10 Expensive Convenience Meals

[@jusdeorange]

As a Brit, I laughed aloud at seeing M&S brands, as its a British chain of shops, and they're known for selling luxury goods that are usually twice the price as a regular shop. I currently live in China, and I was pleasantly surprised to find an M&S in Shanghai. Lovely fact to learn that they're in Singapore too! Thanks for another great video!

[@rvheem7702]

Tesco used to be in Asia and was a lifeline for things like tea, biscuits, branston pickle and so on. Every time I visit Malaysia, Singapore or Thailand I always bring a suitcase full of goodies back.

Don't boil ready to eat soups. It breaks down the ingredients which are already cooked. You just need to gently warm it to just boiling point. You can see in the video the chowder just starting split, and that's because it brought to a rapid rolling boil.

[@GeorgeMonet]

It already was if you look at it while it was packaged. I remember looking at the package thinking "I hope that isn't chowder because it's already ruined".

[@snowysnowyriver]

@@GeorgeMonet I agree. Chowder is not the best kind of soup to put into those packets. It's a king among soups (if it can even be called a soup) and deserves more respectful handling. Nothing nicer than a beautiful chowder.

personally I would have after boiling them, taken them out and placed them in a rocket hot pan to give them a good sear.

There are a few different producers internationally so you need to be careful with the country of origin. China is the main producer and uses a forced farming technique. Japanese unagi is either naturally caught or farmed using a seeding technique that ensures the eels lead a natural life before returning to spawn. All said though. I don't think it is anything special. It is a protean with an inflated price with little cost/value benefit.
