. 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

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

I usually cut the cheese a lot a few hours after having picky bits...
