No chance I'd eat this shite (I don't shop at Iceland) but it would work out cheaper per portion to buy a big bag of chips and powdered curry sauce and make your own
@fandangobrandango7864 it depends on how you value your time. I value mine at minimum my hourly pay rate.

I reckon that`s ideal if you get the Munchies in the evening or after a few beers. For a pound you could even double up,couple or rounds of bread/rolls and much cheaper than buying a takeaway.
Good for iceland last time i was back in Britain i was shocked at Iceland prices and well the amount of people I met who despite working still needed food banks to keep their families fed nice to see a good budget range on their shelves again
Had this gaz it very nice especially in the air fryer hi had it with the fish thats on a quid for 2 only had 1 but fish chips and curry for £1.50 carnt go wrong grankids loike it as well
Iceland have done us all a big favour with this pound range, everything in it is great value in these testing times,hope all the other supermarkets take note & follow suit 😊😊
There's also a lot of really poor value stuff hidden behind "3 for £10" to make it look like a deal when often you could buy exactly the same items individually in Tesco and it wouldn't come to £10.
@@jonjohnson2844Yes I find Iceland quite expensive although their big bag of frozen sprouts for £2.00 are quite good value. They taste really good and cook in about 3 minutes.
Farmfoods are the cheapest for the Mayflower sauces, good review as always Gareth, When I have bought similar before I have found the chips come out soggy so may be better value getting the curry sauce and chips separately so no soggy chips
Love Farmfoods -=350 gramsColliers mature Cheddar £1:79 , butter £1:29 and yes we get the Mayflower powdered Curry from Farmfoods. You get a box of Chicken and veg Large Spring rolls from Aldi , add a packet of Noodles and you can make Makway Curry in a hurry. But , as Gareth say for £1 in the freezer as a stand bye it’s grand cheaper than buying Curry and chips from the Fish shop or Chinese .
@@Anita-gp1gv Beef Jerky currently £1 for 100g instead of £3.98 as well, they are also doing the packs of Amoy Noodles for 29p a pack at the moment, on the butter one is 250g and the other around 220g for the same price so check which one you pick up
You can also boil the kettle for The mayflower curry sauce. Just slowly pour the boiling water whilst mixing to the thickness you want it to be. You can do this in a mug for quickness
Had a couple of these recently, noticed the the curry sauce is more spicy than in the Mayflower one and the chips & curry sauce meal that Iceland did until a couple of years ago. So even though I don't rate the curry sauce as highly as I do the Mayflower version its still perfectly acceptable for a quid 👍
Looks ok tbh mate..Add a pack of microwave rice to that to bulk it out a bit all good..Also been using the mayflower curry sauce for years and love it done as a chicken curry with a few peas and onion cut chunky or king prawn and onion and peas..I find if you add boiling water from the kettle from the start it dissolves easier...
Nice one Gareth, I haven't tried this one yet but, I've tried the £1 chicken Korma curry & rice last week & I think it's really nice, Nice enough to put five more on the Iceland online shop cart for next week.
These £1 meals are great. They are only 85p at Morrisons. Not wishing to have a Microwave, I let them thaw and add any extras and cook them in the airfryer, it saves on the time in the oven. A 35-40 min dish in the oven , takes 25 in the airfryer.For the chips and curry i will add some cayenne pepper to zap 'em up and given them a bit more zest.
Why do you not wish to have a microwave? Granted i don't used mine that often because a microwave will never cook food as well as an oven or airfryer but they still have their uses.
@@Coxy_Wrecked Pretty much it is level of radiation that they give off when in operation. Even though they have safety features, they still emit harmful stuff, just like the wifi routers that everyone has in their homes. I remember before they had auto shutoffs in these things in the 1970s, a women in a chip shop took the door off hers to save time. Standing in front of it for hours each day, she cooked her stomach.
Yeah Iceland are getting loads of publicity for these £1 meals and I don't know how they do it as most of the big supermarkets do the same sort of thing for less than £1
Love you vids, honest and enjoyable, would love to see you cook multiple in different ways basically microwave (always if thats an option) and the other way either oven or airfryer... and advise on what you think is best as lots of people use microwaves to save money however if the product is much nicer in the oven that woild be good to know as i would always want to cook my food in the best way, thanks and keep up the great work
Good review Gareth👍 I used to love the Mayflower curry & chips back when I was a teenager I'd make a dirty sandwich out of them... delicious😋 (very dirty though haha)
You Poms and your chips and curry sauce. I understand it's a staple and favourite for many. But here in Australia it's either chips and gravy, chips and tomato sauce, chips and chicken salt or chips and vinegar. But never curry sauce! Besides, Mayflower Curry products aren't available on Aussie supermarket shelves. It's an online order thing. At one stage there, McDonalds had a curry dipping sauce for the nuggets. It wasn't very popular, too sweet and too weak. Cheers everyone and 'Curry On'... 👍🤤😀
Hi Gareth ,thanks for another update .that looked great for a pound .cant have any complaints at all really .keep up the spot on work .Best wishes from Scotland .
