Yes, I think the way they force the baby haggi into little tubes so they grow cylindrically to fit into the tins is a bit cruel.


They gave up on free range farming of Haggis when it was discovered that
they were cannibalistic.

Nothing wrong with a good battered haggis.

Or a battered black pudding.

Just realised how much I shall miss Scottish chip shops if I move back to England.

I'm failing to think of anything which would make me buy one tin of haggis.

Isn't the SNP about to pass legislation banning the hunting of Haggis?

I thought the only exercise scots got was chasing a haggis around the mountains.
Then they deep fry it.

That's just straight theft.

Seeking out the freshest goods and paying the asking price is common sense.

True, but I also look for BOGOF and similar deals rather than just

Plus I get those annoying vouchers through the post that are sometimes worth looking at, which give you a discount or added reward points.

You can still get the freshest BOGOFs with your discount vouchers.

I think the delivery pickers take all the oldest stuff.

Be aware that BOGOF deals are usually paid for by the supplier, not the
supermarket. The supplier generally has little say in it, apart
from when their continuous manufacturing operation is out of kilter
with what the public is buying.

I'm not sure why dates are printed on tins.Â* How did we survive before
the dates were printed?Â* I've used countless tins that were well past
the printed date, and never noticed a difference in the quality of the
contents, or spent the next few days 'squatting'.

Meaty stuff can last well, but tinned fruit or veg should not be
consumed too long after the use-by date because the acids in the
contents can etch the container. I assume this is why the tins
of peaches etc seem to have a white plastic lining of some sort.

Botulism is rather nasty remember. There was a story once about
a chap admitted to A&E and was unable to communicate. Once Botulism
was suspected the staff has the foresight to ask the police to go
round to his house and see if his wife had eaten any of the same.

My worst one wasn't a specific item.

Some years ago, SWMBO was giving a paper at a conference in Sydney. The
plan was to meet up in Vancouver after her conference (I have relatives
there), as she had a round-the-world ticket. I had examiners' meetings
booked so I couldn't go with her.

An exams officer cocked up a load of marks and it all had to be
postponed. So I managed to change my return ticket to Vancouver so I went
via Sydney, phoned her guest house so that they could make up some story
about moving her to a double room because of overbooking (they were quite
convincing apparently), and off I went.

I travel light anyway (I wear mostly Rohan gear), and there were things I
didn't need to duplicate in my own luggage. So my suitcase was about
10kg. Arrived at Heathrow, and it was immediately diverted for a security
scan. I got a detailed one too.

On arrival at Sydney, I was pulled aside for an 'interview' and my
luggage was searched *very* thoroughly. The perils of travelling light.

I don't think they do any more. Probably too many people were finding
problems like we did - order food for a week and find that everything
had to be used within 3 days! We stopped using home delivery or click
and collect for quite a while because of it.

There seems to be a much better product life now, but whether they are
just picking randomly or deliberately picking fresher products, I don't
know.

Even with click and collect, they warn (Tesco) if some items only have
a short life remaining, before you take them.

Although not sure where they get the
stuff from - a local store, or a central warehouse where you'd assume most
things are 'fresher' than in the stores?

Some from the back of the store before it goes out to the shelves and
some from the shelves, if they are similar to our various local stores.

I think the delivery pickers take all the oldest stuff.

I'd be most surprised if they didn't.

I don't think they do any more. Probably too many people were finding
problems like we did - order food for a week and find that everything
had to be used within 3 days! We stopped using home delivery or click
and collect for quite a while because of it.

Ocado product life seems excellent, probably because of the shorter
supply chain.

Tesco seems fine these days. It was just in the early days of home
delivery and click and collect that there seemed to be problems.
