. The pot is white with a blue lid which is made from foil. Once the lid is peeled back it reveals an oblong tray with the baked crisps and a smaller tray which contains the half fat cheese for dunking. The crisps have been baked so they are quite healthy but I would not recommend eating these alone as they are quite dry and definitely better served with the cheese. The cheese is made from 51% skimmed milk & 16% cheese the other 33% is whey, butter, milk protein, emulsifying salt, modified starch, phosphate, lactic acid & Vitamin D. There was enough cheese to coat all of the crisps sufficiently. One pack of Dairylea Dunkers provides at least 1...

Dairylea delight

Advantages: tastes good, lots of calcium
Disadvantages: can be hard to get the foil off

...I used to love these when I was little (ok, I'm still little in size, but not in age) and on a random search of the fridge I came across a box, and decided to make sure they still taste as good as they used to. They do. Dairylea triangles come in a circular box with six triangles inside. The box is blue, with Dairylea written in yellow across the top. It also features the cute little cow who is pouring milk onto a cheese triangle. It also claims they are now even creamier. The base of the box has the best before date, nutrition information and contact information. It also says "Dairylea goodness kids love." Each box is 85g. It claims that it is a cheese spread, and it does taste good in sandwiches but also it's good for a nibble on its own and I know my mum often uses them if she is making a pasta sauce. It makes it that bit...

The King of Unhealthy, Disgusting Crap

Advantages: It's slightly edible
Disadvantages: Tastes horrible, costs £1.50

...Oh, how I hate these kids convenience food ?Snax?. Chief among these horribly new and strange products are Darylea. Y?see, they seem to think that if you slap a few bits of cheese, slabs of cold meat and a couple of dried biscuits in an environment polluting plastic container, people will rush out and buy their kids this crap. Oh, and put in some rubbish adverts during kids TV showing children of similar ages having a whale of a time stacking together some processed meat into dried biscuits. Would this work? Of course not. Nobody in their right mind would be tricked by these thieves into actually buying this mank, would they, right? Err, right? Wrong. Darylea Lunchables sold so fast they made the Pizza version, the Hot Dog version and goodness knows what else. Let?s dig deeper? Packaging, Pricing and Contents Very perplexing: A cow...

  An insult to dogs everywhere

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything

...Harrod?s, it is alleged, will sell you an elephant. When theediscerning told that urban myth to a German friend of mine, in said shop, she found the very textbook she had used for learning English in their book section, which included the very same story there in one of the exercises. The reason for this anecdote is that this thought was raised in theediscerning?s mind when trying the Lunchable Hotdog experience ~ would they really flog something as utterly low-class and rubbish as this? The Lunchable concept is for people who are too indolent and ignorant to rustle up a round of sandwiches for their schoolchildren ~ or, even worse, to not be able to teach their children to make their own. And so we get a disposable lunchbox type affair, with ingredients for making a ?hotdog? therein. As a result all the ingredients are...
