Fresh or frozen?

[Redway]

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)?

[Jake.]

My mum mostly cooks but I love micro-wave meals as well

[MTVN]

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

[Josy]

Mostly home made but do eat ready cooked stuff too...

[Drew.]

cant remember the last time i had a microwave meal

[Jake.]

Micro-wave curry>>

[Redway]

My mum mostly cooked but I love micro-wave meals as well

:suspect:

[Shaun]

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.

:suspect:

Sorry, meant cooks lol :p

[armand.kay]

Mum always cooks, she never lets up have ready meals but we do have frozen stuff.

[AnnieK]

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.

[Marsh.]

Bit of both. We do use frozen foods.

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

[Marsh.]

mainly just for warming stuff up.

...as opposed to cooling it down. :p

[Niamh.]

i rarely eat ready made meals

[Josy]

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. :laugh:

[Princess]

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

[Natalie.]

I have homemade stuff/some froze food stuff, don't have ready meals though really

[AnnieK]

...as opposed to cooling it down. :p

Yeah...it's rubbish at cooling...:tongue:

No, I meant like warming soup up...not ready meal type things

[BigSister]

Sometimes I have a microwaved meal but usually its either in a oven its freshly cooked so really both

[Ammi]

..freshly cooked mostly although I have had a takeaway the last few weekends...

[Ninastar]

i have lots of take away but otherwise its home cooked meals. i hate microwave food. sometimes i'll have oven food like pizza/roast potatos/wedges, but that's it.

[King Gizzard]

I've never actually cooked a meal from scratch

[smeagol]

i hunt mine and it it raw n wriggerling. some days better than others. tonight i got rat on toast

[smudgie]

Home cooked.
Occasionally get a hand from Uncle Ben:hugesmile:

[Livia]

I only have a kitchen because it came with the house, so I'm all for piercing a film lid and microwaving for five minutes... but I do cook stuff from scratch sometimes.

[Samm]

Both

[Z]

Recently I've just been living off a diet of tins of soup, fruit, raw vegetables... been trying to lose some weight so it's been working quite well. I used to do a lot of cooking but I find I'm out all day at uni or I'm at work and by the time I get home I just want something I can eat within 5 minutes.

[Kizzy]

I cook from scratch, well I use sauces and ready made pastry but no boxed meals or tins.

[GypsyGoth]

cant remember the last time i had a microwave meal

Same.

Everything is pretty much cooked from scratch, I guess it's a habit.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, alright Mary Berry.

[GypsyGoth]

:laugh:

I wish I had a fraction of the talent she has.

Also I've only recently taken up baking, it's easier than I expected.

[Jack.]

Can't stand ready meals :yuk:
