I'll write the words...

So, I was opening my brie and bacon Tesco's Finest sarnie. Which was a bit of a problem, as it wasn't really what I wanted. I'm convinced it was tiger prawn and avocado when I picked it up. Bloody witchcraft again.

But I digress. There, on the sandwich packet, was a picture of a large lump of brie, and some tasty-looking bacon. And lo, it said in small black letters "Serving Suggestion".

Now. Are they really suggesting that the best way to serve this sandwich is with a few rashers and a chuffing large lump of brie ? I doubt it.

I propose the immediate discontinuation of the phrase "Serving Suggestion", and the prompt introduction of the snappy "Largely Irrelevant Picture We've Included To Make Our Product Look More Appealing".

Seconded.

Bacon's a funny thing, even being vegetarian* I think I'd rather eat real bacon than the horrid faux-bacon which I was once served up.

* Sushi & Sashimi weakness aside

Pizza: Serving suggestion: On a plate. Chips optional ;-)

I've alway been puzzled by the picture of chips (or fries) that they have on the price board in MacDonalds. These are supposed to be perfectly cooked, idealised chips. Nothing but the best for our photos.

Except they're not. They always have washed out pictures where the chips, rather than being a healthy golden brown, are anaemic, pasty things. About the colour of this here post-it note.

I haven't been into a MacDonalds in years ;-)

I think it may be some form of regulation or at least "best practise" even when it's so obviously completely pointless.

Along with the equally annoying "this product contains nuts" - of course it contains nuts, it's a pack of fekkin peanuts.

Serving Suggestion: Give to your butler. They will know what to do.
