Ffosse, Don’t get a soup maker!
My vegetable soup done in a soup maker that l recently purchased and returned, looked like sick that l have seen on pavements near nightclubs!!

It tasted.... raw!

No, I'll be making it the old fashioned way.

Re: Co-operative ready meals...

It’s interesting how opinions vary because we like the Coop bolognese pasta bake very much. At £3 to feed two it’s a cheap meal for those times when you just need sonething quick and don’t feel like cooking. I think it’s just as good as M&S’s version and less than half the price.

Re: Co-operative ready meals...

Most ready meals are fairly tasteless these days they removed the salt to the point they taste of nothing. But makes me wonder what they use to make them because I rarely add salt to anything and still make tasty food !

Re: Co-operative ready meals...

Julie, when a dear friend of mine was undergoing Chemo, it altered her taste buds.
Could that be the reason you are not tasting properly do you think?

Re: Co-operative ready meals...

That's a pity, Art. You were looking forward to trying your new gadget out too.
Did you manage to get your refund alright?

Re: Co-operative ready meals...

Weird thing is , I can't eat a ready meal because all I can taste is salt

I rarely use salt, a pinch in the spuds and that's about it ( and I mean a pinch ). Not for any major health reasons, just over the years I've found I need very little ( and I was a smoker and out tastes buds are meant to be shot to hell )

If we do get take away or a ready meal, both of us end up with an unquenchable thirst and heartburn at the very least

Re: Co-operative ready meals...

IT was a general comment mups my taste buds have changed things I loved are not my favourites at the moment. But I've long thought ready meals fairy tasteless compared with homemade. That's why I used them when I went on a diet they didn't make me want to eat more

Re: Co-operative ready meals...

I'd take a good multi vitamin/mineral supplement if I were you to make up for the short comings in your diet.

I haven't bought any ready meals for ages but I do remember M&S having some nice ones.

Re: Co-operative ready meals...

I agree, Carol. M & S do do some nice ones.
Always handy to keep one or two in the freezer.
