Default For the BC canadians!

Superstore has shepherd's pie with mashed cauliflower topping instead of mashed potatoes! ITS TO DIE FOR! And decently low carb! I have been eating it way too often with larger helpings then any decent being should be eating and I haven't gained on it!

It does have a bit of corn in it, but not enough to do damage, apparently.

Still maintaining, btw! I weighed 133 this morning. I love low carb!

Look for it in the frozen prepared food section, it's under the blue menu label.

OK...I went to the Stupidstore out in Langford. It wasn't in the Shepherd's pie section...but next to the pizzas. (dumb)

Just finished heating it up and.....

I have to say the cauliflower topping is VERY much like mashed potato. I was surprised.

However, (IMO) the meat part tasted like dog food (meaty smelling/tasting) and was highly salted to the point where my tongue is still feeling funny from the salt.
I suppose you could add your own flavouring like pepper or hot sauce...

Probably something useful to keep in your freezer to eat in a pinch.

Considering they were trying to make it low carb with the cauliflower, I don't know why they added corn?

Two out of five stars!

OK...that's just my opinion. Somebody else try it!

I threw the rest of it out. I tried heating it up again and the smell made me ill.

Thanks for being our guinea pig on this one Steph! I'm with Julie, too much salt spoils anything and I used to almost gag on the smell of canned dog foods and cat foods. I could never figure out why the animals liked it!

Most likely Presidents Choice, possibly one of their blue menu items.
