What’s wrong with it from a nutritional point of view, Whitewave?
Pasta may contain carbohydrates but it’s also a source of protein.
Perhaps you could tell us what you had for dinner last night?

That meal looks as if it was thought up by someone who hasn’t a clue about nutrition, good cooking or plate appeal.

Ghastly.

I was thinking that as well, Espee. I get so tired of thinking what to eat/having to cook. I'd survive on tuna sandwiches if it wasn't for my husband!

How wonderful to have a lovely meal with a nice glass of wine served to you!

Lonjay has joined us from California so will hopefully be sound asleep by now.
That meal looks very well balanced to me, though I would have preferred red to white wine. ? I bet you enjoyed it.
It must be lovely to sit back and be waited upon lonjay after such a long retirement. Have a lovely day when you wake.

Well it doesn’t look high end but not terrible either glass of white with it
I m like Bradford don’t eat meat or pasta but detest salmon although I do love noodles so I d be having bread and jam if that was the only thing on offer ?

sodapop - I'm not sure of your location/circumstances, but Ocado are partnering with M&S quite soon so that might suit you?

It looks over carotted as well.

I see the ads for the M & S meals glammanana and wish we could get them here. They look tasty and such good value.

BL72 Salmon is right up my Street also when it comes to gourmet meals,this pasta looks rather dry and rather bland,I would rather have a M&S dine in for 2.

It's obviously not a gourmet meal.

The OP is probably paying high fees and expects something better!

lonjay Not quite sure if you're being sarcastic or boasting, could be taken either way.

It's a meal many people would absolutely love; not my taste as I don't eat pasta or red meat.

My idea of a gourmet meal is a lovely crisp salad and, if I'm treating myself, a bit of peppered salmon.

If I'm living on half a shoestring, as I usually am, a boiled egg grin and I'm not complaining, it's the food I love.

I was about to report this, thinking it was advertising!?
It's usually late at night they appear.

Welcome, lonjay. ? Lucky you!
