I remember once when I was young and even more stupid than I am now, going to Farmfoods for a weekly shopping because I had been told it was cheap.

Oh dear...... :(

It makes Iceland (the shop, not the country :wink: ) look like a one stop shop for fine dining :shock:

The stand-out thing for me was the minced beef, it turned orange in the pan before any kind of tomato or bolognese sauce was added. Not that I'm suggesting any of these things should be orange, but you get my drift :wink:

Yuck! :(

It is very expensive, it takes alot of time and space, and consumers say it does not taste as good as the wild tuna.



Psh well they'll change their tune when its either that or nothing I'll bet! Anyway, there's plenty of other sushi. I like the eel best anyway, and who's going to miss a few of those horrible things?

The thing is, if you put the words Grocery and Market together, it conjures up an altogether more wholesome image of a shopping experience than the one that Farmfoods currently holds for me.......a big box full of chest freezers :|

It's kind of a corn tortilla with meat inside and then rolled up into a small tube and fried or baked in my case.

Ha! Well... perhaps. :lol: These are sort of like made up treats though. These are mostly a little appetizer type thing I think. They aren't too big or anything, usually about the size of a human finger, or the size of 2-3 inhuman fingers, or 0 inhuman fingers.
