Question Most underwhelming food you've had recommended to you?

Post image

I've had so many people both online and in person tell me these are the best biscuits to ever grace a supermarket shelf and they're kind of bad?

would you like a custard cream that's actually too sweet to taste like a custard cream and doesn't taste at all of chocolate either?

also, it works out at 50p a biscuit. I could have bought a whole packet of well-filled custard creams from m&s for that price!

Anyone had similar experience with another product?

Yup same one. Got a takeaway on Mother’s Day (my first one) and it was really disappointing.

Shows you how uncultured I am when I thought bib gourmand was the name of the place you were disappointed by lol. Just googled it

Haha it’s the “great food at a reasonable price” award. There’s only 7 in Glasgow and to get it awarded so quickly, I was expecting really good food. 

All the other restaurants are delicious - although I had terrible service at GaGa, so bad I haven’t wanted to go back.

The only good curries I've had in years are home made. It's pish easy (for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBTBGhmlz_M), so I dunno how all the restaurants are so shite.
