    Nice one OP. We had ours today. I was sceptical about the advertised meal kit for 4 people. 2 of us loved it and struggled to put a dent in it. Loads leftover for lunches. It's a fantastic deal. The only negative for us was the wraps were a bit small. Some of yiz may prefer to pick up your own wraps.

    I hear you can get them in Tesco.

    Made mine this evening, rice was so good, same with the chicken. Definitely a steal at the price really

    100% biggest disappointment was the wraps being too small - chicken and other ingredients were very good and all came chilled & wrapped/insulated very well.

    Nice to hear people liked these. The meat comes from the main warehouse and not the restaurants so not sure on how fresh it is, but the value is there

    If it was advertised as a burrito kit then I'd 100% agree but these are what you'd get if you asked for fajitas from boojum

    Had ours last night and agreed with all above, great taste, wraps a bit small. Only issue was an exploded green pepper, could probably go inside the sheep wool for better protection.

    We had it last night also, found the chicken very tasty. Takes around 15/20 mins tops to get on the plate. Chop the veg, sear the chicken and stick in the oven, then stir fry the veg and heat the rice. There is loads left over for burrito type bowls for lunch today also. For just over €17, it was good value - saved a trip to the shops, and the ease of putting it all together was great (plus it tasted a lot better than any Old El Paso kit I've tried).

    Hi,

    Is this for pickup only? On the site (https://shop.boojummex.com/) I see delivery only for UK and NI.
    ATHOME40 doesn't work either, has it expired?
    Thanks,
    Pa.

    Same here - just finished doing the dishes after having ours. It was really nice and there's loads left for tomorrow. The box was marked use by the 4th.

    The peppers and onion were very good quality - you don't find produce like that in Tesco! ;)

    I'd say get onto Boojum, they might send out a new one if it's not there tomorrow.

    Thanks OP, ours arrived, we added extra veg and there was loads of food for four people. Going to add chicken, wraps and cheese and make dinner tomorrow with the leftovers. Great bargain

    Loads of food.

    great deal alright but a Greta Thunberg nightmare in terms of waste. Delivered in a large cardboard box, everything sealed in individual plastic wrappers and containers, wool wrapped in plastic for insulation. A huge amount of waste generated even though it was a nice meal.

    This is hardly a sustainable model for the future. At least with a takeaway most of the containers are recyclable cardboard. Anyway, maybe I should head on over to the green party forum.

    Getting the chicken delivered this afternoon, anything I should pick up in the shop at lunchtime to go with it apart from wraps? Thanks!

    I made Guac to go with and it worked well.

    Thanks OP. Fed 5 comfortably (One Veggie). Made a couple of wraps and bowl and still had some waste.

    Super bargain at that price. Reasonable value at full price.

    Not entirely confident that my delivery is going to arrive today. When I placed the order I asked it to be delivered today.

    I presume if it doesn't arrive today it won't be edible and a case of getting a refund but finger crossed. :)

    the big box and the insulation were good in terms of green-ness but everything vacuum packed not so much. Better than the rigid plastic containers most of these kits use I would say and I would guess needed to give it the 2 day shelf life?
