Real meat in a treat

Advantages: Soft enough to divide without being messy
Disadvantages: There aren't a lot in the pack

...a game which he quite enjoys! Anyway we both enrolled at a local training class and I was advised that I would need to take along an ample supply of 'treats' as they used reward based training in the class. The first problem was finding something tiny enough for little Ellery when he was just three months old and still hadn't got all of his teeth. The second issue was that I didn't want to make him fat - initially Ellery sorted out that issue for me, he was car sick and very kindly brought back all of the treats on the journey home but as he got older he grew out of it! Nature's Menu Reat Meat Treats In my quest to find some suitable reward for use in training I was scanning the dog treats in my local vets and I spotted a pack of Nature's Menue Real Meat Treats. I had come across the brand before as I have used their cat food...

Review of Natures Menu Real Meat Treats

Quite literally 'Meat free'

Advantages: Substantial, healthy, low fat and calorie meal
Disadvantages: Slightly sickly; quite sloppy; bland veg;

...Let me first clarify that I am by no standards a vegetarian; I love white meat such as chicken and Turkey, and the occassional sausage and bacon. I like spaghetti bolegnaise or shepherds pie ready meals but I actually can't stand minced meat; it's grisly and chewy - even the extra lean stuff. I find this a shame becasue I love to make homemade dinners. I was browsing the rice aisle during our shop at Asda when I spotted 'Asda Meat free savoury mince' in a packet. Now, I wouldn't write a review for the sake of it. I'm writing this review because you, like I did, may be slightly wary of a packeted meat free mince product that costs just 58p. Moreover, the front design is er, less than appealing to your average buyer. Basically, the packet is 120g with a green bordered edge. The front is predominately taken up by a large picture...

Review of Asda Meat Free Mince

For meat lovers only Meat Feast by sottovoce82">

Advantages: Full of flavor
Disadvantages: I didn't like the beef pieces

...Asda Deep Pan 10" Pizza - Meat Feast (440g) This is the first time that I buy a meat feast pizza, because I'm not a big meat fan really, but I wanted to see if I can tolerate the taste. It can be bought from Asda for £2.38 or sometimes as a part of an offer (any 3 for £5.00) and you can choose from different other deep pan pizzas. However, you should be careful when you buy it, for it remains in the refrigerator for no more than a week, depending on how fresh it is when you buy it, or you should make sure you have enough space in the freezer if you want to freeze it for a month at most. The pizza comes not only in a plastic cover you see in the picture, but also in a brown recyclable cardboard box, as you can see in the picture. It should be cooked in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or 12-14 minutes if cooked from frozen...

Review of Asda Deep Pan 10" Pizza Meat Feast

Heinz Meat Free Ravioli - Bring back the meat!!

Advantages: cheap, quick to make
Disadvantages: Bland taste, not very nice

...I'm a big fan of Heinz products in general because I feel they produce high, good quality products and am a fan of the meat ravioli for a quick snack or light dinner so when I saw the meat free variety or cheese and tomato flavour I decided to give them a try. Heinz was founded in 1869 my a German man by the name of Henry John Heinz in Pennyslvania, USA. Their 57 varities is kind of their trade mark and actually came from the fact that the numbers 5 and 7 held special meaning for him and his wife, not the amount of products they produced because at that time already they were producing over 60 different products. The Heinz cheese and tomato ravioli cost me £0.80 for one tin so the same price as the meat variety but a little bit more expensive than say just the spaghetti. Unfortunately I was let down by the taste. The meat ones...

Review of Heinz Meat Free Ravioli

Meat Loaf - Dead Ringer

Advantages: Each song is a great one.
Disadvantages: Not enough tracks?

...My first review for over a month comes in the form of a fat guy, singing like a man gone wild, on a mean bike. Oh, did I mention he's also quite the comedian. Meat Loaf (aka Michael Lee Aday) is one of those familiar names that almost everybody recognises, even if they don't know why. The guy has done several thousand films (well, alright, about 43 (in 18 of them, he played himself)), several million famous songs (again, I'm lying, although this figure can't be far off! ;-D) and a load of great albums (wow, I finally told the truth!). This album is almost as definitive as the Bat Out of Hell album, as far as Meat Loaf albums are concerned. THE TRACKS 1 - Peel Out - This song starts off with the infamous Harley engine, revving in the background and quickly steps into a great guitar riff. Powerful drums are all present...

