  • I haven't found a frozen/chilled chow mein that tastes anything like the takeaway ones, so let's see if Farmfoods have sorted us out...

    Thanks for the warning of the mediocre taste and miniscule prawns. I added a portion (180g) of garlic, parsley, butter and wine prawns cooked separately from raw and served alongside. I added a half teaspoon of mixed spice to the juices from the garlic prawns and added that to the chow mein. That added enough flavour to make the dish delicious. I heated the chow mein in the oven for 35 minutes and none of the meat was “firm”.
    Overall, with a few prawn crackers left over from a Chinese takeaway, it was a great meal for my wife and me.
    I have a couple of other Farmfoods signature dishes to try - I look forward to trying them.

      In my experience Brian, a good amount of the Signature dishes have been really nice, but it sounds to me as you know how to cook well enough to not need them.

      Nah, I’m a www.chef - I use the internet for ideas and then raid the wife’s kitchen cupboards for the extras. Substitutions are not uncommon. I’m happy to let Farmfoods manage the dozen or so main ingredients and just add the extras myself. Keep up the good work!

    Wow... Another CZcams foodi changing Digs.
    Tim WogDads is on the move too. OMG... What's going to happen to the walnut tree and Cataroni will be lost without her green space to curl up in.
    Coco won't know it's way home and the Garbologist will have to change it's annoyance times...
    A great upset in the Force..
    The new Digs better be worth all these changes.
    As for the Chow Mein noodles... Pffft!
    I don't see much to Chow down on other than sauce and noodles. No Mein in this meal.
    Good luck with the move.
    Two things about moving is you find things you forgot you had and you loose things you know you have. 😀😕
    Good luck Papp and aroni's 👍😀

      Walter the walnut has to stay as he's too big to dig up now. Cattaroni has grass where she's going, plus it's a quieter area. I've bought Coco a satnav, and he's happy with his new parking spot!
