ventaWalking round Tesco (pausing only to be amused by the sign which said "Stoned Fruit", because I'm very juvenile) I spotted on the fish counter some peppered mackerel fillets, 49p each.
Thinking they'd be nice in my dinnertime sarnies, and that they were very cheap, I bought a couple.
Standing at the checkout queue I observed the label the fish-counter lady has stuck on them: Hot Smoked Peppered Mackerel, Will Contain Bones. What?
After I'd paid, I went back to the fish counter to check. Yep, the label says Hot Smoked Peppered Mackerel Fillets.
And on my purchase: Will Contain Bones.
The thing about fillets, Tesco...
Post-buttie update: no bones. Halfwits.
(In case anyone's confused, the fish is cold. There's a process called "hot smoking".)
