Here's What I Had For Dinner - Part III - Don't quote pics!

First of the Hello Fresh recipes. Bacon and mushroom linguine. Have to say, even with my limited taste, it was bloody good. I did add some cherry toms and basil that I wanted to use up, but the OH was very impressed. He did add a barrel load of parmesan to his, and he said he'd probably add chicken to up the protein. We both agreed that the chilli was a great addition. Not something I would have used myself, but I'll definitely use it in future.

8/10

Day 2 of Hello Fresh meals.

Salmon with buttered rice and roast broccoli.

Very disappointing. I gave the 2 pieces of salmon to my OH because they were tiny. The rice was very stodgy and the broccoli was still hard after 40 mins in the oven.

The OH said the salmon was very tasty, seasoned, coated with mayonnaise and breadcrumbs. But he hated the rice and broccoli as did I. I cooked some prawns in garlic butter for myself to have instead of the salmon.

No pics, honestly it looked too disgusting to warrant a photo.

3/10

I was sick with Covid and I couldn't be bothered trying to figure out shopping. It just seemed like a handy way to get what I needed to make a few meals without having any waste. Also, there was a offer for 50% off the first box, I love a barg! I've one more meal to make, but I've cancelled the subscription.

I think it has its merits, I could definitely see the value of it if I was living on my own or living somewhere rural. I know I could have gotten a supermarket delivery, but my brain was not braining enough to even think about planning what to make, and the no waste element is very appealing.

Last of the Hello Fresh dinners. Cottage pie, was supposed to be served with green beans but they looked a bit ropey, so baked beans it was.

Tasty, good sized portion.

Overall I'd give the whole experience 6/10.
