“I tried the meals for the first time after they had...”

I tried the meals for the first time after they had been recommended by a neighbour. I spent £36.00 in order to get the free delivery, so had a good opportunity to taste several dishes. I thought some meals were ok but many were bland with all gravy and not much meat. The portion sizes are truly shockingly small and would hardly feed a toddler. The lamb casserole with new potatoes made me think they were really having a joke. The 'potatoes' consisted of one very small potato chopped into bight size pieces and a lot of gravy. I have just eaten their nasi goreng which tasted ok (but sugary) but consisted of hardly evident pork (9%) and chicken(14%) and I would challenge that! 39% is rice so to charge £4 is a joke. I had a better ready meal from Aldi, the ingredients of which were surprisingly healthyish and half the price. I made a complaint to Cook and they said there were plenty of side dishes to order to make up for the small portions. And since they said they were looking at better options for the plastic trays I suggested they use hemp, which is far more sustainable and they could well afford to give back something from what must be substantial profits. They didn't comment on that. One more meal in the freezer and that will be the last.
