    Great detective work Zziggi! :T Sounds mad that they challenge you to compare it to Birds Eye, knowing full well that their own pies contain less chicken! :doh:

    Thanks :-) pity I haven't any space in my freezer for All the pies for all my TMF addresses. At least I've got surf TMF clothes washing in the machine & I'll soon be having lunch - shippams sarnie, mccoys crisps washed down with a cup of builders tea :-)

    the label on the product does not say that. But rather: "of each product (up to 3)"... but fair enough it could be read that way too. Good to know though. Thanks!

    Thank you for clarifying. :)

    I assumed it was 3 different products anyway, and it didn't occur to me that people were having problems because of this.

    I looked at the chicken pies. The t&c state it's if you don't agree there's more chicken in the McDougall pies compared to Birds Eye chicken pies. KnowiNg that some firms are sticklers & that this TMF appeared not to be an opinion based TMF, I decided to look at the ingredients. McDougals - 20% chicken, Birds Eye - 36% chicken breast. I'll check the mince & steak pies when I see flashed packs.

    McDougalls mince & onion pies are a "they taste better than birds eye" TMF rather than a fact based TMF like the chicken pies.

    For those who tried Fentiman's tonic water - check if the correct amount is received as a refund. I paid 2.49, sent the receipt and claimed the money back. Then I received a cheque of 1.49! What a cheek!

    Hi, Has anyone managed to find any of the Discovery products anywhere? All I can find is the Salsa everywhere I go. :(

    I found Soured Cream in Morrisons and Table Sauce in Sainsburys but you have to really hunt on the shelf to find the TMF ones. :)

    I got my 1st Mexican Discovery cheque today (well, perhaps yesterday as on RM redirection from my Mum) Correct amount, plus a voucher for 50p off pastes and seasonings.

    Just been to one of the Plymouth Morrison's stores, and no MBG packaging on any of the McDougals pies. Even had a good rummage through the freezer as well.
