Don't add water
This is OK. I use it as I hate peeling and chopping swede. Just read some of the reviews about the product being watery but I have never added water or cooked on the hob. I either place what I need in a roasting tin and put in the oven or pop in the microwave straight out of the bag. Its very nice as a cottage pie topping. Again, I just place on top and pop in the oven to cook before adding a few grams of cheddar😋 I agree that the ratio is not 50/50 - more swede please
The flavour was okay. The texture was horrible.
The flavour was okay. The texture was horrible. I did NOT add water but it was very sloppy. I won't buy this again.
Good as long as you READ THE COOKING INSTRUCTIONS!
Read the cooking instructions! Nice and tasty, handy to keep in for something different with pork chops for example. The ratio of carrot to swede is clear on the ingredients!
needs to be 50/50
Needs to be 50/50 carrot and swede.
The 1st time I bought this I added too much water
The 1st time I bought this I added too much water and it disintegrated. However I now learnt my lesson and didn't add water and cooked gently, after I added butter and some seasoning and it tasted pretty good. The only negative I can think of, is that there's not a good swede to carrot ratio.
Horrible
Up to now, I enjoy all Aunt Bessie, but this swede and carrot is disgusting. The consistency is very off, it sort of popped and left a fat sludg in the mouth, smelt rancid, and taste horrible. It was so bad I spat it out. This is so far away from the real thing. It had a very odd rancid oil bitter taste. Kids will be put off for life I would think. Using the real veg mashed with a little salt pepper and butter makes a lovely sweet veg dish with a few small soft lumps. I shall never try this again.
Ok if you’re short on time.
I make my own when I have the time but this is fine as a quick alternative. Admittedly it used to be better tasting. But still ok. I sometimes buy Tesco’s chilled carrot mash swede but find that a bit sloppy even though that one contains potato? But people are complaining about that one having potato in it. They’re complaining about this one NOT having potato in it. Is there no pleasing ANYONE? I only write a negative review if it’s something totally unacceptable or inedible for some reason. I think moaning for the sake of moaning go make your own or find another place to buy it. Why are people adding water to it? Carrot and swede already hold enough water and being frozen on top combined with the steam created from cooking is enough moisture.
Not as nice as it used to be, but still OK.
This isn't as nice as it used to be, but, as for people saying it is slop, they must be heating it incorrectly? (I see some put it in water, no wonder it was sloppy!) As for the person asking where the potato was, it doesn't say it contains potato! It's perfectly adequate & quick & easy, just tastes different to how it used to, well, to me anyway! Warm gently, stirring constantly, in pan on hob (DON'T ADD WATER!!) or best in microwave.
Don't do it ...
Revolting!
