to wonder why Sainsburys is no longer selling frozen chopped onions?

[katykuns]

I tried cutting my own and storing them in bags... it was not a rewarding task AND all my ice-cream tasted of onion after a few days >.<

WHYYYYY SAINSBURY'S?! Or is it just Norwich that is evil? I can't find it on the online system or in the store...

They're pre-chopped. Done by the supermarket before you got them home. Ordinarily you'd have chopped them for dinner, but in this case, it's been done earlier, or previously.

I can confirm they still have frozen onion in Pontypridd Sainsburys, I got done this morning. And some toasted Mediterranean veg for pasta. Nom.

I know, I know. 'Tis pure laziness.

They are very nice when pushed for time at end of the day.

I buy chopped onions. I've got a disability that severely limits the use of my hands. I can chop almost anything else but onions are slippery and if I cut myself I don't feel it because I've to sensation in my fingers.

Buying chopped onion is cheaper than paying someone to chop them for me! I usually get them in the co-op (local shop) for 50p in the fresh veg section (often reduced, last time they were 10p so I bought all they had and froze!)

I'd never judge anyone for this. Who knows what's more important than chopping!

OH dear OP look what you have started !

Haha sits back and enjoys

I buy frozen chopped onions and sometimes I buy grated cheese !!!

Oh no pre grated cheese is SHITE powdery crap

Pre grated parmesan comes from actual jock straps and manky socks.

i used to buy packets of dried onion, can't seem to find them either

Sainsbury's do dried onions, so do Ikea. They're quite yummy.

ewwwwwww squoosh

(parmesan related)

Not parmesan - cheddar!

Sainsbury's freshly grated parmesan cheese just.makes.sense. Grated cheddar cheese? No. Just no.

Would it be bad for me to admit that I buy frozen chopped veg? Couliflour and broccoli? Or is that acceptable?

Everytime I buy fresh, half ends up in bin because only me and DSs eat it. DH refuses.

I can't get frozen onions or frozen mushrooms anymore in my local Sainsburys.

I want them back!

The frozen mushrooms taste like wild mushrooms and are lovely in pasta.

I make 10 litres of soup a day, frozen veg is my saviour, especially onions, my eyes can't handle the fresh ones. You can get frozen sliced onions in farmfoods but that might just be Scotland!

I tell you what else I miss. Ready peeled potatoes.
They were brilliant.

Grated cheese has saved my knuckles, I hate grating anything.
I have never heard of ready peeled potatoes, don't they go all brown around the edges?

Sorry but my love of frozen 'just chuck it in the pan cos it's done' does not extend to ready peeled potatoes .

Do ready peeled potatoes not get soggy in the freezer?

Crazyhatlady - I have to ask what you are doing with 10 litres of soup a day - bathing in it?

Where do you buy frozen peppers and garlic? Does the garlic taste exactly the same in sauces? This could be a whole new world for me... [excited]

Jesus, no wonder this country is in a crisis when folks are TOO FECKIN' TO CHOP AN ONION.
