I can tell you: it was when we were having our kitchen done a few weeks ago and only had a microwave. Some M&S ones. They were good.

But the main reason I don’t go for them is first the fact that vegetarians tend to be ill-served with variety and second they’re generally aimed at people who are watching their calorie intake. For me they are just far too small a portion so I’d just end up having to supplement with some sandwiches or something.

Oh yeah I’m sure there are perfectly good ones - I just don’t have any need to eat them these days, I really don’t, so can’t be bothered to look.

I used to get a Macaroni Cheese one from Tesco and grate a shitload of extra cheese into it. Those were the days my friend.

For some reason, I draw the line at whether they can be cooked in a microwave, and not if they have to be cooked in the oven or on the hob.

I went through a period of working long hours in the office and it’s so annoying to find meals that look quite nice, but can’t be done in a microwave.

Sainsbury’s used to do a lovely roast vegetable and pasta dish with cheese and breadcrumb topping, which was my go to meal but they stopped selling it for some reason.

what about ready meals that come in metal containers?

That why I found it frustrating - you can’t cook those in a microwave.

#46

But you’d still consider it a ready meal, no?

#47

I didn’t say that there was any logic to it.

I find the sainsburys posh ones to be pretty OK

When I’m on my own the price to effort ratio vs proper cooking is pretty hard to beat.

I like getting the chilli and rice - having it with some oven chips maybe, Grated chedder and Cholula on top

Or the lasagna with some oven chips

I’m a classy guy

Yeah I’m the opposite - microwave ones make me feel a bit… funny. Don’t know why.

However I’m sure I’d reverse this opinion if I was met with the same circumstances as you in this instance. When needed I’ll eat literally most things.

Ready meals for wankers - fucking amazing.
