    Mike, the macaroni pie has been a part of the Scottish diet for many years. Actually, I could just go one now! Chicken curry pies and haggis pies topped with mashed potato are also available. 😋

    I would love to try the macncheese pie, but where i live in the usa it is hard to find a decent tasting frozen mac of any kind. The best 2 I have found are lean cuisine white cheddar mac n cheese, and the super cheap banquet brand. There are some boxed ones that can be improved with real cheese and canned chicken, but i cant always count on my body to allow me to cook fresh food.

    • @wullaballoo2642

  • @Bille994
    @Bille994 Před 3 lety +1

    That breakfast for £1.69?! Surely it'd be cheaper (and much nicer) for people to buy all the individual components from the basic store brands of the bigger supermarkets. At Aldi it's about 23p for a tin of beans that'd provide 3 portions, tomatoes are just as cheap, eggs come in at like 8p each in a 12 pack, and you can get a bag of frozen sausages (of dubious quality) for about £1. I'm so confused as to why this product exists! Is it purely for the convenience of quickly microwaving it? Wouldn't it be better to just have something like eggs and/or beans with toast if time's an issue? So many questions

  • @ybunnygurl

    You might already know this, the reason your cat throws itself on it’s back in front of you, is to show that it loves you! My daughter’s (also black, coincidently) cat does that too and, when she stays with me, throws herself on her back when I’m shuffling my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night! Also the pastry on the mac n cheese pies benefits from being heated in the oven, it comes out crispy.

      For dry goods like cereal, soda, crisps, biscuits I'd say yes. You can also get pretty good deals on fish, pizzas, chips, frozen veg and fruit if that's your thing. I wouldn't recommend them for fresh fruit, veg useually don't have much choice. The toilet paper they have is amazing, super cheap but the same quality as the top brands.
