To be FURIOUS at Waitrose?

[HoneyDragon]

I am disgusted and appalled and my evening is ruined.

Having purchased my Waitrose Essentials thin and crispy cheese and ham Pizza I came home expected an easy tea.

I have just got the pizza out and gone to lift the label where it states clearly "peel here". It doesn't peel! Nothing nada. I have NO ACCESS TO THE COOKING INSTRUCTIONS.

I am now having to wing it. I have had to put the oven on and recklessly just pick a temperature and monitor the pizza.

This pizza is meant to be eaten by my children fgs. What if I haven't cooked it properly? Waitrose should think of the children.

I still have the label. In all its stuck together glory. I am going to write to the national press about this and I may sue.

How could they do this to me? I hate it when bad things happen to good people?

AIBU to start some sort of campaign?

OP, whilst I feel your pain, think of my distress when I FROZE one of the dastardly things and extracted it all misty from the freezer on a dire emergency, need food now day. All the trauma you went through, plus, plus, icy fingers looking for helpful guidance.

190 is my preferred temperature. Most things cook reasonably well at 190.
200 - you're pushing your luck. Things burn at 200.
180 - wishy-washy sort of temperature - it's the beige of temperatures. No real point to 180.
190 is where it's at.

I have adequate nails and I have purchased before.

The label basically looked me in the eye and gave me the classic brush off "it's not you. It's me"

And is if things couldn't get any worse, the dog just drank my mojito.
FFS.

everyone knows everything should be cooked at gas mark 7 .

Oh, and are you stealth boasting? Not all of us can go to Waitrose, you know. It makes me very when people show off like this.

I think the label should be ashamed of itself.

I don't go to waitrose - they come to me !!!!

Actually, quick serious point, in case anyone yells VETS! At me, the mojito was virgin.

The dog is still an arse though.

He was only saving you from yourself.

Op it serves you right for getting waitose essentials you cheapskate :)

You are right. Clearly you have to pay extra for instructions.

Except on Christmas Day when the temperature seems to drop.Explain that, I dare ye

Well, TSSDNCOP it's all to do with the demand on the National Grid.
Or global warming.
Or something.

Honey Dragon do you have a pizza stone?

Hmmmmmmm?

Didn't think so.

I cannot believe that we're 5 pages in and nobody appears to have linked to this....

I'm saddened that people think this might have been a joke. I mean it's Waitrose and children no one jokes about that. Honey i hope that you slept (unlike me awake at dawn) and that you recover from this. Be brave

Is anyone else worrying that no-one has heard from Honeydragon since last night?

Is she curled up in the corner, pizza label in hand rocking gently and moaning?

Is she dead of incorrectly-cooked pizza syndrome?

Or is she just lazing in her bed (at 6.55am, the lazy mare), not caring that people might be worried?

Or it's a pizza troll

This happened to me once, I was sat there shaking and crying for hours.

It's a hideous experience and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I will start an online petition for you op!!!

I had a pizza stone. I broke it. But the only ones I can get with club card or nectar points are Jamie Oliver ones. So I'm going without.

I have a new problem. I cannot bin the label. Not until I've cracked the mystery that is Peel Here.

I was rocked to my core in Waitrose the other week. Dd1 (the sensitive, doing GCSEs one) begged for Mattisons Smoked Sausage in A Green Packet. Bloody Waitrose didn't have it. Chorizo up to my armpits but no Green Packet. So I had to go to Morrisons just for one thing.

Bleugh serves you right for not ordering a dominos for your kids!!

ITS OPEN!!!!!!

Dh stuck it as hard as he could to the work surface and worked carefully round the edges till he found a weak point and then managed to peel it open.

So Waitrose need to amend the instructions to

Remove from pizza, firmly adhere to hard surface and begin to peel at any location, except here.

Problem solved.

Success!

yay! but don't eat it if it's been out of the fridge all night, you'll most certainly die.
