So I got engaged, Christmas happened, New Year happened, and lots of other little things. But I break the silence now to talk about Tesco and Sainsburys.
The Basics Pollack at Sainsburys costs about £1.50 for a bit that feeds 3, and it's Marine Stewardship Council certified. That's this thing that endorses about 10 fisheries around the world (last time I looked, could be more) to ensure they're being fished sustainably. And it seemed to be fresh, and of good quality (can't be factory farmed if it's MSC, I am pretty sure, so it's proper wild seafish). The cod was about three times that price, and had no logos to proclaim it to be Guardian-friendly.
The value Tortilla chips at Tesco contain Maize, Veg.Oil and salt. They're 17p for 100g. Pringles have all sorts of crap on them and they're about £1.50 for 170g. Kettle chips are back to basics, just potato, salt and oil. They're about £1.80 for 200g.
Having just announced a birthday party at a pub that charges 99p a pint for a really nice beer (and more for rubbish beer), I am personally very pleased that the cheap options seem to be better than the expensive ones in Modern Britain. I am now looking for a Tesco Value House.

I am afraid the certification lies. It is most definately farmed. See me for details. LordWardx
What was that first part again...?
Congratulations! You too will soon be a member of the Smug Marrieds' group. You can then have fun telling all your dating or cohabiting freiends that "you really should think about getting married, you know. It's the best thing we have ever done."
Congrats again.
