Taste test comments
Was the least overcooked and the tomato tasted the most natural out of the meals; meat quantity is OK; the meat isn't dry; the sauce is a bit sour and watery; there are little bits of carrot evident and the mince looks ok; the pasta is a little overcooked; the sauce tastes meaty but it's not a thick sauce with good coverage; wine smell from the sauce; film did not expand during heating and meal was only luke-warm when heated for 1.5 minutes as per instructions.
