Mother's Day M&S Dine in for 4 £15!!

miss-coordinated

I got the salmon which would have been nie but there was far too muc ginger, it was hideously overpowering- especially if you didn't scrape the pieces off which were chewy and so strong they burnt my mouth (and I like my food quite spicy)

I also had the parsnips (on a different day, not with the salmon!) and they were awful too!
cooked them according to instructions and they were a soggy, vinegary mess.

I too will be writing to complain.

Was a toss up between the ready to roast beef & the Beef Roasting Joint, but the Beef Roasting Joint was bigger, a 1 kg, compared to 800gms for the ready to roast beef, but maybe I should have got the ready to roast beef, if its £12 for only 800gms, maybe its much nicer beef than the 1kg ready to roast beef which was only valued at £8

The lamb was nice, but no way would I pay £12.99 for it. It said it would feed 5-6, I would say maximum 3.
The beef was fantastic, we usually get Sainsburys taste the difference & the price is similar, I am NEVER buying Sainsburys or any other again.
It shrunk very little & cut so well, no crumbling or anything. It was valued at £8-£9 & would have feed 4-5 well!

Thats why its worth shops doing these specials, they now have a roast beef customer for life:D

Previous experience (of 2 dine for £10)

Have a drop of wine - if ok drink it
If not to your taste, add some to the salmon (meat etc) to wash the ginger (or other flavouring) off and cook meal in more wine

Result:
Either the ginger doesn't overpower the meal
Or you just don't care

:rotfl:

We too had the roast beef and it was fantastic.

I wouldn't normally buy this as it's too expensive for 3 of us, but it was the best roast beef I have ever cooked. I normally buy mine from a local butcher.
I would consider buying it for a special ocassion though

Well my meal went down very well....

I bought 2 lots, chicken, beef, 1 roasty pots and 1 parsnips. I apple pie and 1 cheesecake (SO SO SO RICH!) 1 cava and 1 lot of elderflower, that was awful! 2 2 2 sweet for us.

The chicken I got was an £11, so a bargain and there is so much left. I put the beef in the freezer but ate everything else! Well 5 of us did.!

I sent to Mums the last of the cheesecake as they liked that, and we (3 of us) have half the apple pie to share tonight.

We loved it!
