Last cold meat I bought in one was some Bresaola, in Italy. The packaging
had more flavour.

and where else do you go when the craving for a tin of herrings in
mustard and parsley sauce hits?

I can honestly say it never has - although SWMBO's scandi half is rather
partial to dill sill, so the Swedish embassy supplies that portion of her
diet (in glass jars), rather than the German embassy.

and the store's always full of knuckle-dragging wuckfits.

That might improve as they are now paid the living wage.

Aldidl are only paying a relatively small minority of the knuckle-
dragging wuckfits.
