Ha i'm not one bit surprised that this tasted more or less identical to all the other pound curry ready meals out there Pap, and the one thing I tend to find separates these pound curry meals from the more expensive ones is the fact that the curry and rice are all in one compartment rather than divided up into two separate ones 😁
I knew you'd predict this outcome Mr Atkinson, and that divider is sorely missed in the cheaper ready meals :)
This is my level of food, cheap and pretty much tasteless but it fills a hole. I do notice the shrinkflation in the 375g weight though. 400g has always been the normal weight of these kinds of meals.
Indeed Edward, prices up, weights down is how they do it.
Shrinkflation has been around since the Covid pandemic, but lately as of last year it's been really bad.
I don't think I will be going out of my way to buy this.
Great review as always.
Many thanks Nigel.
Great to see you back mate, shame the quality of this curry doesn't match the quality of your videos ☺
Cheers buddy, hopefully I will be able to squeeze a few more in this week :)
So, so, so much cheaper, tastier and healthier to batch cook.
Great review, they always are ❤
Many thanks Penguin :)
I add chilli powder to these to give them a semblance of authenticity.
Good idea Edward, will try...
@@Papparoni Add salt, medium curry powder, chilli powder, thyme
Thanks
Nope yhink I will keep my quid thanks for sharing great review Paps😊
Better spent elsewhere M :)
It's good to see another papparonni review again, I'm having char siu curry right now actually. Keep well live natural 😊.
Always natural, cheers mate :)
Will do for a quid! good to see you back Pappy
Cheers mate, good to upload again :)
Really nice to see videos back on - always enjoyable and rewarding. / Great playing mate - fab tune too. / 2.01 dog head looking up and to the left, prominent eye and pointy ears! / Hmmm note so impressive it seems, but then again it is £1. It is not something that I would buy and enjoy, but I say again you can get a curry and rice for a £1 and it does appear edible. / Mark,
Cheers mate, love the dog's head, well spotted!
Didn't even get the lemon juice and salt treatment... But there's clearly a market, or they wouldn't make them.
Got me thinking about what I'd buy to eat, if I only had £1... An avocado? A Pot Noodle? Raisin and Biscuit Yorkie? ✌
Indeed mate I reckon the lemon salt would do something, next time... Also, great question, wish I'd thought to ask everyone :)
Yeah Papp... It is what it is buddy... They're nothing more than a quick and cheap stop gap ready meal... Which will fill a little hole if you're hungry... You certainly wouldn't serve it to your invited dinner guests coming around for a meal... But they're great for keeping in the freezer to grab quickly for an easy snack... If you want something of a much better quality... Then you're going to be paying three or four times the price of this Farmfoods Chicken Curry & Rice... And you're probably right too... Stating that all the other similar basic Curries offered by other supermarkets... Are probably all made together in the same factory... Glad to see you back Papp... Take some extra time away if you need to my friend... Many thanks for the review pal... It's very much appreciated... All the very best... Cheers mate. 🍺
Cheers Rick, and none of my previous dinner guests have noticed that I served them these things! :D
@@Papparoni 😂😂😂👍
I don't mind the odd one of these curries, nothing spicy, bit sweet, but a £1 you can't complain, slap some chips on it to make it a meal, the Mayflower curries they sell in Farmfoods I really like, plenty of chicken or beef in them, think Paps has reviewed them before
Cheers Bogeyman, indeed I do enjoy the Mayflower action, the beef one being my preferred choice.
I think this is really aimed at the budget pocket and a few put aside until the next payday. I wouldn't purposely buy it but as you say, it's a quick and easy fill. I see that you wanted 2 beethoven's for your piano then paps? and like the ready meals lately, it too came in a smaller portion 😊
Indeed a handy thing to have if till is low one month Uncle. By the way, the little fella is Mozart, and he literally looks up to Beethoven :)
My problem is 1 - 375g vs 400g and 2 its a pound when others still do it for 85p
So I would ask why pay a pound for 375g when you can spend 85p for 400g
I am sure many are made in the same factory since there seems little difference bat all between them.
you may still be able to make it by using own rice 52p KG so do 175g of rice or 9p. a jar of curry sauce the cheap on in morrisons etc 49p version. if you can get it.
But even the 99p version is 500g so 1/3 (166g) is needed or 33p then all you need is some cheap chicken and not much of it only 37g
the only thing is offers is all in one quicker cooking but may be still not value
My goodness David, the thought processes you have are admirable.
