So there I am - I have selected a rather nice looking yellowfin Tuna salad on Malted from the sarnie section in Waitrose
Return to my desk - Take a bite and yuck yuck yuck
They have stuffed said sandwich not with lettuce leaves but with coriander leaves - Hideous monstrous things
The consequence - I am £2.59 down and still hungry
Damn you Waitrose :thumbdown:

I'm with you on the coriander leaf phobia. Flat leaf parsley for me. It's far more palatable.
Perhaps you could get them under trading standards? I am pretty sure that under English law a "salad" has to contain limp lettuce and soggy tomatoes and transparantly sliced cucumber..I think a slice of cold hard boiled egg had to be included too.
Coriander huh? As my dear Mother used to say:
"It's far from coriander you were reared"0 -
There's only two places where coriander should be and that's in curry and salsa. Coriander in sarnies and salads is an abomination.0

Thanks Cullen - Perhaps we could for an Anti- Coriander Society!0

I bought a bag of mixed salad leaves for eating with my lunch at work this week and took a mouthful and just about gagged. I thought my salad was off so had to find the offending item. I read the bag and discovered that coriander was in it so then had to pick out all the leaves. I NEVER want to eat that stuff again in a salad!:thumbdown: YUK!
Now I know why that particular salad bag was on special in Morrisons!:001_rolleyes:0 -
is coriander the one that resembles licking the end of battery?? i am sure i had this once and i was sure my filling had fallen out as all i could taste was a metalicky (not metal mickey) taste in my mouth
YUK!!!

Yes that's the blighter
I say "surprising taste" because it is a surprise - Right before you gag
More supporters - Yeah0 -
Thats what it is a metalicky taste! I couldnt describe the taste all I thought was a strong perfumey (but not nice perfume) disgusting never want to eat again taste! I will be checking all salad bags in future to make sure there is no metal mickey in it! :001_smile:0

I love it when it's in it's proper place combined with other strong flavours - with onion, tomato, chilli and lime as a salsa it's wonderful or in Thai food or a curry, yum. In a salad, though, I too gag. What's wrong with a nice simple green salad, (cos lettuce, cucumber and maybe a few rocket leaves) decently attired with a simple vinaigrette?0

I'm a pie and chips kind of a gourmand meself...0

toad in the hole?0
-
Are you being a dirt bag again, Seany?
(what do you mean by Toad???)0 -
Its matts favourite dish!
I would un-adopt him if i were you cullen!! he is a "wrong'n"0 -
He just needs a firm hand....
(That might have been the start of all his trouble..)0 -
-
Yes, he is a bit mixed up, but don't blame him. It's my fault. I knew I should have thrashed him more, harder and longer...
Er maybe I did and that's why he's...
Oh My God.......0 -
:laugh::laugh::laugh:
Next time he tells you he is going out for dinner... and you ask what hes having... and he says Toad in the hole.... U know what its code for!!!0 -
