  • Oh, bargain; can you tell me what the packaging is like-coulour/style etc so i know what to look for. My local Asda is like a free for all and i run in with a list throw it all in the trolley and leave as quickly as possible! So is it to be found along side Uncle Ben?
    Thanks in advance.

    It's the Veetee dine in rice. They're in a white plastic 'dish' with a film lid, i've seen them before but never bought them as usually quite expensive. Just looked on Asda's website and didn't realise how many varieties they do, so may try some.

    Oh BTW they had it at very bottom shelf in my store, like they didn't really want you to notice it!

    Really nice these and a bargain at this price
  • I normally purchase that rice as I find its a slightly bigger portion than Uncle Bens, has better flavours and I believe (if i remember when i checked the labels) its slightly lower in fat.

    Popped in earlier and they were £1, so didn't bother. Maybe next time!
