Delicious!!

5 stars

I loved these, cooked them in the oven rather than frying. They were crispy, tender and tasty. Definitely recommend them.

Notso katsu

Another new product to try ...... but won’t be buying again. The picture showed lovely, thick, white pork escalope meat but the pork inside was thin and very tough, not a tender pork escalope at all. The meagre helping of meat was totally overpowered by a rather peppery, thick coating. The brief description I read on the front of the packaging made no mention of the coating being spicy, describing it as a “crisp crumb” - it was crunchy and dry, not crisp at all. The curry sauce was mild, as described, but tasted very synthetic and had a rather pasty texture. I’ve had Katsu chicken curry in restaurants and often prepare pork schnitzels at home so the notion of a pork escalope katsu curry appealed to me. The end result was extremely disappointing and did not in my opinion seem to be anything like the picture on the product packaging.
