Is this the one from iceland? I've just seen it's on offer so I've added a couple to my cart for delivery at the end of the week. Not tried it before so hope it's nice - looked low fat.
I picked up some frozen sweet pot mash and steam bag veg as well as I've a busy couple of weeks coming up, so fancied getting in a few quick and easy meals.That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.
