That wasn't swine flu that was when the feed was contaminated . . .

I mostly shop in Lidl, anything I can't there I try rest of them. Rarely Superquinn though, they were just too damn expensive for too long. Selling a bottle of water for €44 was madness.

thetonynator

Supervalu and lidl, but that question is too on topic for my liking.


Who likes cake? whats your favourite type of cake? I like cake and cake is completely off topic and should stretch this out for another two pages . . .

No dicussion of where you buy you cake that would bring it back on topic . . .:P

Good tangent for thread extension Tony. I'll oblige by asking where is the best place to buy ingredients for baking cakes?

Biscuit cake! No cake like it...

fabbydabby

This house believes that so-called biscuit 'cake' is not cake. It fulfills none of the basic requirements of cake and furthermore, it is the contention of the house that such reckless nomenclature is peddled primarily by culinary dilettantes and arrivistes as they grapple toward their ever elusive approximation of bourgeois gentility.

Discuss, with references to WD-40, solid-state lubrication and the seemingly unending innaccuracy of Captain Havoc's statements (where appropriate).

I'm forced to agree with fabbydaddy on this one with one caveat:
yes chocolate biscuit cake is NOT a cake.
however:
cake tastes good
chocolate biscuit "cake" tastes good
so maybe it is a cake.
any other suggestions on what it should be called?
has anybody recently had some in a cafe here in the marble city that they can recommmend?
Am pretty partial to a bit of the auwl CBC, drizzled in lashings of WD.......

I would imagine that the Gourmet Store on High St would be the spot, although Im not sure if they would have it but they seem to have everything else. Caramel slices in there are feckin serious yokes!

That is of course if the one way system does not interfere with your ability to access the Gourmet Store. If you do manage you could pop up to Superquinn and purchase the ingredients to try make one yourself. I hear theres great deals up there on margarine at the minute.

Be warned though, you may well bump into some crazed lunatic cycling around that area proclaiming false information, about lubricants and swine flu. You have been warned and I wish you every success in your quest for biscuit cake!

Roast beef tastes good, yet I do not see people tripping over themselves to shoehorn it into a cake-related naming convention.

Your deductive reasoning is as flawed as Captain Havoc's understanding of light lubricants and indigenous pork production.

I did a compare and contrast in terms of buying the exact same shopping one week in Dunnes and the next week in Superquinn, as I was concerned about price differences.

Turned out to be about 2 euro cheaper in Dunnes but I felt that I'd rather spend that 2 euro on not being in Dunnes so now I mostly shop in Superquinn when I'm in town.

Of course, Lidl blows them both out the water pricewise and there's a lot of quality foods there to so when I can, I'll head out there.

Also, Biscuit cake is a cake made of biscuits, yeah? Like carrot cake is a cake made from carrots and jaffa cakes are cakes made from jaffa.

readily available in the big tesco in kilkenny

well what about shopping on line with tesco, okay there is a delivery charge, but no car parking charges no waste of fuel in the bunged up High St and if you are not happy one can always pop out to your other favourite store, living near 9 milehouse we are somewhat limited one reason we go Clonmel rather than Kilkenny, as an aside anyone know where and when the swo called Kilkenny Town Bus runs

foxcoverteddy

WEll my super efficient wife makes Biscuit cake with Lidl's Chocolate and Lidl's butter and Lidl's digestive biscuits, super quality and at a reasonable price, if you are an adventurer buy Lidl's marshmallow and turn the whole lot into a rocky road, no charge for our recipe just happy to make your day

I LOVE shopping online with Tesco! People think online shopping is for invalids and people with avoidant personality disorder but I totally disagree. Here's why shopping online is great:

-You can do a weekly shop in ten minutes without even leaving the house - great for that busy working professional
- It gets delivered to your door for €4
- If you think of something you need during the day, you can just log in add it to your basket, meaning that you wont forget to get it next time you shop
-It remembers what you bought the last time, so shopping is just a simple matter of ticking a few boxes
- It automatically displays the special offers and the most optimum quantities in which to order something
-Comparing the price of 10 similar items is a piece of cake, it's all on the screen in front of you, including the specific price of items (price per unit, price per kilo) so you really can get the best value
-You can keep track of how much you are spending on your shopping BEFORE you have to pay for it... online shopping makes it easier to stick to budgets and easier to exchange items for similar items of lower value or change your mind at the last minute before you pay
- You don't have to queue like a plebian and endure screaming kids and peons
- You don't have to pay for parking or sit in traffic, push trolleys around, lug shopping in and out of car boots and unpack everything again at home

The only disadvantage is not being able to pick up bread, fruit and veg and examine it prior to purchase, which is why you get those bits and pieces in Eurospar or somewhere on your way home and buy your weetabix (or generic own-brand alternative), domestos and tins of peas online.

3 questions:
what is the range of deliveries for tesco and are there different prices for delivery to different areas?

and if chocolate biscuit cake IS a cake how come throwing a few marshmallows into the mix force it to lose its coveted cake moniker and turn it into rocky road which is clearly not cake?

PhilipMarlowe

rocky road is most delicious ice cream. FACT!

up for anything

Not many of them to the Euro these days.

Supermarket shopping is my social life and my therapy. I had visitors the weekend before last and since then I have been asked by at least five checkout ladies how did it go with the visitors. I talk too much.

foxcoverteddy

Apparently the charge varies on which day you choose to have shopping delivered, monday is the cheapest "4euro", where you live only defines from which Tesco the shopping comes, in the city we presume Carlow, for us nr 9milehouse Clonmel. As for the rocky road it is still a cake as such.
Carrot cakes only have a minute amount of vegetable
What about the town bus, where does it start and where does it end and where does it go in between, why can I not leave the car and have a jump on and jump off ticket one presumes it goes to St Lukes, McDonagh Stn, Langton's, Woodies Cillinhill and High St, though on reflection Kilkenny is rather like Bruge in Belgium, horse drawn conveyances would solve the one way system problem and if we actually dug up John St you could floaT DOWN TO lANGTON and might just as well do Maudlin St and back round the council offices to Jon St, One other benefit would be the copious quantities of manure.

Couple of questions regarding Tescos delivery service

1- How accurate are their deliveries as to what was ordered? Are they always spot on or would this have to be checked every delivery?

2- Delivery day and time. Do they give a particular time for delivery or would one have to wait at home all day for them to arrive?

fabbydabby

1 - I can't give you an exact figure for this as I have never analysed it but anecdotally I would say 'very'. If your item is not available for whatever reason you have two options on your order. You can instruct them to select a similar item of their choosing (maybe Daz instead of Ariel or whatever) or you can instruct them to omit it altogether and credit your account to the value of the item.

2- You pick a two hour delivery window from the matrix on their site.
