For those of you keeping score, the reason this doesn't count as one of the 'cooking from scratch' challenges is because it was from a kit. This kit:
Now, not only was this the first time I've cooked Mexican, it's the first time I'd eaten Mexican, but I thought I was onto a winner here. No peppers or any of that dirty business, I just needed to add chicken and cheese! I love chicken and cheese. What could wrong?
It turns out, I had overlooked a small, but vital point. This meal tasted absolutely fucking disgusting. The pack comes with half a tonne of tomato sauce and some spicy powder nonsense, which you careful mix together, cover the chicken and then the next step was to bake it in the oven, but it might as well have been to pour it straight down the toilet, save everyone involved some time and some unpleasant chewing.
This time next week though, I'll be able to eat takeaway again, and we can put this whole unpleasant episode behind us.
I bet it would have tasted better with peppers or some other dirty business!!
ReplyDeleteNothing tastes better with peppers! Nothing!!!
ReplyDeleteRuss you disappoint, this is one of my all time favourite meals, I even do Dan a veggie version of it. It is in fact one of the two meals I can cook!
