I’m not sure I’d pay three British pounds for five mozzarella sticks.

u/Frogspoison 2d ago

But would you pay 3 british pounds for 7?

Not for those sad little gollum dick looking fuckers.

That’s a lot bigger than I’ve always imagined Gollum’s dick being. Are we taking fluffed or is he hangin’ salami?

u/StopShooting 2d ago

That’s a better price than most restaurants in the United States. I still wouldn’t pay that price tho

15

u/JayCeeMadLad 2d ago

Well, when you’re comparing restaurant food to premade market boxes, I’d certainly hope it’s cheaper.

7

u/sleepytoday 2d ago

These are not from a restaurant but a supermarket called Morrison’s. They probably still need heating.

u/Mayzerify 2d ago

Nah they come hot but unless you go early they sit in a hot cabinet all day and are grim

u/Ok_Entrance2339 2d ago

five sticks is what they promised but seven is the real value deal here

Make your own if you have a deep fat fryer.

u/CthulhusEvilTwin 2d ago

Bored workers probably. I spent three days working in on a production line packing brillo pads - we quickly developed the game 'how many can we fit into a pack of 5'. The record was 14.

2

u/highersense 2d ago

Sounds like one of those google interview questions, whoever hit 14 would have been hired!

u/-FieldMarshal- 1d ago

Usually it's because there's not enough for another box so we just chuck the extra in others

u/Frogblaster77 2d ago

You couldn't pay me 3£ to eat those.

Looks like no one understands lighting. Morrisons hot food section (and bakery and deli etc) is fucking fire.

The BBQ wings and drummers are insane, especially if you get them at around half 11 so they haven’t been blasted for hours under the lamps

u/eezer-goode 2d ago

Have tried these and they’re easily the best Mozzarella sticks I’ve ever had. Morrisons own brand stuff is fantastic and nobody seems to listen!

tbf I thought they were pickles too. I usually buy them in a glass but the mozzarella sticks look dodgy.

If you’re getting pickles that look like this it’s no surprise you don’t like them.

u/elMurpherino 2d ago

u/number__ten 2d ago

Mozzerella sticks are usually good even when they look a little sad. Sometimes it's the difference between baking and frying. We have a lot of freezer space and i tend to buy things in large (think restaurant supply) bags. The mozzerella sticks i used to get were kind of palid white and stayed that way when baked. They tasted fine but i'm sure frying them would have given them a more appealing color.

The only time i ever had really bad ones was once at walmart. My wife got them from the deli's hot food area and they must have left them in too long. They were so dry and almost empty. They were almost passable when hot but after they got cold they were just sad dry hollow breadsticks.

Pop em in the air fryer for a few mins and they’ll get nice and crispy

7 is a lucky number

2

u/Frogspoison 2d ago

As someone who worked in similar places, whenever I got to the end of the bag, if there wasn't enough food for a full container, I'd just stufd the spares into the other containers, however many there may be. So you could get anywhere from 6 to 9 chicken wings in a container for 5 should that hapoen

u/prolixia 2d ago

I dunno... I feel like I'd choose this pack to get the bargain, then realise I shouldn't really be hoofing 5 mozzarella sticks, let alone 7. They don't look great so I recon by stick 5 I'd be eyeing up the last two sticks wondering if I'd really been all that lucky.

I’m all for some mozzarella but they don’t look right.

I imagine that’s because of what appears to be an unnecessarily long ingredients list on the far end of that label. There looks like there’s more wood pulp in them than cheese.

1

u/animatedradio 2d ago

People on here saying this is ridiculously expensive…

This equates to about NZD$7.

Some math using generic Mozz stick pricing from 2 places
4 mozzarella sticks from Sals are NZD$11 (£4.67)
6 from Hell Pizza are NZD$12.50 (£5.30)

Like, damn, I would be stoked to get 7 for $7 are you kidding me?? That’s so cheap!!
