with the £1 offer they're doing at the moment you've got to wonder just how bad is the food being sold?

agree with galt. Might not be the best but if you have a lot of peopel to feed on very little money then you gotta do what you gotta do

propbably got a bit of water and maltodextrin in it making it not quite as good a value as it seems but still

I've never been to Iceland as Kerry Katona has a restraining order against me.

Isn't that the point for Christmas food though? I'm looking forward to eating crap for a week for a change! :mrgreen: And it makes it all the better when you clean it up again because you are ready for it.

Yeah but thats all thats on offer all the year isn't it? Crap food, so really it doesn't make a change at all.
