Birds Eye 10 Green Cuisine Vegan Veggie Fingers 284g
Almost perfect but...
I have had these a few times but purchased elsewhere, but they are on my favourites list here now so a future purchase will come from here as they are actually cheaper! The quality and taste of the product is excellent, and they do make a nice change even for those who would want a few regular fish fingers, the vegetable content is good too. I was surprised by this the first time I tried them, I was not really sure what to expect. I do recommend you give them a quick trial if you're not sure. My only real concerns are twofold... There is no Morrisons own brand, please consider making them! Secondly they are not microwave cookable which is quite a shame really, something I would like to see a few more products offer, it is certainly feasible.

McCain Slow Baked Jacket Potatoes 4 x 200g
Great standby
Although frozen ready baked potato's are by their nature going to cost more than regular ones, they do make a brilliant standby product for keeping in the freezer for such a time when you are in a great hurry and need either a baked potato or something extra to go with a meal or such. I tend to keep a pack of these on standby for just such an occasion. They do taste very good for what they are too. There is an alternative branded product too that is quite similar but their potato's are a bit smaller which is expected with the quantity and price difference. These do make an ideal freezer standby however as mentioned.

Birds Eye 4 Super Sunshine Steamfresh 540g
Super
This is a super product that I love. I have tried third party versions of this but they are not in any way near. The veg always tastes brilliant with these. The carrots are very thinly cut which may or may not be to your liking, think like thick matchsticks. My only caveat is lately there seem to be more carrots than before, not a bad thing however the proportions seems more than the indicated 47, perhaps it is just me. I do really recommend this product, very quick and easy and ideal either as a quick snack or as a side. My only real complaint is I cannot fit two bags into my tiny microwave at once which is a shame as you must not overlap them according to the instructions.

Morrisons Salt/Pepper Crackers 185g
Recommended
Having tried these a few times as well as a 'leading brand' and other supermarkets, I prefer these. I will be completely honest they are almost the same as one other supermarkets, possibly the same manufacturer, who knows but that's irrelevant for this review. The point here is these are a lot better than the 'leading brand' I find, they are both a little bit thinner and they are quite a bit stronger. The leading competing brand I found exceptionally dry, even for a cracker! Compared to Morrisons own brand they are also lacking in pepper, again credit to Morrisons here for having a near -perfect- balance with thickness, strength and quantity, not to mention they are also quite a bit cheaper too! I have based my thoughts on several purchases of various brands so its reasonable that they have been average rather than any one-off concerns. Would I recommend these ? Yes without hesitation. My only real regret is I did not remember to get two boxes instead of one with my last order!

Jacob's Savours Bakes Salt & Cracked Black Peppers Crackers 200g
Not bad but not strong enough
These are quite reasonable, they appear to be a bit thicker than a supermarket's own brand, which may or may not be a concern however after sampling a couple of boxes from different places, they are just not quite strong enough somehow, and I'm not a massive pepper on everything fan either, they really just need a bit more -bite- , otherwise they are generally fine.

Morrisons Petits Pois & Carrots (400g) 265g
Quite reasonable
I have tried these and thought they were quite reasonable all in all. I microwaved them, although I gave them 30 seconds longer than recommended it was fine for me. They are not the cheapest I will say, although they are also not the most expensive either. You get what you pay for generally. These do taste better than another supermarket's own branded tin too which is about the same price give or take 5p dependent on offers. My only real criticism is it would be really really nice to see them offered in a 200g tin, I realise this would cost more than 50% of the 400g here but the convenience of a 'one person' tin for those living alone would be very helpful. Morrisons are you up to it ? Same for other similar mixed veg tins too. Please!

Heinz Spring Vegetable Soup 400g
Very good
This is my second favourite Heinz soup, the first is the Chunky Veg. This product is quite nice and it is very good to see a soup that does not have an overbearing tomato content in it, something that does put me off most soups I will admit. I do recommend this one however as its sufficiently different compared to the regular Vegetable soup and can sometimes be found on offer too. My only tiny caveat is the label looks quite similar to the regular Veg soups so a little bit of care must be taken to ensure its the Spring Vegetable you pick. Recommended. I usually microwave mine rather than on the hob and its always been nice enough that way. Makes a great lunch if you add a few bits to it if required too!

Oust All Purpose Descaler 3 x 25ml
Works very well
This lives up to its description and works very well indeed. I tried it on an old kettle first out of curiosity really and it did a very good job with it, the same when I tried it on my normal kettle too. I do tend to rinse things out at least 3 or 4 times however instead of twice but that could well be me. This is one of the best versions of this product if not the best.

Microwave Fries-To-Go 3 x 90g
Good quick fries
Another product I have purchased for quite a while now on and off. They are excellent microwave fries. The crunch and texture is about perfect too and they seem to taste better than the oven type, to me at least. They do not seem excessively greasy either which is a bonus. They are not cheap I will grant you however you are getting a decent quality product that is ready in a few minutes. I would concur with the instructions here do not over do them as they do cook quite rapidly! I found sometimes that you cannot shake them out the box as directed however thoughtfully the other end of the box does open and you can simply have them fall out of that end if you prefer, I tend to do this. Excellent product all in all. I would like to see a Morrisons microwave fries type own brand too as I'm sure that would do well.
