Re: Steak Pie!
My husband's first job when he left school was making chicken pies for farm fresh pies now let's just say he had a food problems before he worked there, but after he had been there a week his food habits really went out of control and he has never eaten anything not made at home since, when he tells me what went on there it put me off eating anything factory made too.Re: Steak Pie!
The claims they make are ludicrous at times - should get one from M&S, may cost a bit more, although don't know the price of the one you bought, but at least there's meat in and they don't taste too bad.Re: Steak Pie!
Contents never match the photos Steve. I always buy ready made meals (sometimes I just can't be bothered cooking from scratch and some of them are ok) but when you get it out of the box you think 'what the heck is this? Is this for someone who has lost their appetite?'Re: Steak Pie!
You'll probably get a voucher or something and a standard apology if you're lucky. Suggesting they actually have a pastry chef is a laugh - more like a factory full of drones who watch a machine slop the goo into the pastry cases. Good letter though, but don't hold your breath.Re: Steak Pie!
I very rarely buy ready meals. Having lived in my younger days not too far from a village where there was a chicken factory and talking to a buyer for Heinz one day, I have never touched canned chicken soup from that day to this. Also seeing almost every day the people who worked at this chicken factory, ( they used to stop the bus that fetched them at my auntīs little shop,) the smell of the workers you would not believe and knowing how the chickens, or hens, were treated would truly make you cry. Also watching TV documentaries on how they make these chicken nuggets, crab sticks, etc, actually made me feel ill, bones scraped and turned into a glutinous mass with a bit of colouring and flavouring thrown in before being shaped into whatever they were producing, absolutely disgusting. I donīt buy, or eat, as far as I am aware, tinned meat or frozen ready meals. I like to see what I am eating. I have only ever eaten one beefburger in my life, well tasted really, I donīt like the thought of any kind of compressed meats, I donīt know whatīs compressed in there with it. Am I a fussy eater? You bet your life I am.Re: Steak Pie!
Like the Newspapers, you get what you pay for type thing, I cant believe that you expected the contents to actually LOOK like the photo, far less TASTE like they say? Newspapers make a story look interesting to sell the paper, Manufacturers make their good's en masse, BUT the photo will take days of setting up to make the contents look the part, after all they would not sell much if they showed what you describe, I really find it surprising that you have even bothered complaining? as some say they may send you a voucher for a REPLACEMENT.