Looks good can’t complain for a £1 only good for a snack. you have to add a little bit of chicken and a few more chips and maybe some rice with it , I shall try this generally if I don’t like the taste of the curry or if it’s not hot enough then I had Tomy own liking but thanks for the video 10 out of 10 as normal thank you.👍
I know you tried the bom Bahia asda curry but ive just got the slightly cheaper version for £3. Sold chilled and just the curry without rice. Hot tikka masala. Really nice, it's not spicy really but still tastes lovely.
The food comes second to Gareth I love how he tries anything no matter how rank it looks, I was laughing so hard watching the death nut challenge, my wife had to see what I was watching and now she is a fan! Keep doing what you do mate you are a one off and the best food reviewer on gods green earth
I don't ever remember seeing that before, but in the small print it says "if you are not happy with this product we will CHEERFULLY replace it or refund your money and that's a promise!".
I saw you had tried the Goldfish brand curry sauce and have to recommend you try the Madras version, it's not like an Indian madras but tastes even better than the original Goldfish, as close as you can get to a takeaway sauce.
Had to take out a second mortgage to shop at Iceland a few weeks ago so it’s nice to see they’re doing some nice deals at the moment might give this one a miss though
Prices have taken a hike there, I used to pig out on the beef dripping chips at £1 a 900g bag, then the price kept increasing and now £2.75 a 900g but they never seem to be in stock.
You need to try the mcains hasselback potatoes from Iceland they're are really good when done in the air fryer for 20 mins at 180 and I make my own garlic butter and spread that on them with the sea salt n cracked black pepper that comes with them 😋
Looks quite tasty and not full of toxic crap. Have you ever calculated what it cost you per kilowatt hour to run those air fryers ? If you look at the label on you will find out the information that you can use against your leccie bill and i am guessing you will find it cheaper to buy them from the chippie if its local and with walking distance . Even boiling a kettle to make 1 brew is a lot more expensive than you think , same for a single piece of toast.
Tried this the other day, not too bad but not up to mayflower standard, that time is too long for the microwave, it dried up the sauce a bit, chips were a bit harder.
Curry Sauce with chips is great 👍 £1 fantastic. Dunno why garlic powder isn’t put larger. Garlic and onion are big allergens for some people. Looks like a decent amount for one person. Mild curry too.
Garlic and onions are actually extremely rare allergens which is why there is no requirement to list them as allergens on the ingredients list. Strictly speaking people can have allergic reactions to anything, so they have to limit the list otherwise everything would be in bold. A lot of people claim to be allergic to things when in fact they just have a bit of an intolerance. True allergies can be deadly
@@PotatoPirate123 They can be, but not all are - an allergy is basically an excessive immune system response to a substance. So, yes, some things people say are 'allergies' are actually 'intolerances', but many people have allergies that aren't (or aren't expected to be - obviously it can change with repeated exposure, particularly with certain types of thing) anywhere near deadly. (Hayfever, for example, is an allergic response to pollen, but it's generally mild to quite unpleasant.)
Haven't tried these ones... yet. Tried most of the others though. The chips looked like they had a bit of a crunch to them unlike when you nuke them, on saying that, 12 minutes might crisp them up a bit
I'm a fan of the mayflower curry sauce powder. It's dyed the vessel I use to prepare it in an indelible shade of yellow. It's like proper chip shop curry. I do wonder what the hell it's doing to my insides but then it tastes so good that I don't care. The flavour is hard to find outside of the UK.
I’d recommend trying the “Maysan” curry paste same principle as the Mayflower, cold water and heat through, they also do 4 strengths/flavours. Spot on Gaz!!
yes the Maysan ones I had sent to me from "approved foods" were brilliant just like Chinese chippy curry sauce unfortunately since brexit I cant get stuff sent out any more
A good meal for a quid , if you want to stretch it out add a bit of cooked chicken a few mushrooms and onions , great . Thanks again for the vids , all the best , Brian
I work night shifts and we have no kitchen facilities other than a microwave and a kettle. So these ready means are perfect to have when on shift. Quick, easy and cheap.
