Snackster's Classic Breakfast Muffin - Sausage & Hashbrown (@NLi10)

Lidl had surprisingly few  suitable office lunches to last the week so I ended up with a few discount microwave burgers to add to the collection.  They are all beginning to blur into one so I had to do a search to see if I'd had this before.

I bought it expecting it to be the McDonalds EggMcMuffin style thing.

but it's sausage and hash-brown (and cheese to bin) in the nice muffin style case.  This bodes well - especially if they've been doing this for longer than microwaves exist?!!

They always look like rubbish at this stage - you can't quite read it but the packet says premium ketchup.  I assume to cover for the budget sausage...

And here we see the 'cooked' version.  A little slimy and odd, but the smell is decent and the textures at least look correct.  The ketchup and hash brown is enough to convince me that someone at least cares that I had a nice lunch, and the other bits are fine considering the microwave.  I'd have toasted the buns for better effect given the option, but overall I'd cope with eating this again.

Turns out the 2nd burger I got was a different brand so I've saved that for the next review!

Look What We Found! Red Thai Chicken Curry - Sainsburys [by @NLi10]

This is a favourite range of mine - quality lunches that take a couple of minutes in the microwave and are easily comparable to budget restaurant quality food.

There isn't quite enough going on in these sachets to take them into work, but at home there are few treats more special.

Especially when you have left over takeaway rice!

Sure - it looks a bit messy but trust me it hit the spot! Quick and delicious I kept on working away without long in the kitchen.

This particular one was a Red Thai curry. It wasn't too spicy at all, in fact I probably could have standed it being a touch stronger. The flavour was a little more English than you'd get when out, but for a few mins in the micro and a very long shelf life this is perfectly acceptable.

Adding the rice was great as it brought the size up into big lunch territory, and I may start having these with microwave packet rice in future instead of treating them as very meaty soups.

Another win from a very great range.
