Dear Linda McCartney
I'm afraid that I have a rather serious complaint to make
about one of your vegetarian products. Yesterday I purchased a packet
of your 4 Deep Country Pies from my local supermarket, and later
heated them up for supper along with some oven chips, for my
three children and myself. I have to report that in at least
one of the pies, the pie eaten by me, was a quantity of meat.
It is difficult to believe that with a pie whose ingredients
already include water, wheatflour, vegetable oil, onion,
rehydrated soya protein concentrate, vegetarian seasoning,
modified starch, wheat protein, soya flour, salt, malt
extract and sodium, that there would be any room left
in it for meat, but meat in it there was. There could
very well have been meat in the other three pies as well,
but unfortunately my children had eaten them before I had
the chance to check. (The speed with which my children
dispatched the pies would suggest that they did indeed
contain meat, since they are reluctant vegetarians at
best, and anything put before them with meat in it tends
to go down their throats without touching the sides.)
Needless to say I am very disappointed in your 'vegetarian' pies
and certainly won't be buying any more. I would like your comments
on this as I may decide to take the matter further with the
appropriate authorities.
My regards to Paul - they just don't write
them like 'The Frog Song' any more, do they.
Yours faithfully  |
