Have you tried it. I have it with taste the difference potato dauphinoise and petit pois on occasional sundays.

I treat myself to a "taste the difference" posh chicken tikka masala from Marksies once, had a few extra quid in my pocket, don't wanna brag.
Put the bog standard one back and chucked it in my basket. Fuck it, king for a day.
It was really tasteless, I wish I'd just gotten the normal one, I bet that would have been nicer.
It was silly getting the taste the difference one first, looking back. If you've nothing to compare it to, you're not gonna taste any difference and that's exactly what you're paying for. Throwing your money away.
I got a pink and white moussey thing as well, that was nice. I'd have that again.

I get the feeling a lot of the M&S stuff is less about quality and more about being able to bring 'pub grub' to suburbanites who would find it a bit of a chore packing all their children in to a car and invading a pub.

If it stops more people from doing that I suppose in some ways it's a valuable service.

I bought some Taste The Difference satsumas once and they all tasted the fucking same to me.

Except that it minimises their exposure to covids.  :(

You're supposed to eat the seeds of those ones.

Morrisons ready made curries are decent. And those bhajis are the business.

I do like a mousakka. The last time I made one of the Hairy Bikers ones I accidentally got the munchies and troughed the whole pyrex dish in an evening, you know the sort that is about a foot long and 6in wide? That was supposed to do me 3 days worth of dinner.

Get in son. Bet you were scraping the crispy bits off the side at the end as well.

Had a similar situation a few days back were i marinaded a load of chicken and pork fillet in both black pepper sauce and another load in this superb satay sauce i get from the chinese supermarket, Lee Kum Lee is the brand. Its not a dipping sauce, more for cooking and marinading.

Anyway, I sparked up the BBQ and cooked the lot with the intention of having some that night and keeping the rest for wraps etc over the coming days.

Boshed the fucking lot.

Ooh I'll keep an eye out for that. I'm going to have a bash at doing some Chinese-style pork ribs in the pressure cooker at some point.
