Vegetarians miss out on a lot more than some Iceland ready meals

I don't think Iceland sells any vegetarian chinese ready meals anyway. So its not like they excluded them from the meal deal, they don't make the food in the first place.

Just checked Sainsbury's website too, they don't stock vegetarian Chinese ready meals. Maybe there isn't a demand for it? As to be fair its quite easy to stir-fry some noodles and vegetables. Most ready meals have battered chicken or shredded duck or something else that is at least a little time consuming. Whereas if you bought ready chopped vegetables its just as quick to make your own meal if not using meat that takes longer to cook.

I've just been and got one of these deals and was charged £9.50, on checking the receipt it seems that the egg fried rice is £1.00 against the rest of the dishes which are £1.50 but the whole £3.50 was deducted on the deal. Now wondering what would have happened if I had bought 3 egg fried rice instead of 1 of each

And just a heads up, the rice and mains are Iceland branded but the spring rolls are Cafe Asia branded and were in a different freezer in my store.

The small print on this offer reads " one out of the three choices of rice" not all three.
Thus, if my math is correct, the remaining items that you have a choice of only add up to £10.50. Not such a great deal after all!

The customer can select one rice dish from three available (Iceland Chicken Fried Rice 350g £1.50, £4.29 per 1kg / Iceland Egg Fried Rice 350g £1, £2.86 per 1kg / Iceland Special Fried Rice 350g £1.50, £4.29 per 1kg), four main meals from seven available (Iceland Sweet & Sour Battered Chicken 228g £1.50, £6.58 per 1kg / Iceland Chicken Chow Mein 375g £1.50, £4.00 per 1kg / Iceland Chicken in Black Bean Sauce 375g £1.50, £4.00 per 1kg / Iceland Sweet and Sour Chicken 375g £1.50, £4.00 per 1kg / Iceland Crispy Battered Prawns 243g promotional price £1.50, £6.17 per 1kg / Iceland Shredded Duck with Pancakes 200g promotional price £1.50, £7.50 per 1kg / Iceland Sticky Chilli Chicken 235g £1.50, £6.38 per 1kg), and one Caf!

We questioned those terms and conditions with Iceland last week as we spotted that too, but it confirmed it's an error, and the offer is:
3x rice dish (choice of three)
4x main meals (choice of seven)
1x spring roll (choice of two)

Happy Chinese New Year!

I wonder why Iceland feel it necessary to put more than twice as much salt per 100g in their egg fried rice than Waitrose do? And almost twice as much as Sainsbury.

Unpleasantly salty, too, so it didn't 'improve' the taste.
