I a recent thread I was along with others extolling the many virtues of the home cooked fresh dinner. However as an experiment (mostly 'cause of the cheap vino included 
) , tried one of the Tesco meals for 2 last Friday. Was a bit apprehensive, I mean what do you get for €11.50 ? Must say was pleasantly surprised.
- Choice of mains for two which included choices of meat, fish or fowl. ( went for the salmon cakes & lemon butter )
- Side order, which included choices of chips, veg or salad (went for pasta & spinach)
- Desserts, choices, Bread & butter pud, or belgian mousse etc.
- Bottle Sicilian plonk at 13.5% which wasn't half bad at all.
To bulk it out I added some more salad veg to go with the mains, a melon to go with some parma ham already at home for a starter & some strawberries/raspberries & blueberries to go with the dessert.
All in all spent €11.50 on the deal meal & another fiver on the extra bits.
Prep & cook 25 mins from bag to table. ( the wine lasted a bit longer ) All in all, went down very well.
