[Closed] My big mouth in the supermarket.

you are of course right but a bit rude perhaps. 🙂

Well done for educating someone.

I would have said, how can someone be heartless enough to eat that shite, its got meat in it and then had a rant about 'meat is murder'. An enlightening experience for them

As a grown up had you spoken to me like that I'd have told you to **** off. Well done to the guy for not telling you the same. Did someone appoint you as the supermarket food police

That's nowt...
My work mate went to the supermarket with his missus, was browsing the veg and saw what he thought was his wifes arm reaching for some readily prepared funghi.'F&*KIN CHOPPED MUSHROOMS'!? He bellowed, A rather shocked lady exclaimed 'I WORK'! He apologised and scurried off redfaced 😆

I think you did well not being told to F off and mind your own business. I empathise, as I often comment on stuff and my wifes response is that someone will stab me 😯

Trimix......Self righteous ****

God I don't know how people can shop in a supermarket - do you know about the way they exploit farmers and destroy independent shops?

😛

you are of course right but a bit rude perhaps.

I usually just shake my head and mutter under my breath like a good little Britisher.

Goan would have done a proper job and lamped him one too

Turkey dinosaurs rock! 8) . . . or at least they did 10 years ago.

Sanctimonious twerp.

Erm - no I wouldnt - it's got **** all to do with me what people feed their kids.

You were wrong with your first comment, so had to have another go to prove your self righteousness.
What makes you think you were correct with that statement?

Should've offered to pray for their daughter......

I'm hoping rocketdog was talking about Goan lamping trimix..

Where do they get the dinosaur to make " Turkey shaped dinosaurs" from??? 😉

Eating shite is ok now and again. I'm an adult and can eat what the **** I want.

On the other hand I would entertain the idea of giving them to my daughter...or comment on other folks shopping.

Must be a troll surely people aren't such cocks.

[i]To the blokes credit he did respond by saying I had a fair point. [/i]
To the blokes credit he didn't deck you 🙂

In Unicorn supermarket/Chorlton I read a notice objecting to a Tesco metro opening up the road. I commented why? Whats the prob? to mrshora....and was overheard ..I barely escaped with my life from the place

I'd have emptied the pack of dinosaur things all over you and your missus.

🙄

I've just been to the supermarket and bought a tub of marinated anchovies, some pomegranate, a bag of crisps and an oatmeal and raisin cookie for supper. I'm unclear whether this gives me the moral high ground in an argument about reconsituted turky parts shaped like dinosaurs, so I reckon I'll keep my mouth shut. 😀

haha! My mrs and I have the same discussions albeit a little quieter. I told my sister off for feeding my nieces those. It's all turkey for sure but it's mostly mechanically reclaimed and I bet people wouldn't eat it if they saw it processed.

I think Jamie's Kitchen did an episode on this... think Bernard Matthews.

you could i spose just stand by the tills all day and shout your all a bunch of p*ssheads all day long and would be somewhere near the mark 😆

or stand in asda and ask why 80% of the user are pregnant teens

I always thought that this forum was full of turkeys, turns out i'm wrong - close though.

The 'large audience' were all thinking you were a ****t

TurkeyLadocus mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

when i worked in a supermarket i felt sorry for the families who bought piles and piles of crisps, turkey dinosaurs and other crap, not a vefetable, fruit or anything fresh (maybe a cream cake)!

nothing, bar cheap white bread, that would go mouldy within the month.

you know it's bad when you eat worse than a student!

My brother worked on a checkout once and a guy came through with just a jar of vasaline and a cucumber dont know what that says about him. 😉

I bought some nail vanish from Superdrug this week. BOTH older females decided to engage me on this and pisstake. I put this down to me looking lovely, friendly and cuddly to the female 😉

I think your lucky not to have a stegosaurus halfway up your arse.

Location: Oxford

Explains everything, try that at Sainsburys Salford and you'll end up in the the meat counter!

That said... Doesn't stop us taking the piss, greatest one we ever saw was this Dad asking his kid what he wanted for dinner? Micro chips he says... righto son! In they go.

