Aren't they buying in ovens to just bake par-baked frozen bread products? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to try getting banned for "sassing" a moderator. "Sassing" for crying out loud,made it sound like something from a 50s themed gay musical He’s never been abusive to me. ( Actually thinking about it he has, but water of a ducks back etc). It’s just the manner he conducts himself on here. It’s not conducive to a fair exchange of views which surely is what this forum should be about. OK disagree with someone, have a bit of banter, take it as far as you can maybe, but don’t cross the line. He has shown he can’t learn. ( and this is from one who got sanctioned for a minor disagreement with another member from a previous moderator , the one who is an expert in every field) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a shame, but perhaps an outlet through a major retailer isn’t the best route to market anyway. There are some great local products, Dragon sausages for one. But if they don't meet the standards then they can only go through retailers whose standards aren't so high. I am happy to buy sausages, for example, that aren't prepacked from a local bucher. I would not be so happy buying them through a large retailer when they are poorly packed as they will not have the same 'eye for detail' of their stock relying on the standards they require to quality assure. That is not calling it as I will, but recognising the possible reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of them of a similar colour and smell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nothing to do with their standards that's just a smokescreen, enjoy your horse meat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The horsemeat debate is somewhat old, is it not? So, are you saying Tesco won't accept Manx produce because they want to peddle Dobbin? Can you explain why Shoprite sprinkled their near out of date meat with marinade and repackage it? The only reason I can think of is to mask the meat. Why would you take a fillet steak and coat it with, say, a garlic and herb coating other than to create a smokescreen in the quality you are offering? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well as long as it’s edible and not a hazard to your health why not? I like garlic and herb coatings, saves me having to do it myself although a touch of chilli wouldn’t come amiss There’s enough people moaning about good food being thrown away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like garlic and herb coatings, saves me having to do it myself although a touch of chilli wouldn’t come amiss There’s enough people moaning about good food being thrown away Absolutely agree. However, I like to see what I am buying, particularly when it has been repackaged, coated and offered on a discount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A fool and his money..... Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 I agree with Finlo to an extent. Tesco will do whatever suits them, they probably make more profit on cheap imported meat which is why they sell it. Standards are just corporate bollocks - as he says, if they don't even sell the correct species then their standards can't be particularly high. What is high is their profits, and that's the reason they do anything, despite what they tell you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
