Title: Product review : Sharwood's Saag Aloo
Post by: Peripatetic Phil on September 15, 2012, 05:03 PM

Manufacturer's description : "Potato chunks with spinach and tomatoes in a mildly aromatic spiced sauce".

Reality : overcooked pieces of potato in off-colour spinach that has been pureed to death, flavoured with raw cumin.

Verdict : Absolutely disgusting -- I ate three pieces of potato and binned the rest.  Sharwood's do not even have the confidence to offer the normal "We hope you enjoy this product; if it fails to please in any way, please return it to ...", otherwise it would have landed on their doorstep on Monday morning.

Haven't eaten anything by Sharwood's that is remotely palatable.

Same here, they are awful products.

Their mango chutney is quite palatable but their curry stuff is pants.

And their popadoms, but agree about all the other products except the mango chutney :)
