Here at Taste Inc. we want to seriously shake up microwave snacking to deliver an incredible-tasting experience for kids and adults alike. Our range of healthy quick and easy microwave snacks includes subs, microwave burgers, hot dog and baguettes has been developed to taste incredible. Ready in just 90 seconds in the microwave, all Taste Inc. products in the range contain fewer than 500 calories, so what are you waiting for? Open, Heat and Eat. It’s incredibly simple!

Is it all true?

Well, actually it is!

Taste Inc. food actually does taste very good; they are all below 500 calories and take less than 1.5 minutes to cook.

I was sent a few sandwiches so I could try them out. For my selection I received the following:

- Flame Grilled Quarter Pounder

- Chicken & Chorizo Baguette

and

- Whole Breast Sweet & Smokey BBQ Chicken.

This last one was my favourite.

Let’s take a closer look at it.

Taste Inc. sandwiches come in a plastic container, so they are protected against squishing and any deformation. The packaging contains all relevant information about the product inside of it: cooking instructions, serving suggestions, ingredients, nutrition information as well as storage guidelines, allergy advice and use by date.

The Whole Breast Sweet & Smokey BBQ Chicken Sandwich looks awesome on the packaging picture; in reality it looks a bit different 🙁

My sandwich came as bun + meat + BBQ sauce. I can understand why there is no lettuce leaves included but I would prefer the pictures to be reflective of the actual product and not what it could possibly look like.

Anyhow… the idea behind this snack is very simple; open, heat and eat. You can have a warm meal in under two minutes. I had my Whole Breast Sweet & Smokey BBQ Chicken with lettuce and tomato. During 70 seconds it took for my bun and meat to heat up I prepared my salad leaves and sliced the tomato. Then it was just a case of putting my bun together and adding the sauce.

Taste wise, I liked it. It was a really tasty little sandwich.

Would I recommend it?

As a quick fix, yes I would recommend it. Priced just below £2 or at £1 if you are lucky enough to hunt one down on a special offer (Morissons stocks them), they represent a good value for money. Quick warm meal within minutes was never easier. I like the fact that they have 7+ days of “shelf life”, which means that you can just have few of them in the fridge… just in case. I don’t see us eating it every day but I can think of the occasions when they would be very helpful.

Things I didn’t like:

The packaging seems to be none-recyclable, which is a huge minus in my eyes.

In general I like the idea of Taste Inc. products. They are priced below most shop bought sandwiches and with just a little effort on your part you can create a warm snack in no time to suit your stomachs desire and with 12 different products to choose from everyone can pick something for themselves that will like… unless you are a vegetarian that is, if I wasn’t such a carnivore I would probably consider that another huge minus…

Do you buy microwavable snacks?
