"made in such a way that no fat escapes while they are being toasted"
So they are going to taste like mummified burned toast and cardboard yuck

So quick to judge.

Yes, in all likelihood they will be crap.

But let's not be hasty. Fat = flavour. So they could taste very, very good! You don't know until you try.

Yes, they will be crap but be assured, they will taste fantastic between two slices of bread after 10 pints.

Are you two sure?

We once (in student days) discovered frozen, microwaveable, doner kebabs. Whole thing: pitta, meat, salad, sauce - and about 1/4 of the price of those from the 'bab shop.

Thought we'd found the holy grail, we did.

ETA: now if they'd left the salad separate...

I think I remember those things, If I recall correctly the sauce was pretty good but that couldn't make up for the very serious shortfalls with the rest of the creation.

ETA, Found them, MMM...


Strangly, I don't remember them looking like they did on the packet.

McDonalds school of advertising I think.

Once had one of those rustlers micro burgers.
Bad wind and bad guts.
Never again and I am sure these will do the same.

I have a similar recollection. The disappointment was crushing.

Ahh yes, optimism. I still remember one fellow stating "if these are good, we'll need another freezer!".

Difficult to say which superior, these or the frozen McDonald's experiment.

Fortunately we had a very good 'bab shop - the phone number of which is still etched into my brain a decade and a half later. smile

in my yoof, we did the Peak Assualt challange... i did the menu and did donners on the side of a mountain.

I found some frozen donner meat that you fried, put in bread/salad/sauce supplied by your self..... got the sauce from our local van (Jodies in Hatfield in late 80's/ early 90's.... still the best sauce I've had)... I was hailed a god for this. Donners were King in 89 smile
