What's the strangest "substitute" item you've been offered on your home delivery?

When I was a vegetarian, I ordered a Vegetarian Kiev.

I got sent a chicken Kiev. :rotfl:

The driver knew already that I wouldn't accept it as he had relatives who were vegetarians

Not a supermarket, but I once ordered a couple of CD's. I received a product called 'Hoofeeze', a hoof shaped thing for horses :rotfl:

I ordered 2 bags of stir fry veg - I got 1, but instead of the other I got a packet of ready made mash....not the meal I anticipated with sweet and sour sauce

nappies in a totally different size....my child didnt gain 2 years in age overnight bless her:eek:

We had this one too, yet they substituted a size 5+ for a size 4. I don't think my son would have been too impressed if we *squeezed* him into a smaller nappy, even at the tender age of 2.

The most bizarre I have had is Tesco substituted a Meatball Packet Mix for a Tom & Jerry Cake Packet Mix, very odd. The delivery driver did have a good laugh at that one! I didn't, I like my Meatballs.

Last night I had 8 bottles of white wine substituted for 8 bottles of red wine!! Spoke to some woman at the store who said she has spoken to the picker, so hopefully it will not happen again. I calmly explained that this happens nearly every delivery such as a cabbage instead of a bunch of coriander, a large box of pork chops (enough for 5) with a box with 2 in, breadsticks replaced with part baked baguettes. When I finished speaking she said "Okay, thanks" and hung up!!

I ordered some chicken and got a bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk once!

It was the last straw for me and I turned substitutes off after this. Clearly the personal shopper couldn't be bothered to find what I wanted. The driver gave me the chocolate for free through so its not all bad!
