Intro
------
I had this stuff last week after a hard day out at the football. We had lost and i returned back to Leeds city train station short of luck and with a massive hunger urge.
I popped in to the M and S simply food and was looking at all the sandwiches and things when this caught my eye. I remember having it about 4 years ago when it was on offer back at home. I really enjoyed it then so decided to wait till i got back and get it on!
The price
-----------
Obviously, it's m and s, so it is never going to be cheap. At £2 for a relatively small tub it certainly is not offering you great value, but it is really good for a one off and you want a quick meal without going to the hassle of whipping up some culinary delight!
How to make
----------------
It is really simple to make. Get it home, put it in the microwave for a couple of minutes (depending on the power wattage you have) and then take out and stir, put it back in, another 2 minutes and then let it stand for a minute.
This produces the quickest, nicest meal ever!
The taste
------------
The taste really is sensational. It is massively creamy and it really sticks to the top of your mouth. It is perfect mashed potato and it tastes like there is about half a gallon of cream in there.
This means that the taste is lovely, creamy and fluffy, but, unfortunately, means the nutrition is not the best.
Nutritional Info
-------------------
Per half a pot serving the damage is
395 calories!
15.39 g Saturated fat
28.6 g carbohydrate
2.9g protein
Now, as i just said, a pot is not huge. So if you have your full pot your looking at about 800 cals and 30g of sat fat...not something you want to be looking for.
Summary
-----------
Good for a treat!
Summary: 3 stars
