Rant number 272
Me and the wife have finally got a bit of good news today - so we're in a good mood!
To celebrate this - we decided to have a nice meal - and something a bit different.
Well - I did anyway.
The wife really likes pizza. Like really likes pizza (I think she would eat it for every meal if she could you know!)
I like pizza too - but I also like a big wedge of meat from time to time.
As a special treat, the wife picked me out some BBQ ribs. I Love ribs - they are one of the best types of meat going.
In a good restaurant - BBQ ribs can be a simple but truly astonishingly tasty.
So how can supermarket ones be so disappointing?
They weren't awful - but they were far from exceptional. They tasted a bit bland really - with a blob of slightly vinegary honey stuff in the middle.
I don't know why I expected anything else I suppose - because supermarket versions of things are never as good as their home made or restaurant counterparts.
Curry for instance, is not rocket science. Buy one in a takeaway and you will feel just fantastic - but buy one in a supermarket and you will wonder what all the heartburn was for. It seems like supermarkets replace taste with more heat - or create mind numbingly bland options.
Chilli suffers the same way. Burgers loose their meatiness (and are padded with sawdust) and every thing just tastes more subdued.
Eat proper food - don't be let down!
Rant over.
