When I bought this the guy in Iceland asked me to let him know how it was as no one there had tried it yet.
Turns out it's likely because it takes 40 mins to oven cook, and would rather you defrosted it first .
That's a lot more mental planning and effort than I'd expected - and also it's for 4 and I'm only one person
Which means getting complicated and using half the sauce
And somehow chiselling off half this bag of horror.
Meanwhile in the frozen aisles these lovely mini waffles appeared. Looking like Tetris blocks and infinitely divisible they are also much better for dipping. How have these not been around for 40 years?!
All hail the air-fryer, I'm sticking them in the oven.
Wait ages for a long piece and get loads when you don't need one.
Thankfully blurred shot of defrosted but not cooked burnt ends bag. Looks like dogfood.
As I was home alone I decided to just go for it, make the whole bag of burnt ends and some waffle fingers on the side. With a bit of cooking and the sauce added on it not only started to resemble human food but actually smelt really good.
And turned into a serviceable meal at home. Had the meat portion not been so big I'd probably have added some other sides, but I could definitely imagine getting this at a TGI and being absolutely fine with it. Better for two people, but possible for one with a movie and breaks.
The sauce was the star, but the meat was decent quality and while not particularly crispy that might have been me using the glass casserole bowl instead of the tin as recommended.

I did spot as well this full Sunday Roast chicken dinner for 4 for £25 (including veg and pigs in blankets) which I think I'd struggle to solo, but for 2/3 might be manageable. Can't imagine how long this would take in the oven from frozen though.
