Guest SunshineSmile Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hi All, Im a big fan of the Finest range meal deal for 10 euros from Tesco (its the same in UK only i think you only have it Mon-Thurs?. . we have it all the time here in Ireland cos we are now officially a poor cousin in Europe).. myself and oh are on a seriously restricted budget due to present economic climate.. so the lovely meal out at the local chinese is no longer affordable. We have embraced meal deals once a week to treat ourselves :biggrin: On tonites menu; Steak Diane (sliced marinated beef, slow cooked for tenderness, in a rich sauce of white wine, mushrooms and double cream) Oven baked potatoes with smoked bacon and garlic (speaks for itself) Stir fried veg (not in the deal, paid 3 euros for this bit) Followed by: Individual slice of fresh Strawberry Cheesecake Accompanied with: Bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (just our choice, there was a perfectly palatable red also on offer) It was absolutely delish. The M&S meal deal is even better but our nearest branch is 50k away so we make do with good old Tesco. My question is .. will i have to say goodbye to meal deals in Oz??? Does any other chain over there do them??? Bon Appetit :biglaugh: Steph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
