We have all been there. You are running out of time and you need a quick bite to eat so you quickly pick something out of the cupboard that is usually microwaved in a few minutes. Common favorites include noodles, pies and ready cooked meals. All of which come from companies like Maggi, McCain, Four n' Twenty etc. So the real question I have today is, "are home-brand ready cooked meals a good option?"
From a number of taste tests I do have an answer for you, but I will remind you that we all have our own strange tastes and often like things that no one else does. Off to a bad start, the noodles are pretty poor, very stiff and tasteless and seem to consist of any real consideration put into their production. Their canned goods follow that suite however, their frozen ready meals are another story. I have had a number of their frozen ready meal curries (similar to picture below) that actually taste pretty decent. Sure, they take a few minutes longer to cook but the exchange in flavor is nothing to fall short on. I can actually say that I enjoy eating these meals and don't just seek them out as a quick meal but also for normal lunches.
