M&S Steak, Ale and Mushroom Casserole in a Pot

M&S Steak, Ale and Mushroom Casserole in a Pot

By Bill on December 3, 2010

“Tender steak pieces with rich Dorset ale, mushrooms, swede, carrots and cabbage, topped with herb roasted potatoes.” Lots of beef and veg here. The steak is chewy, but that usually means it’s actual steak and not some chopped-and-formed beef-and-soy-protein product. The potatoes are not roasty-tasting; I was actually craving the crushed potatoes from the other […]

M&S Sausage Casserole in a Pot

M&S Sausage Casserole in a Pot

By Bill on December 1, 2010

“British pork sausages with onions and carrots, topped with a creamy potato and cabbage crush.” Like the M&S Fish Pie in a Pot this one is layered with the sauce on the bottom and the potato/cabbage crush on top. The layering isn’t as important here, though, as the ingredients aren’t as sensitive to cooking as […]

M&S House Shaker Salad

M&S House Shaker Salad

By Bill on November 22, 2010

Pasta, cucumber, peas and beans with a creamy oregano and garlic dressing. The pasta in this salad looks like tortellini but it’s actually hollow. It’s good and chewy, but I haven’t figured out the obsession here with egg pasta. Regular pasta would be just as nice in this salad and would help reduce the fat […]

M&S Super Wholefood Salad

M&S Super Wholefood Salad

By Bill on October 12, 2010

“Super wholefood salad with a mint vinaigrette” This isn’t my favorite salad in the M&S Super Wholefood line. It has loads of healthy stuff–edamame, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, lentils–but it’s just not as flavorful as their other salads. As advertised, it’s very minty, but that’s all I wrote while taking my tasting notes. It would make […]

M&S Carrot Salad

M&S Carrot Salad

By Bill on September 27, 2010

“Carrot Salad with a coriander vinaigrette” The description of this salad mentions coriander but it’s the mint (infused in sunflower oil, as M&S is wont to do) that plays a prominent role. The cinnamon in the vinaigrette is also very strong and the honey makes it quite sweet. The bulgar wheat is chewy and wheat-y. […]

Levi Roots Caribbean Curried Noodles

Levi Roots Caribbean Curried Noodles

By Bill on September 13, 2010

“Spicy coconut curry sauce served with cooked noodles and blanched vegetables.” Loads of veg in this meal: carrot, peppers, peas, green beans, cabbage. The sauce tastes a bit like a peanut sauce but best I can tell it has no peanuts (but may have traces as all meals seem to have these days). It does […]

Head-to-head: Tesco Shepherd’s Pies

Head-to-head: Tesco Shepherd’s Pies

By Bill on August 22, 2010

The “Head-to-head” is a feature of the RMR where the same meals at different price levels are pitted against each other in a battle for ready meal supremacy. In this head-to-head we have that staple of Irish dinners from Tesco, the humble Shepherd’s Pie. The Competitors Tesco Value “Minced mutton, onions and carrots in a […]
