Co-op meal deals

Feral_Moon

Completely agree with you jenniewb. I've only ever once bought one of these deals as I happened to be in a store once that has these promotions (my local ones don't) and iirc it consisted of 4 cod in batter, frozen chips, peas, Aunt Bessie's jam roly poly and Carte D'or ice cream. I bought it for the deserts alone and gave the fish and chips to my son

That's a slightly better offer, assuming the battered fish fillets are proper cod fillets and not mechanically reformed mush.

They wont be cod. If specific they'll probably be something like pollock. If it was cod it would say cod or haddock etc. When it's a fish not in demand they label as 'fish.

According to this :

Its Fish Fingers NOT Corn Cobs ?
Though strange they would have two different fish in same deal

Pollock - and you can currently get double the size (4 fillets / 400g ) for £2 in Tesco

I don't shop in Tesco and nor do I like pollock. I prefer Aldi's chunky cod fillets in batter (4 fillets/500g) for £2.29

Feral_Moon

Looking at that list again I can buy cheaper in Aldi:

4 x cod fillets in batter (500g) - £2.29
Frozen peas (907g) - 69p
Sweet corn (900g) - 85p
Home style fries (1kg) - 95p
4 x ice cream cones (110ml) - 89p

Total cost = £5.67 but you're getting almost twice as much food for your money.

Got the meal deal today, it was fish fingers instead of corn. It's a 6 pack of Cornetto.

Yep, they're mechanically reformed mush pollock - but it's OK, cos they're formed from Alaskan pollock fillets :cool: http://www.birdseye.co.uk/products/fish-fillets-in-batter
The same applies to the "100%" fish fingers. http://www.birdseye.co.uk/products/fish-fingers-in-crispy-batter
I hate that Birds Eye does this. As Feral Moon, I'll stick to Aldi