You cant go wrong for £1, chips arent cheap these days either. I like the curry sauce you get in jars at Tesco or Sainsburys which are around 45p but then you have to add the cost of the chips. I cant see these been vegetarian though, the ingredients look okay its the curry sauce no mention of what it is and no V sign on packet
Hi, I love your channel. I have misophonia,but you are one of a very,very few people that doesn’t trigger me in to a rage when I hear them chew. I sound a right nutter but it’s true. 😂😂😂😂😂❤️
I recently tried a Morrisons £3.25 chilled meal because it was reduced to clear. Dry Italian mozzarella sauce sticking the pasta strips together, with about 5 small chicken pieces. It was pretty bad, and the chicken was so tough I threw it away. I would have been really annoyed if I had paid full price. Iceland £1 ready meals are usually more reliable.
Could you do a comparison between heating meals in the oven and in the microwave for taste. Years ago I made 3 Christmas puddings. I cooked one in the microwave one in the pressure cooker and one in the old fashioned steamer. The difference was noticeable. Best the old steamer then pressure cooker last microwave. I was wondering Would the chips be soggy in the microwave?
Hi Gareth, a £1 for chips and curry can't go wrong for that price, I look out for this, I'm off to Iceland in the week I'll will pick it up. Cheers take care😁😋🤤👍
Hi Garath I know that this would considerably raise your costs but, for things like this could it be an idea to get Two and then compare what it's like in the Oven and what it's like from the Microwave? Just a thought buddy
I would have thought it would be better to have the chips and sauce separate. Cook the chips so they are crispy then add sauce. 🤔 not bad for a quid tho. I wouldnt buy it, but at least it's an option for others to get a meal cheap.
Sunday Salute Gareth, a very quick personal comment. Thanks Iceland for your £1 a go items. But from my POV,only things to go chips. Vinegar and Salt . Ketchup on the side.All my very best to you& yours pal Allan&Family. ❤
Top tip don't ever cook food in the microwave or oven in a plastic container.. because there are more chemicals in the plastic than there are ingredients on the back of the packaging added to what ever meal is in the plastic container.. always tip the contents in a oven proof dish or a saucepan 👍and i don't even own a microwave..but that curry sauce and chips looked amazing 😋
@@BothSideStoriez Exactly so you're Probably eating something you shouldn't be eating.. let's state a fact since microwave ovens came about there are more people now suffering with Cancer than ever before.. makes you think 🤔
I bought that curry sauce powder, last summer and it was great with chips. Although, I had the whole tray in about 10 days and it messed up my insides. Apart from that time, I’ve not been Iceland in over a year but I love curry chips and am deff going Iceland tomorrow. I will go easy on it this time though 😂 Oh for any crisp lovers, I recommend Seabrookes the cheese & onion is so good and so is ready salted and salt & vinegar. I only ever see them in Iceland, though. Hope they still do em.
@@rundattmedia2106 I prefer them to walkers but they don’t sell them in any corner stores in my part of London. I’ve looked all over and nobody sells them. I’ve been told they are more common up north.
@@grahamkelly8662 Walkers have gone down hill. Golden Wonder are my fav, especially the salt and vinegar, sausage and tomato and picked onion.

Thats all you need for dinner sometimes Gaz, chips and curry sauce. Maybe a crisp sandwich for supper though. Still all on a budget.
A good meal for a quid , if you want to stretch it out add a bit of cooked chicken a few mushrooms and onions , great . Thanks again for the vids , all the best , Brian
The sauce is not too bad, I had them a couple of weeks ago.
Not bad for a quid , will give that a go this week .Cheers Gareth , Keep well keep warm mate
Cheers Lee
I ate these kind of meals when on site winter time taste like crap but something warm down the pallet even not that palletable lol all the best😊
I work night shifts and we have no kitchen facilities other than a microwave and a kettle. So these ready means are perfect to have when on shift. Quick, easy and cheap.
Brilliant mate, yes been in the similar situation when I worked nights.
You cant go wrong for £1, chips arent cheap these days either. I like the curry sauce you get in jars at Tesco or Sainsburys which are around 45p but then you have to add the cost of the chips. I cant see these been vegetarian though, the ingredients look okay its the curry sauce no mention of what it is and no V sign on packet
Thanks for the tips!
