    Well, I put my first order in on Wed last week (14th) before realising there would be a delay! To be honest, I haven't minded as they have been so upfront about everything on the website and this forum. I got my delivery today - which has cheered me up no end as I'm off with flu! A few things were out of stock, but I did get Bakin' Boys cakes (albeit lemon rather than chocolate!), and am munching on strawberry liquorice as I type!

    I would definitely use them again - and just want to wish Dan and his expanding company all the best.

    What! You got my liquorice!:eek:
    I will console myself with another pack of Limbos:o

    breaking news- there is more
    Pudliszki - Fasolka - Spicy Sausage, Bean and Bacon - 520g

    £0.40 each or 4 for £1.00.
    Back by popular demand.
    520g
    Best Before: 09/2008
    I know someone was waiting for it.
    None of us really liked it- yet we all ate it and kind of missed it when it was gone. I guess if you were Polish and it had been part of your childhood it would have a lot of nostalgic memories attached...I saw something similar in Tesco for around £2.40 a jar-I think it was the same thing?
    Anyway, at 25p a jar for an easy storecupboard lunch that may even be relatively healthy, given that it is mainly butterbeans, I will order more.

    Sorry 'bout that! Luck of the draw I guess! :p Still picking it outta my teeth! :D
    I did miss out on all the drinks I ordered though - hopefully I'll get them next time.

    They're not butter beans - I hate butter beans, but I liked this, they are giant beans (completely like giant baked beans) and very tasty.

    Exactly the same product is £2.79 a jar in Asda.
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    We're not Polish but we loved them and they were keeping our student son going so will definitely be ordering more! Actually, they're horrible and no-one else will like them so please steer well clear :D

    I got mine today, pleased with my first order
    I collected it from DHL but if you leave a letter with them , you have to sign their approval letter at their office they will leave it in a special place ie the back garden or something, the packaging was well strong too so good for bad weather. so no more trips to the courier either x
