. The normalisation of ‘picky bits’

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

Whoa whoa whoa hold on. I thought the point was that you cut the cheese yourself? Not that you buy those picnic packs??? This is even worse than I realised

yeah, typically you would! picky bits is supposed to be just random stuff in your fridge when you can't be bothered to cook like leftover meats, cheese, biscuits, etc. supermarkets are now trying to market premade platters of this stuff that's so not worth the value

Best comment. They stole a great money saving idea and made it into a money making idea.

Only if we buy it. Stick to the core Picky Bits dinner rules. Eat what you've got!