Review of Dead Ringer - Meat Loaf

The Very Best of Meat Loaf

Advantages: 2 discs with all your favourites
Disadvantages: One of many 'greatest hits' albums by Meat Loaf

...I absolutely love this album. When I was younger my older cousin played Meat Loaf all the time and I loved listening to it. When I was older I heard Bat out of Hell on the radio and was reminded of its brilliance. As soon as I heard it, I went on the hunt for a Meat Loaf greatest hits album in the hope that after hearing it I would still enjoy it the way I did when I was younger. I came across the Very Best of Meat Loaf and bought it as it seemed to be of good value for money with having 2 discs and more of the classic Meat Loaf songs than any other Meat Loaf album, songs including Bat out of Hell, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through, Modern Girl, Objects in the Rear View Mirror, I'd Do Anything for Love. I would recommend this album for any Meat Loaf fan but if you only intend buying one Meat...

Review of Very Best Of Meat Loaf, The - Meat Loaf

Meat Loaf's Greatest Hits

Advantages: Classic, Timeless Ballads that eveyone will enjoy
Disadvantages: no- it seems this one is flawless!

...Before I bought this double album, Meat Loaf was, to me, I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) and Bat Out Of Hell. I didn't go looking for this album, but it was on the strength of these songs that I chose it as the final selection in a 3 for £30-type deal, and I have to say I am very glad I did. The two songs I mentioned are of course in this complilation, as the opening and closing tracks on disc 2 respectively; I'd do Anything For Love is an epic 12 minute album version, as opposed to the single released in the early 90s. But wait - there's more! I was quite surprised as the opening track on Disc One, Home By Now, phased into No Matter What, more commonly known as a hit for Boyzone. My sister was equally surprised to hear one of my personal favourite tracks, A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste, which, if I...

Review of Very Best Of Meat Loaf, The - Meat Loaf

Nay to meat. It isn't natural for human beings!

Advantages: Natural, healthier, less heart disease and risk of cancer
Disadvantages: Some people don't get enough vitamins or iron due to a poor vegetarian diet

...I've been vegetarian since 1992. Over the years, I have found many meat eaters have made it their purpose to question my choice, and interrogate me about how I get my iron and protein etc. in an attempt to prove to me that I need to eat meat. "Oh, but we're carnivores" they'll insist on telling me. This is completly incorrect. We're not carnivores. If we were, then we'd hunt and kill our meat and eat it raw. Our incisor teeth would be capable of ripping and tearing an animal's tough skin in order to reach the flesh underneath. Instead, we have to tenderise, cook, add herbs and spices and gravy to our plate of meat, so that it is palatable, socially acceptable, tasty and digestable. Our incisor teeth are in fact for piercing fruit. They're not the same lengh as a carnivores e.g. lion or tiger. Just take a look...

Review of Eating meat, yay or nay? My own personal opinion

Show me your MEAT!

Advantages: Full of Great reading
Disadvantages: Heavier than a cow!

...The River Cottage MEAT Book, by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall. Put simply-a big book about Meat! Published by: Hodder and Stoughton RRP: £25:00 Written by a guy with a very long name, which im not going to use all the way through this review, this book tries to educate us about Meat in all its forms from field to plate, the whats?, whys? and hows? of Meat you should eat and the meat to avoid. In the current deluge of things we should and should not be eating, Meat in many of its forms has taken a bit of a battering. the faceless people who produce these reccomendations tell us constantly what to eat?, when?, how?, how much?, how often? and usually end up telling you that you are going to die. Well I, l ike everyone else am going to die anyway and personally think that its not the food we eat, but the preservatives, chemicals...

Review of The River Cottage Meat Book - Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall

The River Cottage Meat Book

Advantages: This book is the closest thing I have to a food bible.
Disadvantages: Not a quick reference cook book - but nor was it intended to be.

...For any meat eater this is largely a bible when it comes to cooking meat. As the title may suggest, the book focuses purely on meat (of all kinds). What the book is really about is really about is where meat comes from, how it is raised, slaughtered and butchered. If that sounds a bit extreme then this really is the book for you. What people see in the supermarket is the end result. This book focuses on the fact that that piece of meat was once an animal. As such we should ensure that the meat we eat has been raised well, slaughtered humanely and is of the best possible quality. The stance this book takes has won the support of many vegetarians, not turning them to meat eaters but promoting everything that vegetarians stand for. Yes, this is a book full of meat recopies, but really it's much more than that. One word of advice...