Had them on Friday plenty of sauce with Lidlington tray of chicken curry should try that gaz £6.00 plenty of chicken
Great review Gaz the only problem with those is I like crispy chips 👏👏👍👍
Luvley Jubbley 😋🔝
Cheers Peter
Hi, I love your channel. I have misophonia,but you are one of a very,very few people that doesn’t trigger me in to a rage when I hear them chew. I sound a right nutter but it’s true. 😂😂😂😂😂❤️
Haha cheers, hope you're well
Me and the missus, will be having this to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I know how to to live the 'high life'.
Happy anniversary 🎉
Great review, Could you please do the Italpizza 26×38 Grillfest Pepperoni, Sausage, Bacon 535g out of Icelands👍
Would like to see you do reviews of frizen meats like frozen mince and chicken breast to see how they compare to fresh bud
I recently tried a Morrisons £3.25 chilled meal because it was reduced to clear. Dry Italian mozzarella sauce sticking the pasta strips together, with about 5 small chicken pieces. It was pretty bad, and the chicken was so tough I threw it away. I would have been really annoyed if I had paid full price. Iceland £1 ready meals are usually more reliable.
Could you do a comparison between heating meals in the oven and in the microwave for taste. Years ago I made 3 Christmas puddings. I cooked one in the microwave one in the pressure cooker and one in the old fashioned steamer. The difference was noticeable. Best the old steamer then pressure cooker last microwave. I was wondering Would the chips be soggy in the microwave?
Think i shall be trying these myself big fella, next time that Dave goes to Iceland 😊
Gunna use this as a meal for 10 I’m gunna make sure I bloody get it done thanks for the video Gareth 👍
Ideal for a meal at work or when you stagger in from the pub and your brain says must cook food
Haha yes
Hi Gareth, a £1 for chips and curry can't go wrong for that price, I look out for this, I'm off to
Iceland in the week I'll will pick it up. Cheers take care😁😋🤤👍
Cheers mate
Hi Garath I know that this would considerably raise your costs but, for things like this could it be an idea to get Two and then compare what it's like in the Oven and what it's like from the Microwave? Just a thought buddy
Cheers Chris
Yes. Good point, I've often wondered if foods cooked in microwave oven or air fryer result idifferently
Morning Everyone
Morning Gareth
Greetings from Yorkshire 👋👋
Afternoon 😊
Tried.Enjoyed it.
Spot on thanks mate!
No problem 👍
I’m sure it has a use for somebody,Good review Gareth,👍
I would have thought it would be better to have the chips and sauce separate. Cook the chips so they are crispy then add sauce. 🤔 not bad for a quid tho. I wouldnt buy it, but at least it's an option for others to get a meal cheap.
Sunday Salute Gareth, a very quick personal comment. Thanks Iceland for your £1 a go items. But from my POV,only things to go chips. Vinegar and Salt . Ketchup on the side.All my very best to you& yours pal Allan&Family. ❤
Cheers mate
Goldfish brand curry sauce is better than Mayflower. They both go stale quickly when opened so best to divide and freeze portions.
Top tip don't ever cook food in the microwave or oven in a plastic container.. because there are more chemicals in the plastic than there are ingredients on the back of the packaging added to what ever meal is in the plastic container.. always tip the contents in a oven proof dish or a saucepan 👍and i don't even own a microwave..but that curry sauce and chips looked amazing 😋
Plus it's recycled plastics yuck
@@BothSideStoriez Exactly so you're Probably eating something you shouldn't be eating.. let's state a fact since microwave ovens came about there are more people now suffering with Cancer than ever before.. makes you think 🤔
The plastic trays often crack too
I bought that curry sauce powder, last summer and it was great with chips. Although, I had the whole tray in about 10 days and it messed up my insides. Apart from that time, I’ve not been Iceland in over a year but I love curry chips and am deff going Iceland tomorrow. I will go easy on it this time though 😂
Oh for any crisp lovers, I recommend Seabrookes the cheese & onion is so good and so is ready salted and salt & vinegar. I only ever see them in Iceland, though. Hope they still do em.
Mayflower is great.
Seabrook's is sold in most places, I don't rate them at all though. Bring back Brannigans!
@@rundattmedia2106 I prefer them to walkers but they don’t sell them in any corner stores in my part of London. I’ve looked all over and nobody sells them. I’ve been told they are more common up north.
@@grahamkelly8662 Walkers have gone down hill. Golden Wonder are my fav, especially the salt and vinegar, sausage and tomato and picked onion. They're so strong they burn your tongue especially the salt and vinegar lol.
I'm from Kent so only next door to you. Most big supermarkets sell Seabrook's. Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's etc.
Haha yes you can get addicted to it. Yum 😋
