Surely if you've got an allergy to reading anything but English , you should avoid

 

All supermarkets mess up sometimes, so I don't understand why Aldi and LIDL have to be picture perfect.

Remember when Mars Bar showed up a piece of cardboard for one of its ingredients? That happened in the '90's. Bet you all still eat it! Remember when Tesco sold horse meat burgers? Bet some of you still buy your burgers for your BBQs from there. They recalled and improved, so will these German cheapskate superstores. No big deal. No one has died after eating any of their products so no need to panic or sling mud at them with such conviction against them. They're alright.

 

"Lidl's packs of Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts do not declare they contain the allergens milk and chocolate in English."

What?

 

I think it's just the other way of saying that the main ingredients must be declared in English or the idiot buyers may think that the milk chocolate with nuts (which it does say on the wrapper; IN ENGLISH) is made of soya milk and some artificial hazelnuts and therefore suitable for milk and nuts allergy sufferers too.

 

Nuts , old hazelnuts ..!

Iv not seen an artificial hazelnut.?

 

They're so convincing, you just think you haven't........

 

To be honest with you, I haven't, ether.

I wasn' talking about you or me but about those presumed idiot buyers who may have invented fake/artificial hazelnut in their heads; e.g. cheating ham, cheating this and cheating that etc. LIDL would have withdrawn the milk chocolate in such fantastically* idiots' favour LIDL would have withdrawn those products.

* I've been influenced to use this 'fantastically' term by mister Cameron who used it to the Queen; to describe some corrupt most countries. I'm sure he's also one of them who complained against the LIDL chocolate.

Clarification: I'm not unsympathetic to the allergy sufferers. I'm just unsympathetic to the ones who can't understand the obvious; like Jack pointed out, and expect the milk and hazelnut chocolate to further clarify that it's allergic to the milk and nuts allergy bearing people.

 

Forget it, Geezer. He's just nuts!

LOL only joshing, me dearest Duncan!

 

#...Ooh! Cadbury's take 'em
And they cover them in chocolate! #

RIP Frank Muir.

 

Its like having peanut butter with the message 'may contain nuts' its just for the hard of thinking

 

He's dead as well you know

 

Who, Frank Muir?

If so, yeah I know - hence the "RIP Frank Muir" at the foot of my post.

 

I'm sure Frank Muir didn't die of eating LIDL chocolate with hazelnuts in it. Non issue, Duncan. FAIL.

 

Ahh Frank Muir, on Call my Bluff - great stuff

Along with Robert Roberston and "Ask the Familly"

 

"Ah, would that it were, would that it were." . . . Love Fry and Jupiters when they do that impression on QI.

And NTNON's classic spoof of the show.

 

Call my bluff was awesome with those guys , I know we have the modern versions but it's a bit slap dash in comparison.

Anyways, I'll go to Aldi today to get some fruit as I've run out of them.

One complain: I've consumed 3 water melons from there by now, over the last 3 weeks. First one was not sweet enough, second one was sweet as honey with mature, crunch worthy seeds but third one was; although it was sweet, the seeds were not mature enough to be enjoyed as the pleasant interference. They came in a way instead, which p7ssed me off. They were so tiny that you couldn't de-seed the fruit either. So I may skip the water melon today. Third experience has left an obnoxious taste in my mouth.

 

But that would be the same Wetherby it was bought in tesco etc....

 

Yes, that's why I didn't say that I'd go to Tesco or Marks to get a better one. Marks didn't even stock it, last time I checked.

Mind you, although they can't cut open a whole water melon, in order to ensure its good quality, the consistency is quality still depends on the quality and the care the farmer provides. So, there's a possibility that Tesco may stock water melons from better farmers where the crop is taken care of; right from the very original bed seed.

 

By the way, I don't know where these supermarkets get their water melons from. I really do like them, so I'll keep taking my chances with them. If not this time, maybe next time. Like mangoes, they're grown in abundance in India, so I'm a fan of their lovely taste. I mean, when they turn out to be sweet and well-seeded.

 

Any excuse to post this classic:

 

Next thing you'll be telling me is that they've found beef in their horseburgers

Supermarket=Random shyte in your food.

Simples

 

I miss the horse burgers, they were bloody good.

No ready meals for Lidl and Aldi!! They're all made in the same factory right??

 

I don't get it. The news says that M&S workers will be on strike. So what. Where does the news dispute that they don't make the ready meals for Aldi/LIDL in the same factory? I do apologise if I ignored something while scanning through that article. Easily done when you're multi-tasking.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if they don't make Aldi/LIDL ready meals in the same factory. All and any ready meals from any supermarket are mass-produced, low nutritional value shyte imo. You can never guarantee who put their dirty finger in your lasagne, may it be Marks or flipping Harrods! Make your own from the scratch fresh, if you're that posh.

 

People on this thread believe that all supermarket food is the same. I even ate some cardboard digestives to find proof.

 

The daft management obviously signed up to just supply M and S , this is what happened to factory I worked at in the eighties, And then M and S pulled the plug , went some where else. ( got a grand pay off, even though I'd only been there 6 months)
Before that the company supplied several super markets , diff packaging

 

Lidl ready meals seem be way superior to Morrison's btw
