I was overheard in the supermarket que today, commenting on the "Turkey shaped dinosaurs" the next customer was buying. I said to my wife something along the lines of "How can people eat that shite, there cant be any turkey in it".
The bloke buying it turned to me, holding up the packet, pointing at the ingredients written on the side - "Says here, its got turkey in it"
I laughed and told him its made in a factory from battery turkeys, stuffed full of growth hormones and water.
His wife replied in a rather pleading manner, saying "Its all our daughter will eat" as some sort of justification for buying dinosaur shaped bits of Turkey.
I responded to both of them, and the now large audience, "Your the ones bloody buying it for her"
To the blokes credit he did respond by saying I had a fair point.
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 😯

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?
😛

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.

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.

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.

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.
