Anolon Roast Pan

Advantages: Very hard wearing, heavy feel, non-stick
Disadvantages: Poor heat distribution

...This entry level roasting pan is certainly high quality. Although it is not a high end product there are a number of similarly priced roasting pans that would fall apart years before this hardy thing would. Not only is this a good sized pan that will happily take a large chicken or piece of beef or lamb but it will do well for roasting vegetables or other such food. The pan is very hard wearing and you'd struggle to scratch off the non-stick with normal wear and tear. This puts it well above other competitors in my opinion. Since it is not a high end copper or multi-layer aluminium roasting pan, the heat dispertion is not fantastic in my opinion but this is to be expected with a pan at such a reasonable price. This is, in my opinion money well spent. A high quality, very durable, entry level roasting pan....

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

Walkers Roast Chicken

Advantages: Yummy, nice taste, strong
Disadvantages: Quite a few calories, salt

...Walkers crisps have been around now for well over 60 years now. A gentleman called Henry Walker took over a butchers shop in the 1880's but after the second World War he saw production go down and had to look for other ways to make money. He began hand-slicing and frying potatoes and sold them as potato crisps, the first flavour being Cheese and Onion. Now there are so many flavours to choose from the choice is overwhelming but I am going to review the Roast Chicken. This has probably got to be my favourite of all the different flavours although it's a hard one to call. Amazingly this flavour really does taste like chicken. The crisps have quite a strong taste and they have a very definite herby flavour as well as what looks like some herbs on the crisps too. They have probably the most flavour out of all the different flavours...

Review of Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps

Nobody here but us Walkers Roast Chickens?

Advantages: Pleasant enough taste
Disadvantages: High in fat and salt, and utterly unremarkable

...and dull enough that the playground was virtually segregated by your crisp flavour preference. The hard lads went for the harsh burn of Salt and Vinegar, while the piquancy of Prawn Cocktail was definitely reserved for girls. Cheese and Onion was for the 'dirty kids' who didn't clean their teeth often enough, and Ready Salted was the potato snack of the studious over-achievers. As a creative kid, I was a Smokey Bacon afficionado, which was just one step away from eating Tomato Ketchup or Worcester Sauce or any of the other flash in the pan flavours for 'ponces'. While all of this crispy apartheid was going on, Roast Chicken was sort of Switzerland, a neutral haven from playground battlefields, because Roast Chicken crisps were what you ate when your Mum hadn't managed to get anything else in the Co-Op. While the Salt n' Vinegar munching rough...

Review of Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps

Roast Chicken Flavoured Walkers

Advantages: Addictive, and a bit yummy in sandwiches
Disadvantages: Dont smell great

...I thought I may as well write about the product of the week, since of course I have tried Walkers Roast Chicken flavoured crisps! Who hasn?t? After all Walkers is one of the most popular and well known brands of snacks in the country, and I asked a friend to name 10 different flavours, not only could she do it, but she named Roast Chicken as one of them. Surely this shows their popularity? Or does it? I have to start by saying that I have not always been a crisp fan, but on the occasion that I do buy them, I always buy Walkers and I am a fan of most flavours. The Roast Chicken flavour is actually something I just find myself getting a craving for. I don?t always enjoy the whole bag, but they are the sort of flavour which you just fancy once in a while. The Beginning Walkers was started by a man called Henry Walker after...

The Magic of Peter Pan

Advantages: Lots of special features and a great movie
Disadvantages: ....... None really

...Peter Pan 2-Disc Special Edition Adapted from the stage play of Sir James Barrie comes Walt Disney's masterpiece Peter Pan. This timeless classic is sprinkled with the magic of Disney, capturing the essence of Barrie's original screenplay. As a two-disc special edition, the film has been digitally restored with enhanced picture and sound. It is bursting with special features from the Disney archive. Peter Pan was a story that Walt Disney himself held close to his heart, so much so that it took almost two decades putting the finishing touches to the film. With so much effort put into it, there is no surprise that this Disney Classic has remained a prominent favourite for over 50 years. Peter Pan is full of adventure, interesting characters, music, laughs, faith, trust and of course pixie dust! The traditional story of Peter...

PETER PAN FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Advantages: Great story, wonderful fx, heart warming
Disadvantages: Minor complaints re some fx

...When considering what ingredients should go into a movie to make the ideal children?s fantasy, action flick, I guess sword fights, pirates, mermaids and a whole vista of special effects would be high on the list. So it appeared when we saw the trailer for the latest, live action incarnation of the immortal J M Barrie story of Peter Pan. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Director: P J Hogan Run time 113 mins Cert: PG Principal Cast: Jason Isaacs ~ Mr. Darling/Captain Hook Jeremy Sumpter ~ Peter Pan Rachel Hurd-Wood ~ Wendy Darling Lynn Redgrave ~.

POSH CRISPS (Walkers 'Sensations' Roast Chicken and Thyme)

Advantages: Tasty
Disadvantages: High in Fat and Calories

...The 'Sensations' range of crisps are made by Walkers. Famously launched by the Gary Linekar and Victoria Beckham advert back in 2002 these crisps have gained a reputaion as 'posh' crisps (hence V.Beckham) and this 'poshness' is certainly reflected in the packaging which gives the crisps an 'up market' and attractive appeal. I brought my Roast Chicken and Thyme 'Sensations' packet (160g) from Somerfield for £1.65 on a 'buy one get one free' deal. ~Packaging~ Sensations first appeared in 2002 and at that time they were packaged in white bags now you will find find them in a glossy black bag with their trademark 'artistic' S across the front. The sensations 'S' is decorated with the various ingredients of the bags flavour. On mine there were pieces of sliced chicken, wedges of lemons and a few springs of thyme. ~Taste and Aroma...

Review of Walkers Sensations - Roasted Chicken and Thyme

Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps: Who ate all the crisps?

Advantages: Great taste, easy to open packet, non-soggy crisps.
Disadvantages: The smell when you first open them, not good for diets.

...then my Grandmother and Mum proceded to dip their hands into the packet and steal the crisps inside (the nerve (!)). They seemed to enjoy the potato snacks so I took one myself, still able to smell the strong scent, and bit into the orange coloured crisp and chewed. A few seconds passed with me eating and trying to discern what the flavour was and whether I liked it or not, eating several more crisps as I wondered. It was a enjoyable taste once I ate a few but I was still undecided, then last night ended with three empty packets of Walkers Roast Chicken crisps. The flavour was (as I have said in the above paragraph) a mix of gravy granules and chicken, it tastes quite nice as the chicken flavour compliments the potato crisps rather like gravy on chips. I enjoyed it once I got used to the smell, it's a savoury taste and if you like roast...

Review of Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps

For those who can't cook or hate cooking roast beef

Advantages: Quick, easy, saves messing about, tasty, lean, good gravy, economical
Disadvantages: None unless you don't like gravy

...quite often, because I live alone and buying a fresh joint of beef is uneconomical, plus I'm not very good at cooking roast meat from scratch. It is recommended that Birds Eye Roast Beef be cooked from frozen, and it can either be dropped into a saucepan of boiling water, simmering for 25 minutes, or you can make 2 slits in the bag and microwave on high power for 8 minutes in total. I personally find the end result is far nicer when going down the boil-in-the-bag route, and I cheat when cooking mine (as I hate using too many pots and pans when cooking, because of a deep loathing of washing-up). I usually cook my vegetables in a tiered steamer, so I fill the bottom part with water which I bring to the boil, then I immerse the bag of beef in gravy into the boiling water and turn to a medium simmer. About 10 minutes after, I place the 2nd...
