Pea and what?!

Today's lunch came in the canned form from Tesco, pea and ham. The ingredients seem to sound healthy, not too many additives or fake mystery meat sources. In fact the can contained real smoked pork! Well a little... I was sold! And at 45p how could I not try this.



Ingredients:Water, Peas (35%) (Petit Pois, Garden Peas, Marrowfat Peas), Onion, Smoked Ham (3%), Modified Maize Starch, Pea Flour, Salt, Yeast Extract, Sugar, Leek Powder, Onion Powder, Garlic Powder, White Pepper, Flavouring (Celery), Milk Sugar, Colour (Mixed Carotenes), Smoked Ham contains: Pork, Water, Salt, Milk Proteins, Milk Sugar, Milk Mineral Concentrate, Preservative (Sodium Nitrite), Stabiliser (Sodium Triphosphate)


The verdict: 
Being that lunch is the most important time of the day, I was hugely disappointing and left to hunt down a substitute, this being a handful of soft cashew nuts.
The soup at first looked appetising, a nice shade of green, like the colour of a 70's bathroom, but when I went in for a mouthful, the different varieties of peas on offer looked slightly grey. This was then confirmed by the taste, which I can only describe as being 'gone off'. To top this off, the ham, oh the ham, this is not ham this is weird tasting rubbery pink bits, if I could compare it to something I would say it resembled dog treats, but even then I wouldn't give this to my dog.
How can soup in a can taste gone off?! How can peas taste gone off?! To put it bluntly it was disgusting, I would never recommend this soup, nor would I buy a can and give it to a donate your extra food charity. Sorry Tesco, try again.

Souper rating: -5 out of 5 - It not only ruined my day, but possibly my internal organs.
