Uncle Ben's is a brand name owned by Mars Inc. and is based in Houston, Texas. They make a large variety of parboiled rice and sauces, which make your life that bit easier and bring some added flavour to your meals. I have used many of their products over the years and tonight my family and I enjoyed Sweet & Sour chicken style Quorn, with boiled rice. It was a complete success, which ended with five very clean plates. This Sweet and Sour Sauce, is part of Uncle Ben's Oriental range. It comes in a glass jar, with an orange, metal twist off lid. The label around the jar in mainly coloured in orange and white, with a close-up picture of a bowl of ...  Read the complete review

Sweet and Sour isn't my favourite flavour in the world, but I do like it on the odd occasion. It's not that I don't like it, more that there is so many more nicer ones out there. I picked up a jar of this when I got the Chilli one from Uncle Bens. I think this normally costs around £1.50, but there was a 2 for £2 on the range, and since the best before date is forever in the future then I tend to buy things like this when on offer and I always have a few jars kicking around the cupboard. The jar is how you would expect it to be. It is a clear jar and you can see the medium coloured red liquid through it. It is a medium thickness as well, as I shook ...  Read the complete review

I`m not a great fan of sweet and sour sauce I must admit, and purchased this purely to give to my daughter to satisfy her. I personally like Uncle Bens products have bought other varieties. I like the fact that you can see what you are buying. On opening the jar I found the Sweet and Sour sauce to be a rich red colour, on pouring the sauce out of the jar, I found it was packed with vegetables, pineapples and bamboo shots and looked very appertising. I fried some chicken up in a seperate pan and added the sweet and sour to it, it smelt delicious, I thought it looked good too. After simmering for for approx 10 mins for the ...  Read the complete review

Some times I try and still enjoy the things that I love from the takeaway without spending quite so much money so I recently purchased an Uncle Bens Sweet & Sour sauce (750g) on offer for just £1.00 in my local corner shop (current price in Tesco is £1.86) so I thought this was a bargain that I just couldn't resist. The sauce comes provided in a glass jar with a paper label which shows all the usual nutritional information, ingredients, calories, company information etc as well as displaying the use by date of the product. There is nothing amazing about this jar really but at least I can see inside to view the sauce within as there is nothing worse than ...  Read the complete review
