take a look and say what you see...

I wonder if I am being unreasonable to be disappointed with this. I would be interested to hear your descriptions of the product that you see in the attached picture, so I can judge whether I misjudged what I was buying and shouldn't have felt a little misled

Is there a club for the two-pack fans!

I guess there's something wrong with me not being overfaced by a slab of pâté!

...but no, the trauma came from realising the third-of-the-packet sized gap in the middle!

I don't see the problem. You thought it was one pack, turned out to be two. So either open one and eat them one after the other or open both at the same time. It's the same difference.

The theory is that you don't need to open it and then throw half it away when you've not finished it in two or three days. However you are whinging that you thought it was a whole pack and yet you've not finished it and it's out of date...I'd have thought, in theory, that you are the very person it's designed for.

A description of it? Pressed turd in vacuum pack was my first thought. I’ve never seen a pate quite that colour before 👀

You missed the point that I already made! t'was an illusion. You need to read the rest of the thread.

And no, it didn't go to waste, that was the sell by date. It was all eaten, and it was yummy!

But it has the weight clearly printed on the pack (both the overall and the individual servings), along with the words 'twin pack'?

Yes, indeed, please read the thread.

Looks like dog poo

Looks like dog poo Mummylife2018 then your doggie needs to visit the vet! Hope its better soon...

It's the fridge in the co-op. Two chickens and a turkey?

It's some pate made to represent the ongoing struggle of the proletariat workers against the capitalist overlords in Manchester in the 1930s. The pate represents the workers - mangled and without a recognisable form and the tray and plastic represents the capitalists who are restricting them and keeping them trapped. Soon the capitalist overlords will eat the pate as they dine and the pate, like the workers, will be consumed and cease to exist.

Its made like that so you don't waste a whole slab of pate because once opened pate goes grey and weird very quickly. FYI the aldi coarse mushroom pate on brown toast with some butter is heaven!

And no, it didn't go to waste, that was the sell by date. It was all eaten, and it was yummy

Usually it's a use by date. Are you sure it was a sell by date? Did it also have a use by date? I've fairly adventurous when it comes to use by dates on most things, but I don't fuck about with chicken or pate.

Also, the partly eaten pâté could easily be mistaken for the sole of a foot with the toes eaten off!

You're not wrong

Says pate, looks like pate... so unless you enlighten us as to why you are upset, I can't tell from the photo because it's very blurry.

I buy these from the co-op all the time. They last ages, so I'd rather eat one bit and save the other for when i fancy it, rather than open a pack, eat the little I want, then have to throw it away after 2 or 3 days as I've opened it.

Oh I like a twin pack. There’s only me that eats it and often I won’t eat it all in one go and then one edge of a big slab can go a bit dry and crusty. Although admittedly I’d probably have also assumed it was a big slab as twin packs don’t seem to be readily available round here!!

Hi again, all twin-pack fans. I shall say this only once, I am not dissing the twin pack fun, that's not the point. Read the thread.

I am glad I am not the only one to have been able to 'see' that dontcallme !

Just to repeat, I don't care that its a twin-pack and have nothing against them, and I'm sure its a great idea and works for everyone . Have fun twin-pack fans!!

I didn't realise it was a twin pack

2x 85g portions of pate. I can't see the pic very well. I'm not a fan of pate so wouldn't expect much.
