    My order has just arrived and I couldn't be more pleased with it, the contents of the lucky bag are vast! Though a couple of the cakes will go to the birds as we don't eat them.
    There's a bag of Fredduccino in there, I've never heard of it, some kind of cold coffee mix.....

    Calleyw,

    i cant see what the problem is...

    it wasnt Af fault about the courier delivering next door,

    The labels on the soup was prob taken off in the factory, so nothing to do with Dan. As for the Dents in the tins, there is nothing wrong with Dented tins, as long as they havent 'blown'

    The food is cheap.....and Dan isnt working on huge profit margins here, he is going for volume sales to get his profit....So just bare this in mind when you think you have a cause to complain...(this is in general... not about the dented tins)

    Maybe people are a little defensive of them. Even though lots of people have had severe delays in the past and the odd leaky/squashed thing, I guess we think the owners and staff are very friendly, fun and helpful. I should imagine a fair amount of orders come from MSE'rs and they are good to us with freebies and codes etc :)


    Its called business , i think some confuse it with something more

    If you're anywhere near me, you can have it ;)

    I just thought, I need a new recipe for tomorrow now. I've got 3 pcks of nan breads in my order to use up.

    Tonight we'll have one each as I've had beef & veg in the s/c all day. But what do I make to have with the others, we don't eat curry (he doesn't eat Chinese, I don't eat Indian)...

    24 cans for £2.49, nuttily cheap. In fairness it does say de-identified.

    Not being funny, they may have been dented beforehand, that is a cheap price?

    Quite, of course it is. But they are 99% of the time very good at it, which is more than can be said for a lot of companies :)

    Miles away! But thanks!

    You can if you have a good knife, split them, warm and add a filling like a pitta bread.

    Also make great odd pizza bases for a lunch :)

    As long as the bags they are in are air tight which I presume they will be then they freeze very well and will last for aound 3 months if frozen, just take them out a couple of hours before you want to use them.

    THey do make great pizza's or as sugessted cuth them in half like a pitta and fill them may not hold together to well though.................
