Dear Batchelors Foods

I have just used one of your Delicately Flavoured Rice packets, and very nice it was too. I just wish there had been more of it. In fact I expected there to be more of it, as it clearly stated on the packet '3 to 4 servings.' To whom exactly, sparrows?

If this seems facetious it certainly isn't meant to be, because after following your cooking instructions, and dividing the cooked rice into four, I can honestly say that each of the four portions was a good deal smaller than the portions of rice I saw being doled out to the prisoners of war in the film 'The Bridge on the River Kwai.' In fact if they'd had to survive on your portions of delicately Flavoured Rice there's a good chance they would still be building the bridge, Alec Guinness or no Alec Guinness.

Is it possible that I got a faulty packet?


Yours faithfully
