maybe there is a word somewhere else on the package that says – this meal has been pureed within an inch of its life, sorry it Germany, a mm of its life.

Having perused the rest of these images, I don’t know which is more disturbing: the lies the packaging tells, the contents of these packages, (beetroot and herring salad? argh!) or the fact that there is a market for these products at all. It is no surprise German restaurants are thin on the ground in Australia.

@Richard: Yeah I probably should have used a dictionary or Google Translate. I saw a word starting with "k" and an orange purée and thought "carrot". Silly me.

‘Kartoffel’ means ‘potato’, so in this context ‘Kartoffelpuree’ = mashed potatoes. Your original point remains valid, of course.

@Snif: According to the ever-accurate Google Translate, it's "Anregung dienen". Still, I don't see how you can make that attractive-looking plate of hake out of the three puddles of sludge on the right without adding in all of the required ingredients yourself.

What’s German for “serving suggestion”?
