Doing a lot of cooking from scratch lately and creating things such as spaghetti bolognese I always find I'm missing ingredients and not noticing till I'm half way through cooking lol! This is actually why of late I have bought a lot of canned vegetables and things, mainly for emergencies! I spotted these in Asda costing 44p a can and grabbed a few cans to stock up with so no longer would I not be able to create a culinary masterpiece at short notice ever again! The Packaging: 285g can with a green and white label around it and on the front of that label there is a photograph of the sliced mushrooms and I'm told that they are indeed Asda 'Smart ...  Read the complete review

I've never brought or eaten tinned mushrooms before but I'm trying to learn to cook a bit more from scratch so when I saw in recipe for chicken and mushroom pie that TINNED MUSHROOMS ARE FINE I decided to buy a tin. There isn't much choice of tinned mushrooms so I got a tin of these Sliced Mushrooms from the Asda Smart Price range. They come in a 285g tin and cost 44p, I was a bit surprised by that actually because I thought they would be mega cheap like the Smart Price tinned carrots and peas that are about 9p a tin. When I opened the tin I nearly threw them straight in the bin because they look rank. The water is all murky and the mushrooms look ...  Read the complete review

Mushrooms are a funny thing. I like them, but living alone, I rarely get through a whole box of fresh mushrooms before they go bad, so some always end up going in the bin. It's because of this, I now rarely buy them, as I see them as a bit of a waste of money really. I noticed these online, and although the thought of tinned mushrooms wasn't particularly appealing, I thought I'd give them a try, just in case I was missing out on something fantastic! The mushrooms come packaged in a relatively small tin (290g) with a very basic green and white label that features a picture of a bowl of sliced mushrooms. Fair enough it's plain but that's how they keep the costs ...  Read the complete review

I love mushrooms and I love cooking, normally from scratch. In my kitchen you will always find fresh mushrooms(often a couple of different types), a huge container of mixed dried mushrooms and a load of dried Shitake mushrooms from the Chinese supermarket. Why then do I make sure that I always have some tinned sliced mushrooms in my cupboard? Simply because they are ultra useful and essential when I am cutting corners! The mushrooms are ready to eat from the tin although personally I wouldn't. When you open the tin the first thing that you notice is the sheer amount of liquid this has to be drained prior to use. I normally use a piece of kitchen paper before ...  Read the complete review

I buy a lot of Asda Smartprice products. Not only are they excellent value, most of them are quite tasty too. One thing I buy quite often is this tin of sliced mushrooms. The main reason I first purchased the mushrooms was because I was fed up of preparing to cook a meal and realising I had forgotten to buy any mushrooms. At least with a can I could keep them in the cupboard and use them when needed without worrying about them rotting. Now I always make sure I've got at least one tin ready in case I forget to buy fresh again. As it is a Smartprice product the packaging isn't anything special, it fits in with the rest of the range by being mainly white and ...  Read the complete review
