Default Fresh or frozen?

What type of food do you eat more ... microwave a pre-made curry for 5 minutes or do you cook (or have someone cook for you)?

Only ever eat ready meals and oven food tbh, can't be bothered buying loads of different ingredients and spending ages knocking together a meal that will only take 5 minutes to eat and then you're left with loads of washing up

Frozen food is always cheaper so I buy that quite a lot as well, though some foods I'm always a bit wary of going frozen on cos they often won't taste as good

I don't eat microwaveable meals but I do eat frozen foods like Youngs fish, Birds Eye stuff etc... probably 4-5 times a week. The rest is either a roast, the odd pasta bake, some homemade pastry dish or something Chinese.

Cooked from fresh mainly...I only got a microwave recently after my last one blew up a couple of years ago and rarely use it.....mainly just for warming stuff up.

Bit of both. We do use frozen foods.

But I can't stand ready made curries. That has to be homemade for me.

Yeah I should have said in my post it's not exactly microwave/ready meals I eat when I'm not eating homemade it's more like packs of frozen things like maybe fish fingers, battered chicken steaks things like that.

Same with me, pretty much. Ready meals taste a lot better than anything I could serve up anyway.

I barely eat ready meals, maybe a few times a year. Not everything I eat can be fresh though, like frozen Quorn and that.
