JohnnyFartPants Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 How many slices of haslet did you purchase, and what was the cost? I purchased four medium/thick slices at a cost of 36p. Usually I have medium sliced and that was only 27p. I will see whether the extra thickness is of benefit to my sandwich. It was sold per 100g and I had 190 grams which cost 76p. There doesn't seem to be a thickness option as it was all pre cut. I had 6 slices.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 My haslet was cut from the loaf to order. Do you think I have missed out here and should I complain?

I for one am fascinated to know how this is going to turn out.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Please let everyone know. I for one am fascinated to know how this is going to turn out. I had three medium slices stuck together in one sandwich and can confirm it was a Haslet rush taste sensation.
bridge too far Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Do you think I have missed out here and should I complain? Did you get yours from Tesco? If so, that could explain why it was pre-sliced and vacuum packed with water and salt (probably). If Bungle made his purchase in Waitrose he would have availed himself of the middle-class option to have it sliced off the loaf.
Deppo Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Where's Bungle? I can barely live with this suspense...

So in essense you are saying I had run of the mill mass catering rubbish while Bungle went private?
bridge too far Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 So in essense you are saying I had run of the mill mass catering rubbish while Bungle went private? Probably - and paid for out of my NI contributions no doubt.
Scudamore Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 So in essense you are saying I had run of the mill mass catering rubbish while Bungle went private? When to act like a snob and when not to is always on BTF's mind...
JohnnyFartPants Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Probably - and paid for out of my NI contributions no doubt. Are you suggesting I am on benefits here? Actually I am not and have never claimed one but surely someone as lefty as yourself would not begrudge someone for it anyway?
bungle Posted 5 March, 2009 Author Posted 5 March, 2009 Hello people of t'interweb. It appears people have many questions of me. I have only just now eaten my lunch. 1) Yes, JFP you have missed out. Was it pre-sliced and off a deli counter or did you buy a packet? 2) I purchased my haslet from Sainsbury's 3) I had a gander in Waitrose (Bath) and it did not appear that they had any haslet. 4) The extra thickness of my haslet did not significantly improve the quality of my roll. 5) In my moll (harvest grain/granary style) I also had a slice of tomato and a small amount of wholegrain mustard. 6) I have claimed a benefit in the past.
bridge too far Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 When to act like a snob and when not to is always on BTF's mind... Since I never (to my knowledge) act like a snob, it is never on my mind TBH. I am, however, very judgemental about the truth about food, particularly haslet. It hasn't escaped my attention that Tesco meat is allegedly often full of water and salt whereas Waitrose food tends to be more condusive to better eating. You may call this middle class. I call it getting value for money.

When yesterday you were running around creating like Citizen "Wolfie" Smith about the NHS and yet today you (wrongly) look down on someone you suspected of being on benefits, then yes, you are a snob.

It was off the deli counter in ASDA. I am not sure if they slice it or it comes that way prepared.
bungle Posted 5 March, 2009 Author Posted 5 March, 2009 It was off the deli counter in ASDA. I am not sure if they slice it or it comes that way prepared. In Sainsbury's the whole loaf is on the counter and they slice it for you. When you are next in ASDA I think you should ask why it is already sliced. I have to say I have not a big fan of ASDA food and would generally try and avoid shopping there.

It just happens to be my local supermarket and as I cook most things from fresh it really doesn't matter which one I go to. I could understand it if someone bought a lot of packaged foods as the cheaper end of the market supermarkets like ASDA and Tesco do have some suspect own label foods, but that rubbish never gets in my trolley.

Doh, I didn't put the 'tongue in cheek' smiley thingy in, did I. I was tying it in to the comment about the mistaken notion of the NI paying for the NHS on the healthcare thread. I don't look down on anyone, and certainly I don't look down on people on benefits. I didn't actually say that I was 'looking down on you for [obviously not really] being on benefits', now did I? However, I don't have time for cheats and fraudsters, and that could include companies and people who take advantage of people by selling sub-standard products. I'm sorry you've chosen to turn a light-hearted thread into something else but then you do tend to argue for argument's sake, don't you

I am still not totally won over by the quality of their products, but totally agree that the fresh stuff from the counters is always going to be better than the cheap pre-packaged stuff which is always going to be crap. I particularly hate cheap pre-packed ham.

JohnnyFartPants Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Urgh! JFP is talking to A GIRL. Now he'll get girl disease. Will I grow tits and then have big silent sulks while always saying nothing is wrong when asked, but acting like something certainly is?
Durleyfos Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Will I grow tits and then have big silent sulks while always saying nothing is wrong when asked, but acting like something certainly is? You won't be able to parallel park, either. *Runs and hides from the girls*

JohnnyFartPants Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 I expect you have them already TBH No I don't but do I suspect a bit of jealousy here?
bridge too far Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 No I don't but do I suspect a bit of jealousy here? I don't know - do you? If you have tits, then eugghhhh, and I wouldn't be jealous of yours - and if you don't have tits then why should I be jealous of yours when I have a perfectly fine pair of my own :confused: Back to pork haslet......

Are you suggesting we ever veered off?
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 My haslet was cut from the loaf to order. What sort of lead time do they need from order to delivery?
EastleighSoulBoy Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 Will I grow tits and then have big silent sulks while always saying nothing is wrong when asked, but acting like something certainly is? No, the ones you already have will just grow bigger.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 5 March, 2009 Posted 5 March, 2009 No, the ones you already have will just grow bigger. You revamped a joke already done, and not improved it.
bungle Posted 5 March, 2009 Author Posted 5 March, 2009 What sort of lead time do they need from order to delivery? About 2 minutes mate. Depends how good the guy or girl behind the counter is. Shouldn't really take very long. I presume you have used a deli counter in a supermarket before? It isn't 6-8 weeks or anything like that. The only delay is in placing your order which depends on how many customers have grabbed one of the numbered tickets before you. That's all there is to it really. Perhaps you should take someone along to help you out.

Jillyanne Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 Bought some with my shooping this week. Lovely stuff, Haslet and Lettuce sandwichs! Did you go with Cher?
bridge too far Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 Did you go with Cher? Will be lost on him, no doubt.
bungle Posted 17 March, 2009 Author Posted 17 March, 2009 Just ate me a haslet sandwich... How was it?
Scudamore Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 How was it? Tres bon! Two slices for 25p as well. Stuck both in but one would be enough. Would have been nice with cranberry sauce i'd say. Will be going back for more that much is certain! Cheers for the tip off
Channon's Sideburns Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 If it's recommended on here then it's good enough for me. Will they sell it in Waitrose? Probably..I used to work weekends at Waitrose in Lymington..we always had it then. Marvellous stuff.
Post-it note Posted 17 March, 2009 Posted 17 March, 2009 Did you go with Cher? Go **** your bengal kittens you tedious ****ing waste of space.
