TESCO Heads-up

[Frogo]

For all those who like the boil in the bag meals (pouched food), tesco are doing a range of 3 types of curry, Thai, Tikka and Korma all for 99p.

 

[adestu]

oooh me likey.thai sounds good.cheers

 

[markie*mark0]

any links? i can't find them on the tesco website

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Seconded, linky please.

 

[Neumo]

Ta. I must have a look tommorow & stock up on these. Hopefully they have a long shelf life.

 

[Frogo]

Sorry guys, this is all I could find, http://www.ciao.co.uk/product_media_view.php?ProductId=7803466&MediaId=7803466&MediaType=Image.

Each pack contains 400g.

Unfortunately we don't have these in Ireland, retort pouches are still a rather esoteric item over here.
We do not have "Look What We Found" meals but things are looking up, my local Tesco are now stocking "It's A Free World" (http://www.thejollygourmand.co.uk/pour-over-sauces?sort=20a&filter_id=3&alpha_filter_id=0) and the "Free From" range.
Both of these pouched foods are made by the Tanfield Food Co. (UK DM015 EC), the maker of LWWF.
The chicken korma sauce contains no meat but when mixed with plenty of precooked rice it makes a hearty meal.
Happy trails...torc.

the tikka is tasty but I haven't tried the others yet, the shelf life is only a few months on the ones I have but I've bunged a load in the freezer so that should give a bit longer on it.

Whereabouts in the store are they hiding these? Our local Tesco has a habit of putting things in odd places, i.e. no tape measures on the diy display but a card full of them next to the crisps at the other end of the store.

 

[Marttiini Girl]

I found them on the top shelf with all the curry sauces in jars, but I'm sure I'd originally seen them with the tins of chilli and stewing steak and stews type thing.
Happy hunting

 

[markie*mark0]

Well I went foraging.......

Hope this helps?

 

[The Big Lebowski]

LoL!

Think i'll go foraging now too...

 

[Frogo]

Markie,
Nice one

You guys are lucky in the UK, we don't have a fraction of this interesting stuff in Tesco Ireland.
Every now and then they stock some really bizzare things like pickled eggs and Gentleman's Relish.
Everybody I told about these strange foods had never heard off them before and were not inclined to try them either.
Happy trails...torc.

Thanks for the offer Markie but I travel to the UK pretty often and I pick up a few things to sample each time.
A curious thing occurred the last time myself and a friend were in London a few weeks ago.
My pal scored a load of LWWF meals going cheap in Waitrose's.
Our luggage was only an overnight carry on bag each.
I warned him about the ban on liquids, gels and pastes etc. being allowed in the aircraft cabin on the way home.
He said he would take his chances with security anyway and if they catch him it was a fair cop.
The stews and sauces made it through the x-ray machines no problem.
I had passed up so many opportunities to bring home such treats over the last few years. Oh well.
Happy trails...torc.
