We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Utter cock. Lidl f&v is the freshest, the meal portions are fine and
packaging is ok.

I'm guessing it's fresh because it goes straight on to the shelves
without any intermediate storage/refrigeration, and that kind of
presentation isn't acceptable in the bigger supermarkets.
They had no oranges last time I was there. I took that to mean it was a
bad time for oranges, borne out by those I subsequently bought from
Sainsburys, which were expensive, and truly awful.
