I like the odd Toad in the Hole, but often I find that some makes can come out pretty greasy. I like the odd bit grease with my food, but not if it is swimming in it. We have been buying a few things from the Aunt Bessies range recently, as it seems to be nice enough food, so i'm going to review a few of the things.
I got this in Asda where it was on offer for £1. Recently Asda has been doing a good promotion where most of the frozen food that costs £1 is also 4 for £3, so we picked up a few new things to try. I think the right price of this is around £1.50. Seems a bit expensive for a 400g frozen ready meal.
The meal is in a little foil tray that you put in the oven. This cooks in about 25 minutes and the pastry is crisp and the Sausages are soft but with a bit crisp skin on them.
The size of this meal is ok. I think it looks larger and more filling than what it is, due to the Pastry being flat and rolled out. There is 2 thick Sausages in this, and although they don't taste the most expensive cuts of Meat, they are flavoursome and give out a bit grease, but that is mopped up by the Pastry anyway. The pastry is a bit soggy inside but the outside is crisp enough as I mentioned.
This was a nice Toad in the Hole, which I would have again. I would probably say it is my favourite one i've tried, but not sure if it is quiet worth the £1.50 price tag.
