Wanting a meat free sandwich for lunch today, I had the choice between ‘cheese and gherkin’ or ‘vegetarian.’
Not being a big fan of pickles, I went for the latter, only to discover upon eating it, that it too was filled with quite a gratuitous superfluity of gherkins. Why? They weren’t even on the exhaustive list of ingredients. I’m sure I’m not the only pickle averse client they have. Surely the pickle lovers are more than adequately catered for with the ‘gherkin and cheese’ option, not to mention the non vegetarian alternatives. Maybe someone in the kitchen accidentally put in a bulk order of the nasty things, and they were all due to expire. I’m not a picky eater in general, and I don’t mind unadulterated baby cucumbers, but if you drown them in vinegar they get dangerously close to the Devil’s vegetable on my hit list. Out they go from my meal, and into the bin. I hope you’re happy, nameless faceless pickle mad sandwich maker!
