To think this is a rubbish supermarket substitution?

LIGHTHEARTED ish

Instead of two 500g jars of sausage casserole sauce - I'm getting one packet of Colman's sausage casserole mix

A few years ago I got yellow peppers instead of bananas. And flour instead of a fresh loaf of speciality bread.

I can sort of see where they were going with that! Lucky you didn’t get a rubber duck and some daffodils!

very true!

I never get any interesting substitutions. Food delivery day is Sunday though so we'll see.

And virtually every dinner I eat involves a jar or packet or some sort, I don't see the big deal. It's easier and quicker.

I remember a MNer posting about the substitution she’d been sent - she ordered white wine and got grapes

Haa, love it! If so the packer must have been taking the piss "Here MrsGlitter get grape tramping I Love Lucy style" lol

That's not bad - at least they were both casserole related - I ordered fresh chicken breasts and ended up with frozen chicken nuggets, that was the worst, oh and the newborn nappies arrived instead of size 4 pull ups!

I love those sausage casserole packet mixes. Sausages, onions, mushrooms and peppers, with fresh bread! (Tip if you just put fresh sausage straight in or frozen sausages, without browning, they go lovely and soft and you can almost spread them on the bread!! Obviously we are pigs in our house!!)

I'm laughing at the disgust further up the thread about a jar of sausage casserole 😂😂

I once ordered a hive lightbulb from Amazon prime now and they sent a crate of beer instead. Not quite sure what the thinking involved was there!

Ordered the number 1 & 7 candles and they sent 0 & 7, when I queried this as being a bit odd as why would they send age candles for a different age they said had to go by what the sub offered on the computer thing they use.

They really couldn't grasp the issue.

What fresh hell is sausage casserole sauce??!!! And a packet sauce?!What do you even mix it with...?!

Clue is in the name.

Ordered 3 x 1l bottles of ready made aptamil. Received a single 200ml bottle instead.
It's a good job I was bf and had only bought them as back up

So do you not have to pay for substitutions?

I seldom shop online, but on the few times I have, I rejected all the substitutions as they were branded products rather than supermarket own, so I assumed more expensive. Was I actually very stupid and would have got them for the original price?

yes usually price matched so you don't pay extra

Ordered sanitary towels (heavy, with wings), received nappies! Couldn't work out if it was a joke or someone trying to be helpful!

nothing wrong with packets and jars.
ingredietns in a packet Flour,cornflour, Tomato Powder (11%), Diced Onion, Garlic Powder, Paprika (6%), Dried Red Bell Peppers (4%), Sugar, Oregano (2.5%), Chilli Powder (Chilli Pepper, Cumin, Salt, Oregano, Garlic), Salt, Black Pepper, Basil, Total content of Herbs and Spices = 29.8 nothing wrong with those.pepole really need to get over having little aids in the kitchen.it is only one packet of what youd add urself to a a casserole.
balance people

aksed for lemon sinus relief packets.
got lemon bleach.yep thatl clear my pipes!

I’ve said this one many times before, but I once ordered really expensive lamb shanks, I’d never cooked them before and wanted to do a nice meal for bro and dsil. They sent me Mutton mince (which I have never seen before or after).

Knitted-fairies
But can they be mashed?

Anything can be mashed if you’ve got a big hammer 🔨.....

Ha OP fwiw a schwartz packet mix makes an awesome sausage casserole, the Colman's is awful! Never done a jar tho

Haha the substitutes are sometimes so ridiculous that they're funny. I've had a few useless ones, but I think the most ridiculous for me was when I ordered some new baby bottles from Asda and also ordered some extra teats to match the bottles (DS was going through a stage of biting all his teats).
Well the bottles and teats were out of stock, so instead they gave me 2 lots of larger sized teats, but I had no bottles to go with all the bloody teats 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Actual lol!
lol

My own personal fav was when I ordered peppermint tea and it was subbed with a double pack of After Eight mints

But hands down the best one I've ever seen on here was the MNer who had her one bag of sprouts (for Christmas lunch) subbed for one sprout - wish could recall/link thread but highlight was the lone sprout was cooked and placed in pride of place on the Christmas table whereupon it was ceremoniously cut into 4 quarters so everyone could have some. Fucking love MN sometimes, the gifts that keep on giving

To the person that said the sausages wouldn't get hot enough in a slow cooker - err I think your slow cooker is borken!

If you are cooking a casserole, it should reach boiling temp. When I do my ham at Christmas the centre of the ham reaches 70 degrees, and that is a huge ham joint.
