What a Summer we can expect here in Britain in 2012 with a host of patriotic events to keep the sun shining.  And to celebrate McCain Foods are launching limited edition McCain British Mature Cheddar & Red Onion Wedges which are just perfect for sharing.

McCain Foods is using unique technology to arouse the senses of people across the UK to demonstrate just how delicious new McCain Ready Baked Jackets really are.  McCain Ready Baked Jackets are the biggest McCain launch since McCain Oven Chips revolutionised the chip market in 1979, and combine the much loved taste and smell of slow oven-baked jacket potatoes but are ready to eat from frozen in just five minutes.

There’s nothing quite like the smell and taste of a slow oven-baked jacket potato, but the downside is waiting ages for it to cook. The rush of family life means we sometimes need meals to be ready in minutes, so getting dinner on the table quickly takes priority as hungry mouths just won’t wait.
