Review:
This review is really no easy thing for me cause i don't know what to say the first time. Neither was the meal good nor really bad. It was just kind of one homogenous bulk that didnt change the taste no matter if i had a mushroom, some meat or just only noodles on my fork. the sauce smelled good but tasted and felt pretty like salted jelly. After spicing it up with loads of pepper it was acceptable. i still cant say if it was just ok or totally terrible. i have eaten worse microwave oven food in my life, but with "Züricher Geschnetzeltes" its hard not to compare the taste with an original cooked one. I am sorry, but I can't describe it with other words than, it sucked compared to an original Geschnetzeltes.

The noodles, so called "Spätzle", were a bad joke, they looked like little not well cooked dough-beans and had no own taste. Real-Deal-Spätzle can be even eaten without sauce, so great do they taste on their own, but this was a Spätzle Fiasko, no comparison at all. the consistence of the noodles was the same like the rest of this meal, jiggly jellyness.

the meat was ok, but flavourless like the rest.

10minute cooking time is pretty much for a microwave oven meal as well, just take the awesome Trattoria Alfredo Bolognese, fresh taste in just 4 minutes...

450g of food gives it at least 4 chefs at the portion size rank.

at least the packaging is not lying this time,
it praises the "steam-vent" and that "the foil is easy to remove" as the product's biggest benefits. actually that should have raised my suspicion...

Side effects:
I miss the "Züricher Geschnetzeltes" my mother is cooking.

Would I buy it again?
no.
