It has to be said that my other half is no master chef in the kitchen. This is really rather unfortunate, as there are a lot of times when the responsibility of preparing the evening meal for both of us falls on his shoulders, due to me suffering with rather poor health. When such times arise, my other half will happily take over a range of domestic duties such as cleaning and cooking when I am unable to. During a recent spell of ill-health, I had grown tired of eating ready meals and boil-in-the-bag concoctions very quickly which is easy to do when you are used to eating a more robust evening meal which is home-cooked and (if I do say so myself) rather ...  Read the complete review

Birds Eye Potato waffles consist of mashed potato, reformed into a grid shape. Manufactured and marketed by Birds Eye (one of the leading frozen food companies), under the parent company pinnacle foods, the waffles are available in packs of 4, 12 and 15, and have proven extremely popular since their introduction in 1981. Expect to pay around £1.25 for 12. Birds Eye potato waffles are easily recognisable - they come in a cardboard box, with a red sunset background, Birds Eye written on one side of the packet and a picture of a waffle at the opposite end. They should be kept in a freezer at -18 C or colder, and will keep for several months if stored ...  Read the complete review

** Birds Eye Potato Waffles ** I still have that annoying Birds Eye Potato Waffles advert buzzing in my ears each time I see a box of these. You remember the one? "Birds Eye Potato Waffles so utterly versatile" to a 1920s flapper or Noel Coward music style. Urg! Fortunately the waffles are better than the song. I hadn't eaten any of them for ages but they cropped up as part of Sunday dinner with my parents. No matter how old you get there is northing like letting your mom cook Sunday tea :o) Birds Eye Potato Waffles are as you would expect waffle shaped squares of potato. The potato is a bit like mashed potato rather than the ...  Read the complete review

These are a childhood favourite of mine and I still love to eat them! ~~~PACKAGING~~~ Birds Eye Potato Waffles are packaged in a cardboard box and in each box there are 12. There is no other packaging other than the box... but it is kept frozen so should be fine. The printing on the packaging is appealing with the photographs but apart from that, it is a simple design and does not grab attention other than the bright red colour. ~~~PREPARATION~~~ Waffles are cooked in the oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown, and I personally leave them in for slightly longer so the edges are crispier. ~~~APPEARANCE, TASTE AND ...  Read the complete review

As I have said in many of my previous reviews, I am always looking for ways to save money. I try not to buy readymade/processed foods, but now and again I fancy an easy life and a quickly cooked meal. Our whole family enjoy Birds Eye Potato Waffles, especially my daughter, who is always asking me to buy them. The one rule I do try to stick to, when buying this type of food, is that they should be on special offer. Luckily Birds Eye Waffles are on special offer quite often. Right now, in Tesco they are £1, instead of the full price of £1.48. Birds Eye Potato Waffles are found in the freezer section. They come in a strong cardboard package, which ...  Read the complete review