Nutrition Fail.

Before they became extinct.

I suppose you do have a point but its not always fair to share it with others, some people may not be quite so understanding of your point.

live and let live.

Trimix......Self righteous ****

stuffed full of growth hormones and water.

It's not some random bloke in a supermarket queue you should be telling - try Trading Standards.

Because apparently Bernard Matthews reckon they don't use growth hormones, and the only added ingredients to the turkey in the Turkey Dinosaurs is, "vegetable oil and starch, coated in breadcrumbs".

Do it - I reckon they'll get a well hefty fine.......which will teach the lying bashturds a lesson.

Let the riff-raff in your one eh?

Look at this way at least the poor old battery turkeys didnt have to live too long to make them.
My daughter will only eat 'pre-chewed' meat as I call it. Personally hate the stuff but at least she is getting some protein in her, better than none........No, No No it smy daughter before you very bad people out there start coming out with lewd/crude stuff.
Point is it is about personal choice and sometimes its good to try to educate in a subtle way but then sometimes a smack in the gob often offends when you get it wrong.

dougal sainsbury are there to keep the riff raff out of waitrose.

I think i'd have told you to **** off and stop being a sanctimonious ****

then proceed to pick apart your shopping pointing out all your shortcomings to your equally sanctimonious wife

Is it not illegal to use growth hormone on animals here? We don't import US beef for that reason.

I wonder if someone might want to make animal shaped products out of healthy food - you know, for the kids.

Suggseys' daughter to be phased in by 2025? 😮

One of my wife's very young cousins (6? 7?) suffers from a mental illness as well as Down Syndrome; he LITERALLY won't eat certain things at certain times. For a while he would only eat Nutella sandwiches.

What do you do? Feed him [i][u]something[/i][/u]? Or nothing - and then he ends up in hospital on a drip? That really is the only alternative due to the dis-order he has; there is no real reasoning with him and the "when he's hungry, he'll eat" thing doesn't apply as he doesn't function that way intellectually; he doesn't grasp that what he is doing is harming himself.

The chances that this couples child is like that is pretty low but doesn't mean you have to pass judgement on everyone based on [i]your[/i] presumptions.

Thinking it is one thing; I do it everytime I walk past the likes of Macca's or KFC and someone who is obviously obese is chewing down on a big mac 🙄 but save the comment for the wife when you are in the car, surely? Then it's just between you two...

Trimix... what the chuff has it got to do with you what people buy and eat. I'd have told you to **** right off. Pompous clown.

You are Mrs Merton and I claim my five pounds

What a bellend.

I don't for one minute believe the OP

Walter Mitty IMO

Trimix......Self righteous ****

Well, he might be. And he might be rude.

But he's right.

In defence of Trimix - I often say things out loud that I should have kept in my head (and jump queues) - it's a cultural thing I think a bit too, people aren;t as inclined to take offence quite so easily where I come from. (and will have you up for queue jumping, politely but firmly rather than muttering and looking at you firmly)

So fair point but next time remember where you live and just give them one of those British Class War superior looks.

I wonder...during dinosaur times...did they have Turkey shaped Dinosaur pieces...?

I can see it now...two Neanderthal couples, having the same conversation during a hunt or food gathering exercise.
"Ugggh mammoth. Dino shapes. Urrgh, how can eat urrgh shit"
"Urrgh mammoth, All will eat. Urrgh. mammoth."

Back then the OP would probably have had a spear in the head.

This is assuming:
a). They had spears back then.
b). Ignoring there being no Turkeys until that chortly Mathews bloke invented them.

Trimix I bet your wife thinks your a pompous fanny too.

Has this thread got unneccessarily abusive? I think maybe it has. 🙂

Hark at you lot! 😀

If I had some crap food in my shopping trolley and the bloke behind made a comment about it I think I'd agree with him too. I'm always telling my kid off for not wanting healthy food, but you have to feed them something and sometimes its crap.
I don't think anyone (except a f&^*ing moron) would actually hit, or even abuse someone for such a comment. In reality that is. Obviously, on a forum full of virtual hard nuts, it's different.

