Chicken is labelled 'High Welfare' but I don't know what that means. My main concern is that the meat is not organic. We did eat them so they weren't that bad. We have now enjoyed 4 boxes and found only a couple of recipes that we didn't particularly like. The box of food is very well insulated with recycled wool to keep meat etc sufficiently cold. Hello Fresh does not allow choice of delivery day, it depends where you live so for us it is Tuesday. One chooses the meals one wants out of a range of around 8. There is no opportunity to opt out of pork but you can register for vegetarian only meals. We also said that we didn't want any fish or shellfish (has to be both). We specified 3 meals for 2 people as the basis of our subscription (thinking we would be cancelling on receipt of the free stuff). We gave out our own vouchers in turn, in fact we got five vouchers in all, the additional vouchers as compensation for a burst container of turmeric that had distributed itself across everything in it package. We received such a voucher from a friend and I am certain that we would not have tested the company otherwise. On joining Hello Fresh you receive three vouchers that you can pass to friends so they can claim a free introductory box.
All of that is clearly stated across the websites but reading the customer comments on Trust Pilot and Facebook a lot of people overlook the requirement and so end up with fools they didn't want. I'm assuming that Gousto is UK only on the basis of a quick glance through their website.Įach of the companies enrols customers to a subscription so you need to be proactive and cancel any weeks you don't want delivery. I know that Hello Fresh is available in the US and Canada, Australia and some European countries. The main players appear to be Hello Fresh and Gousto unless you live in the London area where choice multiplies significantly. I note that a number of members have tried Blue Apron, that isn't available to us in the UK. Not there yet but I've allowed myself a short visit this afternoon nonetheless.Īnd so to 'recipe boxes'. I had read a lot of this thread before my self-imposed ban on accessing eGullet to concentrate on work and get rid of my backlog. Host's note: this discussion is split from the NYTimes Articles on Food, Drink, Culinary Culture 2013 - topic.
