‘Disgusting’ blast Christmas shoppers as turkey crowns with neck intact & bad delivery substitutes wreck festive feast
CHRISTMAS shoppers have blasted “disgusting” festive feasts after turkeys were pulled out of their grocery bags with necks intact.
Multiple supermarkets have been slammed for ruining Christmas after people started preparing their jolly meals and weren’t happy with what they found.
One person took to Twitter to complain about their pigs and blankets – which arrived and had already expired.
They wrote: “Morrisons Don’t these look tasty for Xmas Dinner?!
“Great online food order collected today. So glad I ordered a month ago to have my Turkey substituted out. Bravo.”
Others blasted Tesco, too.
One unhappy shopper wrote: “Tesco do you know what a turkey crown is?
“No, legs still attached with its neck still attached. If id wanted a whole turkey I’d have bought one.”
Another wrote: “I bought a turkey crown from you only when I’m getting it ready for the oven do I find it’s still got legs and neck so instead of a large turkey crown I’ve got a small turkey, what the hell is going on?”
One other shopper said: “Any reason why my Turkey ‘Crown’ was not actually a crown but a full bird?”
The Sun has approached Morrisons and Tesco for contact.
It comes after a fuming shopper has told how his family had their Christmas dinner ruined when Sainsbury’s cancelled their Turkey delivery.
Jack Rice ordered the bird and a ham for their festive feast – but was instead just given eight ham sandwich slices.
He had placed the order on December 3 – for a medium turkey crown and a £10 Sainsbury’s Brunswick British ham joint.
Meanwhile, a family had their Christmas turkey feast ruined after Morrisons supermarket substituted the real bird with frozen Bernard Matthews dinosaur shapes.
Cassie Rule, 34, from Malvern, Worcestershire, planned to feed six people with the proper turkey.
But when her online order arrived Saturday evening she discovered to her horror that the order was short by one turkey coating £37.
Instead, her turkey had been replaced by £2.30 dinosaur shapes.
Elsewhere, possible E. coli has been detected in four types of cheese after they were recalled – with warnings they could have been gifted in Christmas hampers.
According to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) the cheeses might be contaminated with Shiga toxin which produces E.coli, (STEC).
Mrs Kirkham’s Mild and Creamy Lancashire, Mrs Kirkham’s Tasty Lancashire, Mrs Kirkham’s Mature Lancashire and Mrs Kirkham’s Smoked Lancashire have all been recalled as a “precaution”.
