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

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...

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

...at the teeth of your pet moggy. The incisor teeth of a carnivore are virtually twice the length of a humans. Our jaw can move in a circular motion, as well as up and down. This is so we can grind our food using our molar teeth. A carnivore's jaw moves only up and down. In a human, the intestines are 24 ft long. This makes the digestion of meat a very slow process. The meat putrifies in the gut whilst taking up to 3 days to be fully digested. By then, it looks just like it would if you left it on the kitchen surface for a couple of days. No wonder there is such a high percentage of cancer of the colon. In a carnivore, the intestines are only 12 ft long. They therefore digest meat easily and quickly, and the waste products are eliminated from their bodies within a very short amount of time. If meat eaters went behind...

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

A wicked product!!!!

Advantages: Makes you feel like you have done some exercise and is easy to use
Disadvantages: Takes you a while to unlock all the games-no actually it takes you ages!

...Wii Fit takes the whole concept of games as exercise to a new level. It's a decent alternative for those bored with the repetitiveness of going to a gym or too self-conscious to join a yoga or aerobics class. It tracks your progress and gives you fitness tips along the way. The board looks sleak and slylish and can hold up to 322lbs (about) and can be used bay all ages as it is very easy to use. The downside to it is the fact that you have to unlock most of the games yourself and you can't make your own fitness regime. It is a fantastic product and you feel like you have been doing exercise. It is FAR better having a go on this than sitting watching TB with a bag od crisps :). I got my Wii fit about a month ago and absolutly love it! A fabulous product & would recomend it to everyone! -xXx-...

Review of Wii Fit (Wii)

Miracle product

Advantages: Last for ages, covers unsightly marks.
Disadvantages: expensive

...This pen type tube has been quite literally a miracle in a tube. It claims to hide all those unsightly marks including dark circles around the eye's as well as a multitude of other sins whilst leaving you with a radiant glow and flawless skin and it does just that. Using the penstyle tube with attached brush you click on the end button to release some cream and then apply it wherever and because of the way it has been designed it is very difficult to let too much liquid out and it goes on in exactly the right amount. I have never been a big fan of concealers in the past as all they seem to do is cake the colour is never never quite right and you can see some evidence of a blemish. However, it is well worth £20 for this gold stick like pen of touche eclat concealer I use this product most days and a year on I still have...
