to complain about shallots?

Had our shopping delivered yesterday and I ordered some shallots (crazy idea about making a thai curry from scratch - Delia said it was a "simple and easy recipe" - she lied) and when they arrived 3 of them were mouldy.

I have just e mailed to complain but it looks really childish "my shallots were mouldy"...I mean - they are only shallots.

Have just had a customer service e mail saying that they are going to ring me so now I am going to have to talk to a RL person about mouldy shallots. I feel a bit silly.

'rotting' sounds better - more dramatic. Why not say they are rotten?

yes cos they're not proper onions are they

they're like real onions but smaller and more annoying to peel

they shouldn't be around

I would complain, YANBU and you never know what you'll get.

When I was in the customer service queue at Tesco on Sunday a man in front of me had been charged .87p for a single challot! When he complained he was was refunded £1.74!

A whole 99p!

So - that's shallot...
