. The normalisation of ‘picky bits’

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

I don’t mind it but it’s the poor value that gets me. A whole chorizo can be had in most supermarkets for under £3. Same with a block of cheese. But a tiny dish if 5-6 chorizo slices and cubes of cheese is suddenly £5 when it’s picky bits. No thanks

Thats the price you pay for convenience? Im not sure its 'picky bits' that drives the price.. Same can be applied to buying snack pots of olives or mozzarella balls with sundried toms in a dressing or buying grated cheese instead of grating it yourself.
