disappointing foods
i'm eating a tesco chicken korma.
Not very exciting i know, but it is completely tasteless.Even putting some mango chutney on isnt helping it.Its like eating cardboard in a bland grey sauce with some rice - even the rice doesnt tast of much. What have you tried to eat which was dissapointing? |

Well what do you expect when you buy ready meals! The supermarkets charge a fortune for what is bland, tasteless rubbish.
Make your own!!! |

A treat for me would be going to a nice restaurant! A ready-meal is more like a nightmare!

Home cooked all the way.
This pre packed rubbish is so bland and boring because it is there to be "seasoned" by the individual. You could guarantee if they added salt and pepper people would moan.... For the price of a "Finest" curry (£5?) you could make your own which would taste so much better. PS: Dunno why i chose curry (I hate it) and i am just guessing it is £5 as Finest seems to be expensive, yet still taste "dull". |

Watermelon. Looks all juicy and appetising, then when you bite it it's like cotton wool soaked in water. With loads of really irritating pips.

Asparagus, maybe okay but far too expensive and completely over-rated.
Baby sweetcorn is far better value for the money and tastes better. |

If you are home and if you can stand the sight of Ainsley Harriott for half an hour 'Ready Steady Cook' has some good ideas for meals in 20 minutes or so. They aren't that difficult to follow either. In fact, there are so many cooking shows, recipies on the internet etc, that there is definitely something more appealing out there than a Tesco chicken korma.

Talking of bland food i have just eaten some of Tesco's Finest "Chocolate Indulgence Cake" and i can tell you there is nothing "Indulgence" about it.
Hard, bland, and boring. OK, it is only £1.80 but still... For "Finest" it is crap*. *It does look very posh though. |

If you read the ingredients they are pretty ghastly too.

So fattening. |

Popcorn!
It smells so nice but when you eat it, it is like chewing on tasteless cardboard. |

Most of it does, but i like that toffee stuff in the red bags. Who makes it? Begins with a B?
I had some at the weekend while at the cinema. It was a bit sticky though. Hadn't had it for years. |

Marks and Spencer were advertising some sort of Sausage thing a few months ago and my mum fancied trying it along with the Apple Pie advertised at the same time. Complete waste of money.
