    Asda's online grocery shopping search facility is mad. Totally unrelated things come up, quite annoying, surely it's not 'rocket science' to get right.

    mw brown's experience reminds me ... I ordered some pretty ordinary ham... which it turns out they had sold out of, and they substituted pork TONGUE.

    I was aghast because they sell AT LEAST 20, maybe 30 types of ham. Why not sub ham for ham? Duh!

    Substitutions are great, aren't they? I was reading a list of bizarre substitutions a while back. I particularly liked black pudding for chocolate pudding, and jamrags for a pregnancy test :D

    I know of one customer who got KY jelly instead of strawberry jelly.
    I've had some shockers myself, that have made me wonder what school of logic the shopper went to. The worst was some IAMs cat food which was out of stock so they sent me IAMs dog food instead. Because that makes more sense that another brand of cat food then. :o
