Who would buy that

    Have you come across anything and wondered "who would buy that"

    or even have a need for such a thing.

    Marks and Spencer food shop sells breast of woodpidgeon,
    who would buy that.

    Maybe it is an undicovered delicacy!

    TK Maxx sells all sorts of odds and ends, many with the "who would buy that" vibe to them.

    Any time I see a union jack on an item, other than in an ironic style, I am left wondering " who would buy that?".

    What have you come across and been left wondering "who would buy that" or "what use would you put that to?".

    Nothing wrong with woodpigeon, I've eaten it before albeit full of shot as it had been given to us by the neighbour's son who was a hunter.

    TKMaxx is just stuff other shops failed to sell or there was some issue with!

    No chance I’d buy breast of woodpigeon, I shoot a few hundred every year, provides sport for me, a service for the farmer and food for the family. If you haven’t eaten it you should try it, lovely meat.

    And all in sizes XS or XXL, rarely anything in between. Great for buying a completely non-matching set of anything.

    Your family eat a few hundred wood pigeon every year ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,937 ✭✭✭SmartinMartin


    Woodpigeon is delicious. So I would buy that.

    Most of it is given away or to the dog, plenty gets eaten by us though.

    I've had it in a restaurant before... Very tasty.

    I didn't know M&S sold wood pigeon, I might buy that next time in my local store; thanks OP! :D

    I've had woodpigeon more than once, I'd buy that.

    I've got a few things with the Union Jack on and I'm English so I'd buy that.

    Other than that, I can't think of anything other than a Fiat because I just don't like any of them.

    I mean, spending more than a fiver a week is pointless, but it's nice to buy a line and dream of a better life.

    Bags of grated cheese and chopped vegetables. It takes so little effort to do it yourself and costs more to buy pre prepared.

    Last time I was buying grated Chareville cheese in Tesco. A block and grated was the same price.

    I've often seen it cheaper, same with chopped veg.

    Time is the most precious thing there is.

    Prob save 50c for 5-10minutes of grating

    Is that all your time is worth?

    No, I get things being redefined/etc but some thing shouldn't be. Call it a vegan compensation for meat roll.
