Serving Suggestion...

[mistergixer]

I bought a pizza from the co-op earler. The packaging showed the (cooked) product on a plate and bore the legend 'Serving Suggestion'.
I looked into it in the larder a little deeper - cereal packets showing the cereal in a bowl with milk.
Serving suggestion.
Biscuits on a plate with a cup of tea.
Serving suggestion.
Coffee, in a cup.
Serving suggestion.

WTF is that all about?

They never look anything like they are supposed to though. Like a burger for example, the serving suggestion may look something like this.

It then comes out looking like this.

It's a load of bollocks.

But yeah ... I have a serving suggestion of custard in a bowl (!!)

Now at the risk of upsetting Grav, there really IS nowhere else I would expect to place custard prior to eating it.

Damnit, I now want a Big Mac. So much for cutting out meat and dairy for a while

I would guess the "serving suggestion" tag is so that people can't sue assorted food companies for misrepresentation when they discover their boil in the bag fish doesn't come with a tastefully laid candlelit dinner table and full silver serving set.

Most of the serving suggestions i read say 'eat abit in kitchen before sharing in front room'

mistergix...was it a 2 for £3.50 pizza? Yummy...and do you add Bling to tart it up abit? (subtle ways to suss whether mistergixer is a chav)

It's because if the box has a cooked pizza on a plat on the front, you might legally claim thats what you expected to be buying. Putting 'serving suggestion' indicates that you are not getting literally whats in the picture.

I'm a fan of "caution may contain nuts" written on the back of a packet of peanuts

Probably not related but.

I was in Lidl's recently investigating methods used by the Lower Orders to procure groceries, while perusing the coffee products each with their own serving suggestion (on topic,) I found a brand of liquid concentrate coffee sachets; it said on the packet the flavour was 'Minges'.

Even when you buy them from Maccy D's they never look like that, they are thrown together and mostly burnt. It's all a lie I'm complaining next time lol it's like air brushing a model its cheating.

That explains the fast food difference, also if the place is busy then I am sure the spotty teenager doesn't give a fuck about what it looks like as long as it done on time.

I find worse the 'Suggested Serving' size for cereal. 30g of Cereal is sweet fuck all. A 12 serving box lasts me 4 servings. How eats 30g of cereal really?

WTF

Also agree with Charlie about cereal servings. I'd have to put it into a yoghurt bowl to eat a 30g serving with 100ml milk or whatever they say, otherwise I'd feel robbed. Additionally I'd have to be the size of a 5 year old with the slow acting metabolism of a 90 year old to even get past 9am on a 30g serving.

He only wanted to fill up his trousers, not need to buy new ones from jacamo Muzza!

Oh and if I buy custard in cartons/tins, I find that's perfectly acceptable, none of this posh 'mug' thing!

[Tarmacsurfer]

Custard is never acceptable. It is evil, sick and wrong.

The only correct place for custard is with Grav, mainly because I don't know where he lives but I'm reasonably sure it's nowhere near me.

I can and do eat a whole box of cereal in one day. If i'm in a cereal mood I have a couple of large bowls in the morning. A few for dinner and then once I've settled down for the afternoon I will just eat it till its gone. I love nesquik.

Argh, you buggers!

My dilemma is currently:
Custard or Weetbix?

I could have natural yoghurt and a handful of berry muesli, but that's far too healthy for this time of night.
