Pot Lunch: Batchelors Pasta ‘n’ Sauce – Cheese & Broccoli

Ok so like, I need to remember what I thought of these so I know whether I want to buy them again and if it’s not somewhere on the internet for me to look, did I even write it down?

Anyway. This was fine. The pasta was a bit too small and there was too much liquid at the end which made fishing the pasta out a little tricky. It did smell and taste good.

Chinese Food etc

So I’m reading about a place I’ve been to eat at a few times and the article has the following:

Until roughly a decade ago, when the Chinese began travelling more freely, bringing with them thrillingly punchy cooking from its various provinces, Chinese food in Britain was dying. It was dominated by over-sweetened iterations of clumsy Cantonese dishes which made you hate yourself for eating them.

And I cannot help but wonder where this person had been going to eat. I mean sure, you do have English-Chinese food, but that’s why when you go to a Chinese restaurant you take a look and see if there are more white people than Chinese people there and then you know what kind of Chinese food to expect. I guess this guy didn’t know about the secret Chinese menu.
