    For anyone actually wanting to try the product, i can thoroughly recommend the Hoisin one. :)

    Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly is a wrap around kit? I've not seen these.

    It is something like fahitas - chicken, spices, peppers, cheese and salsa with a tortilla type wrap. With the kit you get the basic ingredients and add chicken, duck, or whatever and the veg.......

    Inside the kit you get wraps (flat tortilla like things), the hoisin sauce & spices.

    You will need to add: chicken/duck , spring onions & cucumber.

    Stir-fry the chicken, add the spices. When cooked, warm the wraps, place chicken in the middle, sprinkle cucumber & spring onions over, drizzle with sauce, fold in sides & eat . The challenge is not to spill it down your front.:D

    I can only speak for the Hoisin one as i havn't tried the others. There are another 2 in the range.


    I never thought i'd be doing a recipe on the Newspaper thread! :D
    Autism Mum Survival Kit: Duct tape, Polyfilla, WD40, Batteries (lots of),various chargers, vats of coffee, bacon & wine. :)

    I saved the voucher the last time they ran this promotion and I didn't spend it.
    There's is nothing for less than around £20 in CC.
    If my mind serves me correctly the voucher is worth £5 if spent on sales goods.
    It's a good deal if you wanted to buy something in there anyway but their clothes are a bit too 'old' for me.
    HTH
    Third time lucky on WW I hope :j
