Don’t waste your money on this disgusting rubbish.Bought some tins a while ago as emergency supplies. Tried one tin last night as was in a rush but wanted something hot. These were absolutely foul. Pink/grey shiny balls of pap in a completely tasteless sauce. Would not give these to a dog - in fact I doubt very much a dog would eat this rubbish. Can remember when a tin of meatballs was a treat - on the contrary, eating this was like a punishment. Don’t know what has happened or how they can be allowed to sell this ‘food’. Would give no stars if I could.

DisgustingI used to like these as a quick snack/meal but hadn't had any for some years. I bought two cans [without looking at the reviews first ] to use for a quick lunch and one for a spare.
It was disgusting!! Even the dog spat them out. I will donate the remaining tin to a food bank with sincere apologies to the recipient.

Balls of jellyI thought I would try these as a quick lunchtime meal and I was looking forward to them, but was unpleasantly surprised to find them completely without texture, and a bit like solid balls of luncheon meat, but more slimy and without the flavour.
I would recommend you stay well clear of these.

Truly repulsiveBought because no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Found them to be the most repulsive "food" I have ever had the misfortune to eat. Flaccid, slimy, tasteless gelatinous balls of cat food. Truly, seriously horrible.

DisgustingMaybe there is chicken in there but I wouldn't assume too much about which part. My money is on the brains.

An unpleasant substitutionHad a tin of these substituted for the chicken in white sauce I ordered.
The meatballs are flavourless and the gravy, which seems to be beefy rather than chicken, has an unpleasant chemical taste. The can says the contents are 15% chicken, so not much more than a third as much chicken as the chicken in white sauce.

Written by Jave18th September 2021Yes, I recommend this product

At best horribleIts not just the tin thats changed, contents different, obviously cheaper. My grandchildren now refuse to eat them and I don’t blame them. Only gave one star because I can’t give a minus. Would I recommend to a friend, I wouldn’t recommend for daughters dog.

Bland but not inedibleIf you want something resembling meat with gravy and are not terrible concerned about taste and appearance, this is a convenient source and requires very little preparation. It is undoubtedly bland but is not wholly abhorrent when supplemented with suitable vegetables.
