Unfortunately yes. Even more unfortunately I had the urge to try them a couple of months ago.

I occasionally get a fancying for one of these, you can keep your Bombay Bad Boy, this is the real deal.

Don't pretend you've never shopped in Iceland .

Actually, the last place I saw them was in a supermarket in Iceland this summer.

I'm rarely seen in Iceland, and if I am it's usually waiting by the checkout whilst my Good Ladies goes round the store.

They weren't brilliant first time round.

We were all simpler in those days.

Indeed things were simpler then, I sometimes think it would be nice to go back, then I think no, I'm comfortable in my own skin these days and I wasn't in those days, I don't want to go through that angst again.

Your avatar is still on the blink though.

I too am very content with where I am now. I remember in my youth going into a supermarket where they had both types of pasta, spaghetti and spirals. Very posh.

I have listened to an long playing gramophone record in my own home for the first time in 17 years.

I am on the dullest conference call in history listening to some techies mess up a OAT test on a "big data" server cluster. I have no idea why I'm listening in.

Thank goodness the lunchtime vegetable bake was free. It was singularly tasteless.

I think Tesco's product development department were having a bad day when they came up with this particular item.

Those food technologists are all a dodgy bunch.

Total madness in Tesco tonight... Eleven regulars other than myself, the most I've seen on a weeknight. Big Hair's antics have been rubbing people up the wrong way of late judging by the tone of the conversations - in the end, I teamed up with Mr & Mrs Bowls Club and two of the Chinese Ladies to try and get the better of her.

I didn't even bother biting for the chilled stuff, just too many people - left the bun fight for others. Wasn't much I really wanted anyway, judging by what others had in their trolleys, though that chocolate cheesecake would have been nice...

Did get the bits I went for that I didn't get on Sunday, namely breakfast items (teacakes, chocolate croissants, fruit loaf) plus "keeping" fruit & veg i.e. carrots, beetroot, green beans, broccoli, mushrooms, tomatoes, strawberries, physalis and mangoes. Also bought some full price bananas and tangerines.

Today's bonus buy was a job lot of Whiskas Temptations cat treats on clearance. They've still got nearly a year to run on the date.

Also went to the Co-op earlier in the day and picked up a dozen petits filous, two tubs of quark, three balls of mozzarella, tomatoes and an aubergine.

Between what I picked up today and what I picked up on Sunday, that's groceries sorted for a fortnight.

Quite. Not the first time I've had stuff that's been woefully underseasoned...

I just had an underwhelming pizza from a large national chain for dinner. Now I recall why I make my own.
