I Recently Bought A Walkers Mighty Meaty 24 Pack Of Crisps

This contain 6 packs of roast chicken, 6 packs bacon flavour , 6 packs of Beef flavour and 6 packs of Prawn Cocktail. Surely under the trades description act prawn cocktail cannot be classed as meaty

Think yourself lucky, OH bought the Christmas dinner pack, turkey and stuffing, sprouts, pigs in blanket. As my late mother would have said The must have seen him coming.
As for prawns, they're not vegetables so surely they must be a form of meat, they were living things at one time, the real ones that is! Someone in our quiz team argued, seriously, that birds are not animals.

I guess the flesh of any animal can be considered to be meat - cow meat, pig meat, chicken meat. fish meat, crab meat, prawn meat.

However, to call it "Mighty Meaty" when it's only meat-flavoured seems a bit of an exaggeration.

Write/email to them in a humorous poetic form, you are bound to get a voucher at the very least.

If something is X-flavoured, it must contain X but if it is X-flavour, it need only taste like X.

[THECORBYLOON]

GOLLOB, is there any meat in any of the crisp flavours?

[gness]

Well I've often taken a bite of a prawn in a cocktail and said... Mmmm....that's a nice meaty prawn..... :-)

[Old_Geezer]

I consider any animal flesh to be meat. Beats me why distinction is made depending on environment, such as water living. (The meat from some animal types don't appeal though.)

[Hopkirk]

All of those can be eaten by vegetarians, so there's another reason to complain.

Apparently the only Walkers crisps that aren't suitable for vegetarians is the pulled pork BBQ.

[divegirl]

Well there's no chicken in the chicken ones, they are accidentally vegan.
There's no bacon in the bacon ones but they do contain milk...
The prawn ones also appear to be vegan, so no prawn/meat in there :)

[THECORBYLOON]

The pulled pork flavour crisps are not suitable for vegetarians because the flavouring includes pork powder.

[TheDevil]

I would say that prawn would class as a meat.

[hc4361]

It is only recently that Walkers cheese and onion crisps became vegetarian, they used to contain rennet. The only flavour that vegetarians couldn't eat. Now only the mature cheddar flavour is unsuitable for vegetarians. Anyone who expects mighty meat in crisps is deluded

I bought some mincemeat pies for xmas.I was highly distressed to find that there was no meat in these pies.Bah.

[Mamyalynne]

Restart the tradition. I'm sure they'd sell.

//The reason mincemeat is called meat is because that’s exactly what it used to be: most often mutton, but also beef, rabbit, pork or game. Mince pies were first served in the early middle ages, and the pies were quite sizeable, filled with a mixture of finely minced meat, chopped up fruit and a preserving liquid. Mincemeat originally came about as a good way of preserving meat, without salting, curing, smoking or drying it.

In 1413, King Henry V served a mincemeat pie at his coronation. //
