Birds eye 'does my beef'

Advantages: Quick, delicious, no fatty bits, made by BirdsEye quality; inexpensive
Disadvantages: not enough in one box

...down the frozen readymeals section when I spotted 'Birds Eye Beef slices' boxed next to the 'Birds Eye ready meal platters' (the chicken, pork and chicken dinners). At only 88p for a box (seving size of 1) I popped it in the trolley, having a vague recollection of enjoyment of this product when little. I wasn't wrong either and my memory served me well! The product comes in a small rectangular box. You can get boxes that contain servings for 1 or servings for 2 (though to be honest, a serving for 2 only serves 1! Sorry with the number games here; try and follow the thread). The background of the box is a picture of a ploughed field with hills and a beautiful setting sun. Foregrounded is a delicious looking plates of roast beef slices, a brocolli floret and a couple of roast potatoes. The beef slices are quick thick and folded over each...

The Beef Monster

Advantages: loads of flavour, cheap, good availability
Disadvantages: flavour not spread evenly

...Walkers Monster Munch - Roast Beef Flavour I like most flavours and brands of crisps but one brand and flavour that have remained a firm favourite for the last 10 year are Monster Munch, Roast Beef Flavour. Packaging The crisps come packaged in a bog standard crisps packet which is a darkish yellow colour. The Walkers logo is written across the front of the packet at the top. The word monster is written is green writing and munch is written in red writing. There is a picture of a pink monster (who looks fairly friendly to me) standing behind the monster munch logo. Finally, the flavour is written in the bottom right hand corner. Price I normally buy these crisps in multipacks from Tesco where they cost 98p for 6 packets which I think is very good value for money. In a newsagents near where I work, it cost 35p...

Review of Walkers Monster Munch - Roast Beef Flavour

Heinz Beef Broth

Advantages: A good hearty soup
Disadvantages: Better if fresh!

...Winter's coming, so time to get the broth out...more precisely, here's Heinz's very own Beef Broth. To many that term may not sound the most appetising, but this little number isn't half bad. From the Classic range of Heinz soup in it's familiar red label, This soup contains beef which was something I used to like as a child when Heinz used to produce their Beef and Vegetable Classic Soup - correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was discontinued around the time of the BSE scare - but this is as near a replica as you are likely to find. And it's no mean competition either. Being beef, you'd expect it to be a tomato-based flavoured soup, rather than a creamy one, which you should expect with chicken, and that's precisely what you get. The hearty vegetables such as carrots and potatoes help add to the dish, but don't make it too...

Review of Birdseye Sliced Roast Beef & Gravy

OXO cubes Beef

Advantages: Makes a good rich gravy
Disadvantages: none

...,im sure that many of you will see her on the lunchtime show `Loose Women`. OXO Gravy my way ! When I have cooked a joint of meat,I like to make good use of the very tasty fat that sits in the roasting pan. So I make sure the fat is hot and then I add a couple of tablespoons of plain flour to the fat.Work it into a paste and then gently start to add the vegetable stock (which you have saved in a bowl from cooking the fresh vegetables ). When the consistency is right for you,then add 2 or 3 OXO cubes and stir in,then season to taste,and if needs be add gravy browning. The result is a good full flavoured gravy . Just a quick run down of the ingredients contained in an OXO cube :wheatflour, salt, yeast extract, cornflour, colouring, flavour enhancers, beef fat, yeast, dried beef bone stock, sugar and onion pepper extract. My Father...

Princes Corned Beef

Advantages: Great tasting corned beef, good value for money
Disadvantages: High fat content

...I have always been a fan of corned beef, both used cold for sandwiches and cooked in dishes such as corned beef hash. However, I am quite fussy over the brand of corned beef that I use. I have tried various brands from the cheapest to the most expensive, but I always stick with Princes Corned Beef nowadays as it is the best I have found by far. ~The Product~ Princes corned beef is the tastiest corned beef on the market in my opinion. It is sold as a block, not sliced so you can slice it as thick as you need to yourself. The corned beef is tinned and comes complete with a key which opens the tin from the bottom. Princes corned beef is made with 100% beef and this comes across in the taste. It does have a salty taste to it, but not as bad as other brands. It is the least salty tasting corned beef I have found, which gives...

Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps

Advantages: Good old fashioned Walkers, cheap
Disadvantages: There are better crisps out there

...Whilst devouring a ham and cheese toasted sandwich for lunch yesterday, the perfect accompaniment had to be a bag of good old fashioned Walkers Crisps...today's choice, Roast Chicken flavour. Taken from one of the 6 x 25g packs which cost approximately £1.23 from the likes of Tescos and Asda, the first thing that strikes you at the moment is the paraphernalia which covers the orange package due to Walkers' ongoing competition to save money on trips around the UK. But that's just a sideshow; you're all obviously wondering what they taste like. Well, of course they do taste like roast chicken - no surprise there thankfully - but although it pains me to say it, there are better crisps of this flavour out there. Ones with a bigger taste and crunch. These have a texture that some harsh critics would describe as cardboard-like when you...

Review of Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps

Hielan' Coo Flavoured Crisps

Advantages: Actually taste like roast beef
Disadvantages: A little greasy

...? Anyway, that's all just so much crisple-crapple. Let's crack on with the review, shall we? Apparently, Highlander crisps aren't all that widely available around the UK so it's hardly surprising that they export a greater percentage of their output than is consumed at home. This may have something to do with the parent company being Italian (San Carlo), but either way, it's a shame because to my mind, they're a far better crisp than Walkers or Golden Wonder. This particular flavour is ROAST BEEF. So how will you know a packet of these when (or if) you see them carefully stacked on a supermarket shelf? Well, the bag's a sort of dark purple colour on the bottom with the top half being sky-blue. But if that doesn't do it for you, the fact that HIGHLANDER ROAST BEEF will be emblazoned prominently across the front of the bag may be a slight...

Beefing up the menu tonight

Advantages: Convenient and tasty
Disadvantages: Expensive if paying the full price

...of celery. There are 30 calories per 100g and only a trace of fat so it is a fairly healthy sauce and a good alternative - calorie wise - to a home made sauce. The sauce comes in a glass jar with a screw top lid and on opening there was a definate smell of ale and bay leaves and the sauce seemed a good consistency. The jar states that this is " A hearty sauce for beef made with ale, mushrooms, onion and bay leaves" *Cooking* The cooking instructions on the jar tell you that you can cook it on the hob or in the oven. To cook on the hob you brown the beef, add the sauce and simmer for one hour. To cook in the oven you brown the beef, put it in a casserole dish add the sauce, cover annd cook at 150/Gas2 for 1 and a half hour. I did neither of these, I added sliced carrots and browned casserole steak to my slow cooker, added the sauce...
