there isn`t that much on the site unless you want snacks containing lots of sugar and salt. Also a 2 week backlog so unlikely to get what you ordered. I have given up on AF although I must say they do a pretty good job of advertising on this site
Its a shame because my first order was good but they seem to have over extended themselves0 -

A little ironic yes.
Most likely a mistake, although saying that have had beef or chicken flavour pot noodles and other snacks that had never been within 10 feet of a cow or chicken, let alone made with bits of them, so you never can tell...
If they went the other way and made vegetable flavoured meat, I might start getting confused however0 -
Always makes me laugh how the meat flavoured Walkers crisps are fine for vegetarians, but the Salt & Vinegar and the Cheese & Onion aren't! :eek: :rotfl:0

Its amazing what you can do with flavourings, which is why some cheap food has lots of them to disguise the real flavour...
I think the cheese and onion is because they use real cheese for some reason, and a lot of cheese is made with rennet - which I will let you google yourself if you don't know what it is; lest I be accused of trying to put you off your dinner0 -
I know what rennet is but i choose to forget :rotfl: (I'm not veggie!)0

Just noticed they've got gluten free lasagne sheets, they're £1.99 a pack in Tesco, and i just ordered 6 packs for the same price, hubby will be happy, hes been craving lasagne for the last few weeks, but i couldn't justify spending £2 on just the pasta (yes i'm a meanie!)0

Hi, I'm not sure the correct link was posted above. I saw the same site the other evening but the honey label, jar size and name doesn't match what's on the site. Asal's the persian word for honey and it appears a lot in searches. Wasn't able to find a match the other evening. Hope you don't mind me mentioning it and please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks for the other info.
