Feasters Chilli Dog: Not so chilly dog!

Name: Feasters Chilli Dog
Label: Premium smoked, no hydrogenated fat, microwave in 50 seconds
Cost: £1.60

The fish finger sandwich by Feasters wasn't the best I've ever had, I came to the conclusion that it may be cheaper to invest in the ingredients for the cost.

But upon a trip to my local Tesco I found Feasters do other products as well as chicken and beef burgers. So I decided to try out the hot dog alternative.

The bun was satisfyingly soft, the perfect texture in my opinion, the hot dog itself tastes like a hot dog so there's nothing wrong with it. And the tomato sauce included compliments the meat well. To add the sauce like it is displayed on the packaging, you'd have to cut a triangle out of the sachet and squeeze it on slowly.

In this case, the price tag is worth it. But yet again, it would work out cheaper to buy the ingredients separate and conjure up the meal yourself choosing exactly what kind of hot dog and bun you want to include. Because really you're buying this product for convenience.

Feasters Fish Finger Sandwich: Ready in 50 seconds. Worth the wait...?

Name: Feasters Fish Finger Sandwich
Label: Made with 100% cod, no hydrogenated fat, microwave in 50 seconds
Cost: £1.60

Feasters are a company who make microwaveable products that are ready to have within minutes of cooking. I have all praise for the spicy chicken burgers they do, they tick all the right boxes with quality meat and light strength to accommodate the casual spice strength preferring consumer.

So how much does the fish finger counterpart live up to the chicken deal? Well...

The barm cake was chewy and tough, and had a lot of flour sprinkled on it. The fish fingers were really soft and mushy with no backbone.

I get the incline that the fish fingers they use are watered down a lot. They were rather potent when they were in the microwave being cooked, but taste wise they didn't exactly rock my world. They lack paticular quality, not even as consistent as Tesco's own fish fingers.

This may be because the fat in a product makes it taste better, so if you are fussy about products having certain fats, then this product may be for you with its 'no hydrogenated fat' claim.

However, for the price you might as well buy some barm cakes (6 for a pound or whatever deals they have) and some fish fingers separately and make this yourself, since you'll save a lot of money and you'll probably even prefer them made by yourself.

Overall if you're looking for a quick snack then you may want to give this a trial and see what you make of it. But I recommend you buy the ingredients separately and conjure up the end product yourself if you have the time. The end result would be worth it.
