ready-made foods

[Verona_82]

Hello,

My colleagues and I couldn't reach agreement on what convenience/ready-made foods are. Can we consider frozen chicken legs/fish fillet/rump steaks etc to be convnience foods? I don't think so, as all these foodstuffs take certain time to be cooked unlike chicken nuggets, fish fingers or frozen pancakes that can be simply heated.
I'd be grateful for comments.

Thank you!

You are on the right track. It may be very difficult to define such foods but generally they are foods that take little if any preperation. A frozen chicken is just an uncooked chicken in another form - it still has to be cooked. To my mind a bakery product taken from a store is the ultimate in fast foods - open and eat.
