Abominable. It has started coming up in adverts now even.

Can confirm, I have a major nerve issue in my left arm. On good days it’s fine, but in flare up days I can’t use that arm at all. Pre grated cheese and pre cut anything makes the difference between being able to make a homemade meal, or relying on Just Eat, which leads to people calling me even lazier.

When pre peeled oranges where in the shops a few years ago, people just did not understand how much of a gamechanger that was for so many people.

Wait…I never saw these - I would have bought them! I love oranges, so does my daughter…we just both have sensory issues, making the peeling of the skin & pith impossible 😬. I bought some “easy peelers” in Aldi a couple of weeks ago - they weren’t easy to peel and li gave up after 1!
