Tesco Enchilada Cheese Travesty

56 replies

Dh feels he is being misold his Enchildas.

The image on the packet shows them covered in a light but definite smothering of cheese.

Dh wishes to know how this is going to be achieved with the amount of cheese they have put on.

He feels he shouldn't have to use his own supply of cheese to obtain the enchilda that Tesco claim to supply within the packet.

Are Tesco being unreasonable cheese withholding asshats?

Or is dh a unreasonable cheeseyfucker who should damn well accept that amount of cheese as having been deemed adaquate by Tesco, and just eat them as they are, and stop lamenting?

Here's a novel idea... Tell him to make his own cheese smothered enchiladas Wink

JasonThunderpants, is that you at the back?

I'm glad it isn't just my house that has a designated complainer. That's me in mine. In fact, I am when we go out with my friends. It's got to the point where they call me to tell me how well they have complained about things and the results.

Willabywallaby · 26/08/2014 19:51

I complained about the amount of meatballs in tesco pasta sauce and got confirmation of a £5 voucher in the post thins morning.

Never complained like this before, all done via email.

Dh and I once treated ourselves to a ready meal from Waitrose - it was a chicken, bacon, mushroom and chestnut casserole. Not only were the bacon lardons the tiniest chippings of pig I have ever seen, but the chestnuts were nothing but crumbs, and when I dished up, there was exactly three-quarters of one button mushroom in there!!

I complained to Waitrose and they sent me a £10 voucher, with their apologies.

Oh how I wish it was. I really miss JasonThunderPants and his war with frozen peppers

It's not a great serving suggestion than is it?

Put on a black plate with extra cheese.

And Pot Noodle manage. You get noodles in a pot.

They tell you to add water.

They don't assume you'll add water.

No it isn't.
they are cheese stingy buggers.

Tesco don't care. I emailed to say the potatoes I bought weren't the weight stated on the bag and they wanted the peelings to prove it Hmm. I weighed the spuds as I was following a recipe and even if I had weighed the peelings it still wouldn't have been the stated weight.

They didn't care. Said they came from an independent farmer so couldn't do anything even if they had the peelings Hmm.

Definitely complain. I hate Tesco so anything to piss them off and give them work..

ACheesePuff · 26/08/2014 20:04

Looks ok to me, the cheese is all concentrated into the shot, most of the enchilada is off camera and I bet that it's bald of cheese there.

YABU to buy that shit though, ready made enchilada? Whatever next?

HotPinkWeaselWearingLederhosen · 26/08/2014 20:07

Pre sliced bread?

That'll never take off.

Next time, tell him to the old el paso kits, much better.

HotPinkWeaselWearingLederhosen · 26/08/2014 20:09

He only wanted something quick to heat up when he got in. We do cook Grin

MyCatHasStaff · 26/08/2014 20:12

He has been a victim of what is known in MyCat's house as 'McDonalds Syndrome'. This is where they show you a picture of something they know you want, in this case cheesy enchiladas, then give you something that barely resembles the description, never mind the picture. They can't plead ignorance, as in they didn't know he wanted more cheese, because they showed him a picture of exactly how much cheese they knew he wanted. They just didn't give it to him. Classic case of McDonalds Syndrome.

juneybean · 26/08/2014 20:14

I thought enchilada was the saucy one... he's got no sauce either!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 26/08/2014 20:22

Juney has a point, they have a tomato style sauce on them.

gastrognome · 26/08/2014 20:28

Not only have you been swizzled with regard to the cheese, but that's not even a proper enchilada. It's meant to have sauce on top.

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 26/08/2014 20:35

Yummy

HaroldLloyd · 26/08/2014 20:38

Who is Jason Thunderpants?

You should complain, I complained once that my ready meal was a bit minging and got a £25 pound voucher.

I also complained once that I found a seed in my seedless grapes.

UPDATE***

After all that, he says they were actual quite yummy and for all those worried about sauce there was ample sauce inside. However, he maintain the yumminess was probably down to the M&S cheddar he used, not Tesco. Who are still cheese scoundrels.

OP posts:
TaliZorahVasNormandy · 26/08/2014 21:15

Sauce is meant to be on the outside, so are sauce scrooges.

NellysKnickers · 26/08/2014 21:28

We once found a rather large pebble in a bag of spuds from Morrisons. Gave me the rage but then we forgot about it, then I found the pebble on the windowsill and got the rage all over again. The lack of cheese is despicable. Cheesey tightwads.

phantomnamechanger · 26/08/2014 21:43

A haiku....

Yum! Enchiladas Smile
Oh no, where's the cheese all gone? Shock
Stingy Tesco gits Angry
