Flavour

A proper spread of seventeen recipes, and most of them land in our Excellent band, with the Lamb Hotpot a step up in Outstanding. The meat is named and quantified on every tin, from venison and wild boar to herring and pheasant. The Mighty Burrito Bowl, a vegan recipe, sits well below in Average.

Our view

Likely to suit

Rotation feeders, since one house style runs across the shelf
Dogs that need the animal named; every species carries a percentage
A break from poultry, with venison, wild boar and lamb on offer
Households cooking without meat. The Burrito Bowl is a full vegan recipe
Every build, with 150g and 400g tins

Worth watching

Grain in Pasta Al Ragu, Beef Goulash, Lamb Tagine and the Casserole, and cheese in the Ragu
Poultry and fish together in Fishy Fish Pie and Fish and Chips
Energy varies a lot between tins, so re-weigh portions when you switch recipe

17 recipes across Outstanding and Excellent and Average. Typical wet food: Excellent.

A typical Lily's tin is a solidly good wet food; the Lamb Hotpot steps above the rest, and the vegan bowl reads lower mainly because its label stops before ash.

A full vegan recipe, doing a real job for the households that want one.

Most of the seventeen follow one house recipe. A named animal, or two or three, sits between 50% and 65%, with a handful of vegetables and fruit at low single figures, then the Lily's tail of herbs and botanicals at trace level. Animals are named by species almost everywhere, often with a preparation too.

Starch is where they separate. Several tins keep to potatoes, while Lamb Tagine, Beef Goulash, the Chicken and Turkey Casserole and Pasta Al Ragu carry grain. Energy runs from 81 to 137 kcal per 100g, and the Mighty Burrito Bowl swaps the animal out entirely.
