Foods from Glebe Meat Market

Very disappointed in the prepared food from Glebe Meat Market. Last time I was here I noticed they had house made prepared foods in the freezer so I picked up a small meat loaf and turkey pot pie to have in my inventory for a night when I didn't feel like cooking. I'm not sure why I bought the prepared meatloaf, since they are so easy to make, but I would not go for it again. It was very bland and tasteless, also incredibly dry (too many bread crumbs?). I've had the meatloaf from Red Apron, which is infinitely superior if you want something prepared, but if you're at Glebe meat market my advice is to skip their version, and just buy some ground beef and make your own.
The turkey pot pie looked like it had nice pastry on top, but after digging in, the crust was not crisp, and in fact the whole thing had a quite unpleasant gummy texture. The turkey was nice and moist, but there was precious little baked into the pie. The biggest disappointment was that the vegetables appeared to be from a bag of frozen mixed veg.,with tiny cubes of carrot and shrivelled green peas, and not many of them either. The pie contained mostly soupy gravy and when I complained to my other half about the frozen carrot cube, he said "at least you got one", which is an indication of the scarcity of good things inside this pie.
