4 Seasons Tyrolean-style Pork with Forest Mushrooms Review

A Promising Instant Meal Marred by Mushrooms

summarizeEditor's Summary

I tried the 4 Seasons brand's Tyrolean-style Pork with Forest Mushrooms, and while it had potential, the mushroom content was a total letdown. The dish was super filling, but I'd have liked more meat. The meat was tender, but it was overpowered by the mushrooms. The combination of flavors was interesting, but the overall taste was just okay. I was expecting a lot more from this product. The 4 Seasons brand has some great instant meals, but this one just didn't cut it for me. I'd recommend checking out their other options.

Ingredients:

Macaroni (wheat, water), pork, forest mushrooms (chanterelles), tomatoes, onion, vegetable oil, dried milk, water, spices, salt, natural flavorings.

Ingredients-wise, it's a decent mix – all natural and no artificial additives. I'm a bit disappointed by the choice of forest mushrooms, though. They're chanterelles, which aren't exactly my cup of tea. I would've preferred button mushrooms instead.

When you thaw the dish, you can see a generous amount of mushrooms, some pork, and chopped veggies like tomatoes and onions. The pasta is the main component, though.

I was blown away by how easy it was to prepare – just 12-14 minutes in the microwave or 10-12 minutes on the stovetop. I always go for the stovetop, and honestly, it tastes better that way.

The aroma of mushrooms during cooking was intense – not exactly pleasant.

xa0

After cooking, we ended up with a dish with a rich, intense sauce. The noodles had a great texture, almost al dente.

xa0

The pork was relatively tender, with a good balance of spices, but there wasn't enough of it – I could've used more meat.

xa0

The mushrooms, however, were a major letdown – I tried one, just to be polite, but they're such a contentious ingredient in this dish that they completely ruined my appetite. Sorry, but they're just plain flavorless.

xa0

Overall, if it weren't for the mushrooms, the dish was actually pretty good and flavorful. All the ingredients (except for those awful mushrooms, of course) worked well together, and the seasoning was spot on.

xa0

I'm still recommending this dish despite the three-star rating. Why? Because if you swap out the bland mushrooms for something crispy and appetizing, and add a bit more pork, you've got a pretty decent and incredibly filling meal that requires minimal cooking. Is a 10-minute dinner not the ultimate happiness?

Thanks to all who took the time to read this review!

Cheerio, and bon appétit ♡
