"Is it a bird? Is it a plane? .. .etc"
"A tasty combination of minced beef and pasta topped with a delicious cheese sauce". 250gm, standard price - nothing special so far to distinguish it from the previous 2 micro-lasagnes I've had the pleasure of reviewing. Cooking time is 4 minutes, 1 minute stand, 1 minute more cooking. Uncooked, I can already see that the lasagne has been divided into bite sized pieces instead of the usual sloppy sheet. Nothing irregular stands out, it looks not different from the others I have tried. Into the microwave it goes:
It's orange and it looks like barf. The lasagne has the texture of canned spaghetti - a little too soft and soggy. Not too bad so far... The tomato sauce is quite tasty - sweet, slight acidity, not overwhelming. The cheese sauce tastes a little bland, and doesn't really offset the rest of the meal too well - it seems more like it was put there because lasagne "must have cheese". The beef mince is almost non-existent, so what you are left with is soft lasagne pieces, bland cheese sauce and tomato gravy with a small amount of mince and reconstituted onion pieces. As a whole, it's certainly not the worst I've had. Not quite measuring up to Wattie's, I'd say it was maybe only slightly below the signature range offering due to the lack of mince and the wangary texture of the pasta.
I don't have much to say, hell no one's reading this anyway. I don't even think I'll bother with the final verdict today, so here is a picture.
