This is from a german retailer.

"Honestly Grown Produce"

Perhaps it sounds better in German, but translates to that in English?

Maybe it's some standard they have.

Or maybe it's just 3 words stuck together that looks good to the consumer.

I was shopping in Aldi one day and being lazy I was buying meat and all there.
Aldi Cavan would be rough enough being close to settled people of previous nomadic nature.

Had everything on the conveyor, ould wan and two teenage girls behind me, One lassy says "looka mamma, chicken and beef, who does he think he is"

I was in Woodies recently and while at the check-out the woman serving kept looking back over my shoulder. A traveller woman and her young son, maybe 10 or so were in the shop. The mother asked about the colour of something or another at the check-out and then left without buying anything. Son left soon after.
The other assistant then came up carrying 2 big boxes of washing powder. The kid had left them just inside the automatic 'IN - doors'. Plan I guess was to leave the shop, then step back in through the IN doors, grab them and then step back out. I could hear her shouting at him outside in the car after.:mad:

3 'positive' words that when put todether are meaningless or a claim that is so subjective that it is impossible to disprove

This stuff. I get it in an Asian supermarket in Dublin as it makes great stock. I'm guessing it's supposed to translate as 'Chicken on the mountain top'

It could be the equivalent of 'Fair Trade'.

The Koreans, maybe the Japanese too, are good at the '3 words stuck together that looks good'.

Wasn't it Irish checks that showed up the problem?

I'm at my best to identify the type of meat I've been served never mind being able to differentiate it minced up or in some form of extract.....:D

Don't mind them, they were probably jealous that you had a nicer 'trawler'

Speaking of adds remember the lidl one over Christmas where they brought the grandad out to his old house for Christmas. I wonder is he settled back into his nursing home yet?

I think they just brought home the generator and let him freeze and starve to death. Poor devil.
