No, they are unappetizing and over priced . I appreciate some folk need the ease of use and convenience, thankfully while I am able to prepare fresh food i will!
As often as I can, GM.....my farm shop does fantastic meals for the freezer.... ready meals in the town shops have improved so much....and with a bit of tarting up they're excellent.
I really have no desire to spend time cooking something from scratch only to see it eaten......I find no virtue in cooking stuff for folk to eat.....and I have more time to spend in my sewing room....x
I know folk can sometimes be sniffy about ready meals. If you love cooking and do everything from scratch because you love it that's fine.
My farm shop has a group of locals who cook meals for one or more for freezers and using local ingredients......it's just the same as if they had pre cooked a dinner for visiting guests.....
And for someone who hates the faff and mess of cooking that's a heaven sent service......♥
Yes, now and then. Tonight we had M&S veggie bake with some frozen stilton and brocolli thingamies. Accompanied by a pile of steamed fresh veg whichI did manage to prepare myself!
