Tesco's Steak Diane

[NMH]

Beyond stupendous. Magnificent! (and at about £3). Can be put with spagh or rice, or in a wrap (i.e. crepes)

Straight-to-Plate lamb shanks, 2 in Rosemary gravy from Budgens - another WINNAAA.

I don't have a clue what "Steak Diane" is.

Watch BBC1 at 9PM, might put the Tesco shopping experience into perspective, if the clips played on the radio during the day are anything to go by.

 

[Starry]

Nothing is right about Tesco, this programme tonight aside (I mean, apart from this not because of it), they are a horrid company.

Support your local grocer, butcher, dairy and get much better quality foods and service.

Watching TV now.
not sure I fancy supermarket shopping for meat or fish any more
Local shops should mean smaller carbon footprint shouldnt it?

Morrisons do some great readymeals, some are only a pound.

 

[empire]

any ready meal is clearly wrong,sure most can russle something better,trained or not.

I have managed to cut Tesco out of our life entirely. I was excited to see that the children's school has chosen to opt out of their 'computer for schools' promotion as well.

I am just about rid of Sainsburys but until I can solve the wiping bottom problem without using toilet tissue I am stuck there. Everything else comes from independent shops, is often cheaper and always tastes nicer.

Haven't had a processed dinner in about four years, I make our dinners and intentionally make an extra portion or two to freeze that i can pull out on the nights I would have a ready dinner.

Ready meals are the food of the devil...

And the Whistleblower prog will cause some problems for the supermarket giants.

 

[dougdeep]

Use by dates are just a guess anyway, fishmongers go by the smell too, trust me.

It's a shame it takes this, the Andover branch of Tesco has a rat problem in the bakery. Something they are very aware of, and say they have under control, yet it's been ongoing for about five months now (eighteen months according to some) The shop was built on a water works and the entire area is full of rats.

I can't understand why anyone shops there.

I can't understand why anyone shops there.

Some people don't have a choice.

Some people don't want to make a choice.

I now fully understand why stuff I buy from Tesco always goes bad before its Use By date.

Apart from my local baker there's not much left to support where I live Starry, I can only think of one fishmonger within a 10 mile radius and there's not much in the way of butchers or greengrocers either.

It's not exactly rocket science cooking dinner from basic ingredients, Half the trouble these days is people just can't be arsed.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

I try and get most things from Taj and get the 'toiletries' from the poundsaver shop. Fishmongers on the seafront, but I haven't found a decent independant booze shop in walking distance.

That's really sad
I am very fortunate, we are surrounded by farms who grow/slaughter all sorts of veggies, meats and there is a dairy. I struggle a little for fish because we are not near the coast but sometimes a local farm comes through.
