Ocado shopping pickers clearly don't cook

I ordered 4 hake fillets. Am making a tray bake with tomatoes, olives and basil. They have substituted with 2 smoked haddock fillets. Grr in what world is smoked haddock anywhere near to hake? So we have a decidedly odd fish dish bubbling away with half the fish I needed. :(

Sounds familiar. I ordered fresh basil from Asda. Surely if they've got no fresh basil, dried will have to do? Nope, they brought fresh rosemary. They are 2 different ingredients!

Not food, but my last order (from Tesco) I ordered size 6 pull ups for DS, they substituted size 5's. If he needs a 6, then a size 5 is useless! DUH!

Ordered a small bag of Charlotte potatoes - a waxy salad potato - they ted a large bag of king Edwards - floury pots suitable for roasting! I can't believe they didn't have another salad/ new potato available.

Last week ocado substituted a large family size quiche with a meat and potato pie for one! They have also substituted 6 pints of organic full fat milk for 1 pint of same, I'd rather have 6 pints of usual.

Heigh - ho!

My best bonkers substitute was from Asda, who sent me a lovely piece of plaice in lieu of Quorn mince Grin

Ordered cocoa butter, got Vitalite.

Grin Vitalite! Did it have the same effects as cocoa butter? Wink
