how often do you have ready meals?

[ger147]

I never have a meal before it's ready.

Have a couple a week, but sensible ones. Not the ones full of fat and saturates. Only because I work nights and prefer something warm after being out in the cold for 12 hours than a sarnie!

 

[Rooter]

Only ones we ever have are curries, even then we cook our own rice etc. Life is too short to have a cupboard full of all the spices required to make a decent curry. Only other packet stuff we have is stuff like fish fingers or chicken nuggets for the kids.

Can you get a quinoa and mung bean ready meal?

Here you go, I was in Tescos earlier and thought of you. No mung bean, but I think pumpkin seed and kale are good substitutes? They're both superfoods I believe.

 

[SocketRocket]

No, I prefer home cooked food.

HID has taken on a few hours an evening work down the recycling centre to help pay my golf fees and so I get a decent holiday. I don't even complain waiting a bit longer for her to cook a proper dinner when she gets back.

Only occasionally now.

We did have more of them a couple of years ago. My wife was trying to lose weight and thought the idea of a meal with all calories noted was ideal. Tie that in to both working full time and it did save some time. Unfortunately, she developed a skin condition which caused itchy and dry patches of skin.
Only after we went back to normal food did it recede

Never have them,eat fish 3/4 times a week, easy to make a meal in half an hour.

Is that when you're away on the boat, or cooking at home?

Hard to top eating fish that has been caught the same day... When Mum lived in Gorleston a neighbour had a day boat and he would often give Mum some fish he had caught...