Your back a was going to ring the police a forte something had happened to you lol glad your safe and your back
Thank you for your concern my friend. So you know, I do go off set now and again
I'd be needing more than a few chips with that, there ain't enough there to keep the belly quiet for long.
Martin, you trooper
Hi Pappa👋 Robbie Williams great stuff 👍 I don't like the look of that at all. It looks like those manky frozen cooked chicken strips that they sell in bags. Even for just £1, I probably couldn't eat it. I am eating more and more vegetable and lentil curries these days. Nice one Pappa👍
Thank you Emily. You carry on getting those curries down you, the spices are amazing for your immune system etc :)
I always love the outtakes. This isn't one for me, I hate the thought of buying plain boiled rice because it's so simple to make. I wonder if you added garam masala if it would have lifted the taste a bit?
An interesting thought Ms Ms, one to try in the future...
@@PapparoniI've recently chicken masala seasoning which is lovely and has a kick to it.
Roger that Ms Ms
I love chicken curries but I like the asda own ones.
Indeed Stacey some of them are really good.
@Papparoni love them lol
I think five out of ten is fair pap. It might not be the best chicken curry, but it does the job when one is skint. I wouldn't buy it but it's something cheap to eat 🙂.
Quite so Ashleigh. There are far better quid options out there :)
@@Papparoni Exactly x 🙂
Not been in farm foods for yonks.. I'd eat this but add hot sauce again lol.. btw is anyone else's co op closing down, ours is in Castleford.
Hot sauce is ace eh Sarah, in fact, I'll be using some in a video this week hopefully :)
@@Papparoni oh ok 👍
Oh yeah !
Oh yes
I suppose this food is better than no food, but nobody is actually starving in the UK now so a bad choice. Great review tho🫶🏻
You said it right Ajk, better than nothing :)
(59) Cheap and cheerful.
Indeed so :)
Its also been a while since we seen you , where have you been . I didn't know they were still doing these meals for a pound
Sometimes we just have to deal with a few things that life throws at us Malcolm :)
Your right .Take care 👍
You forgot to do your lemon and salt trick pappa!
Well spotted mate :)
Hya paps life's been a bit hectic and struggling keep up with everyone's vids. I miggt give this a go. Xxx ❤
Same here Lou, I'll catch up when I can :)
Hey pap good to see you back. Obviously you review products as they come but with £1 meals like these you literally have to smother them in salt and pepper haha. I tried the macaroni and cheese in this brand and it was by far the worst mac and cheese I've ever had would not buy it again
Crikey, the worst mac n cheese you've had James, might have to see why!
@Papparoni yeah pap honestly, it was bad and I love a good mac and cheese too so I wasn't happy haha
Did you have that electric organ serviced @Papparoni ? I don't have a Farm Foods near me, for some reason five Co-op's though :(
No mate, can't find anyone to replace that clunky keyboard!
@@Papparoni I thought it sounded better, how about making another channel also and doing a fund raiser?
Thank you Skorpion but I don't like to ask. I'm sure I'll be able to replace it eventually..
@@Papparoni NP, there's not much point or money in doing supermarket food reviews, there are so many. Cooking is a better niche and music, you can create accounts on and upload content to TH-cam, TikTok, Instagram, Patron and a website private members area ;)
Cheers Skorpion. I'm not actually in it for the money, just enjoy seeing what people think, it's why I don't bang on about like, subscribe and share. I wouldn't ever go near TikTok for many reasons but a members only website sounds better.
'Far nicer tasting quid meals out there'.
That I'm sure of...
Hi Papp.
O man! If being down to your last quid isn't bad enough, you have the hassle of choosing which far better tasting quid meal to spend it on. Oh ffs!
I wonder if there's a 'Quid Meals' app that shows what's what, where it is (near me) and value for money. That would come in handy when planning a meal budget or just a feed.
Nice break 11 days since your last review. What happened.. Did you spend all your money on the last lot of meals? Now it's back to a quid here and a quid there meals.
Mate, I've been hitting the Wombok cabbage of late.
2 medium size Womboks in a bag $5.90 whereas a half of a regular is $7.90kg
The bag is much better value. I'm chucking it in everything from stirfrys, soups, slow cooks, anywhere cabbage will go. The after effects are something else.
Essence of John.
Have a great week. Cheers John 👍🤤😀
Hahaa, great chuckle there mate, and I like your app idea, will look into it... :)
@@Papparoni If there isn't an app, it's yours for the taking.
You've done a lot of the footwork already.
Thank you John.
Hi plenty of salt on the rice
Always works well thanks Adrian :)
Disgusting
Not for everyone I know
