No, no labelling at all, just packed in those clear, thin, rectangular plastic tubs, with a click on lid. Outside the shop, on a barrow with lots of other fruit and veg., with a written cardboard label 'Mixed fruit and nuts' £1.50.
Sensibly - the printed Lidl packages, neither has a 'may contain nuts', but they do warn that 'young children might choke on nuts'.
They shouldn?t be giving blow jobs at all.
charles used his keyboard to write :
I would struggle to crack them with the usual style of nut cracker and usually end up breaking at least one nut cracker every year, then I would have to fall back on the Mole grips - so one year I bought an expensive cracker. It offers much more leverage, much more robust, with a packing part which slots in to adjust for the various nut sizes.
Can't you shell them and put them out for the birds (or foxes) ?.
Sainsburys had a selection of little round cheeses in 100gm packs, all coated in some sort of wax (or plastic ??).
Local store knocked them down to 50p post-xmas so I bought one of the 'Farmhouse cheddars', with a blue waxy coating and it was the nicest bit of cheddar I have eaten for ages.
Oval marking on the barcode label said UK/DR 001/EC which seems to be a place down in Dorset.
It would be interesting to see which of the shells the grey squirrels could cope with. But we didn't buy any this year.
I think they're designed to scale-to-demand very quickly and easily. One near work had about 500 self catering student flats open up nearby. Went from a relatively docile well stocked shop to something akin to a carcass regularly stripped to the bone and replenished. It's all quite well managed but too much for me.
As did we for the first time. An excellent decision which will be repeated each Christmas from now on. Anyone visiting who likes turkey wings or legs can bring their own.
And a zoned system. By the tills it says "We are opening till number <n>. Please begin to unload your shopping". In the body of the store there is a different message to call a staff member to the till, "Assistant required at till number <n>." OWTTE.
No handy Lidl to compare.
;-)
Just OOI, do you only eat Turkey at one time of the year?
Because we don't 'do' Xmyth we didn't buy in any special food and just ate what we fancied eating at the time, just like we do all year round? ;-)
Cheers, T i m
p.s. Is it good for the Turkey farmers to have such a (Xmyth focused) sales cycle?
Yes. Just one of those 'traditions'...
The frozen product with its long best before dates means they can even out production across the year with the fresh version coming out of the December batch.
It's not zoned in our local Aldi. The announcements are across the store.
The frequency with which they open and close tills is quite something.
Ok, thanks. I often put it in a stir fry for 'a change'.
Good point. 'Farm fresh frozen Turkey' ;-)
Cheers, T i m
That much nice are available is moot: I dislike them.
Include me out, then. Breast meat I feed to the cat.
Dave Liquorice explained on 06/01/2019 :
As you say, the call for staff and to customers to unload, occur at the same time - so often it is then a long wait at the till until the member of staff arrives.
I've *never* bought a grey squirrel.
T i m submitted this idea :
I eat it all year round and usually opt for turkey, or turkey and a bit of beef when out for a regular carvery. At home we usually opt for beef, gammon, pork or sometimes lamb for the Sunday nosh. Today it is a slow cooked beef joint.
I don't like fat, tough or gristly meat - which never applies to turkey. We have sometimes had turkey escalope, mid week, but not for a while - which has reminded me.
Reds only eh?
Tim Streater pretended :
I only like breast meat in chicken or turkey, the rest goes to the dogs.