Trimix is right. And it strikes me that there are a lot of people on this thread being way more sanctimonious and ****like than he was originally. Is it so hard to hear the truth?

And comments about someone's wife when there's nothing in the OP that gives anything away about what she was up to in this exchange are bang out of order.

In defence of Trimix who is a top bloke ... if you read the thread properly he was talking to his wife! The bloke buying the dinosaurs engaged him in conversation, so once that has occurred I say "fair game"! Self-righteous ... I don't think so! But wouldn't we all be boring if we had the same opinions!!

Trimix has gone all quiet.Wonder why?

(Probably trying to get his high horse through the doors at his local supermarket!)

I wish it was me buying the offensive food. I would have loved to tell you to f*ck right off at the top of my voice.

I think you've made the story up anyway, presumably hoping for everyone on here to hail you hero.
surely nobody is that much of a dickhead. Are they?

I once made a rather loud derogatory comment about 2 bottles of very cheap chardonnay and a 3l bottle of white lightening that had been left on the side of the till, while waiting for a couple to finish packing up their goods. I had assumed that some brizzol underage scummers had been refused by the cashier ...

... only for the supervisor to pitch up a short while later and put it through the till for the underage cashier. Purchasers of said cheap plonk shot me a dirty look and scuttled off. I felt like an utter git.

Gary_C maybe Trimix is at work busy! Unlike the rest of us lazy buggers!
Incorrect I've just heard that Trimix is out preaching to fat people!!!

[i]I think you've made the story up anyway, presumably hoping for everyone on here to hail you hero.[/i]

I can guarantee that he's not made this up... But like I said before, he's right.

I can guarantee that he's not made this up.

I take it you were there then?

There really are a lot of het-up posters on this thread aren't there? "I'm indignant at the thought that someone would dare to pass comment on my choice of gristle-based, novelty shaped food for my children."

Crispedwheel yup that's what I was thinking!!!!!!

Is it so hard to hear the truth?

Well I certainly don't have a problem with the truth.

And according to Trimix the truth is, quote : [i]" told him its made in a factory from battery turkeys, stuffed full of growth hormones and water."[/i]

Now what I [i]do[/i] have a problem with, is liars. And according to the Bernard Matthews website, Bernard Matthews Farms don't, and have never, battery farmed - no turkey is kept in a cage - they are all reared free-range, or indoors. They also claim not to use any growth promoters or hormones at all. Nor any artificial flavours or colours in any of their products.

We know that Bernard Matthews are lying, because Trimix has told us (and the geezer in the supermarket queue) the truth. That's why I think Trimix should approach, armed with his evidence, Trading Standards.

For a company to knowingly lie like that to the public, is a very serious offence - so Bernard Matthews can expect a massive fine. For the sake of little children everywhere, I reckon Trimix should do it.

ernie,did the op say that they were a Bernard Matthews product?

supply and demand.
crap exists cos people buy and want it.

(tho i think its scandelous how little education as to what is in our food exists- dont know if putting the world to rights at the checkout counts as "educating" tho... :lol:)

Does the op have kids?

Im not sure whether I love STW or hate it? Some threads are excellent, funny and interesting. Others, like this one, are just full of bumders.

😈

[i]Im not sure whether I love STW or hate it[/i]

Thats what's so bloody addictive though innit.

did the op say that they were a Bernard Matthews product?

Good point. "Turkey Dinosaurs" are a product produced by Bernard Matthews Farms. Are there other, less scrupulous producers, who market "Turkey Dinosaurs" which are [i]'made in a factory from battery turkeys, stuffed full of growth hormones'[/i] ?

Was that the problem - Trimix noticed that the Turkey Dinosaurs weren't Bernard Matthews ones, and he was incensed that the muppet in the queue was buying the wrong ones ?

Does the op have kids?

The usual get out clause for being irrational, self centered and always right returns again! 🙄

Simple enough question I thought. If he doesn't then he has no idea what it's like to feed a kid. One may well try to impose their strict eating regimes on them but it doesn't always work.
