If you bought a potato salad would you expect potato?

On a slightly different note, my SIL ordered Risotto in a restaurant. When I enquired is she enjoyed it, she replied "it was tasty but far to much rice". Medals for me for keeping a straight face

I would take it back!

I need to buy some easy tapas-style dishes so I'lll go to Tesco and taste-test for you.

Do you think they'll object if I take a spoon and test all the potato salads for potato?

When is a potato salad not a potato salad ........

If it is sold as potato salad, it must contain potatoes, sliced or diced. If there are no traces of potatoes than obviously it is a faulty batch or a breach of the laws governing advertisments (Sale of Goods Act)

Tell your dear son to use the little grey cells le Bon Dieu gave him, to quote Hercule Poirot. (Or a dictionary, or a cookery book),

Definitely should have had something resembling baby pots! 😂

I bought these, see screen shot, I know they were reduced, but nothing in the packet except dusty soil!

They're usually small new potatoes as opposed to big spuds like king edwards…Jersey potatoes are usually small as well..

Review from 2 days ago:
Unfortunately the pack I purchased was severely lacking in actual potatoes, though it states 47%.

To me potato salad does not contain cheese.

Wouldn't have an issue with the cheese, but I would be miffed about the missing potato.
"Baby potatoes in a creamy 3 cheese mayonaisse" sounds like your son's wrong, & the potato robot skipped your pack or just dispensed mush.

Yes, I’d expect potatoes in a potato salad

As it advertises baby potatoes you should be able to identify them. Why would you go to the bother of using tasty baby potatoes if you mash them up. I would write to Tesco and tell them you were disappointed.

Yep it says baby potatoes so I would expect to see some!

Does that mean newly born baby potatoes 🤔

Norah the pesto and tomatoes were nice! But the rest was like a cheese dip. There was nothing wrong with it though even though it had no potatoes 😂

I might have to buy it again to see if they all don’t have potato in. It reminds me of a time I ordered a ploughman’s and there was no cheese

There might be a theme running here

I make potato salad often. I don't use cheese, mayonnaise, pesto or tomatoes. Perhaps the picture was a clue to mashed potatoes and other items.

Sorry Wyllow - thought you were talking about the no-cheese cheese.

Under these circumstances I don't think it was unreasonable of you to expect a potato..........😊😊🤣

If I have sour cream in the fridge, my GD loves Fajitas and may have bought some, I use a small dollop of that along with mayonnaise and then chives in season or finely diced red onion in winter.

Me too, in summer. I’m never keen on shop potato salad - too vinegary or something. I just add mayonnaise, but not too much, I don’t want it swimming - S&P and chopped chives, or the green of spring onions.

Ha ha! Wyllow - so should the potato salad!

Was referring to that.

🤣 nice one.

to me potato salad should mean chopped potatoes and mayonnaise then chuck in some cheese if you wish

Ha ha! Wyllow - so should the potato salad!

I agree, it should have been in the "Free From" section.

I have a very good relationship with my local (nearby) Tesco Customer Service counter and I would be having a discussion with them, take the cardboard sleeve and ask politely why there were no baby potatoes in it. Or explain that you ate it as you searched for the potato .

I recently returned “plant based” cheese which at first was refused because “the cold chain had been broken” and refrigerated goods could not be exchanged. I asked for the manager and put my case that the plant based cheese contained no dairy and should not have been on the same shelf as proper cheese and the “plant based” was in small print (too small) - and eventually he agreed “But, just this once”. 😂

It wasn’t about the cost of money wasted (£2), it was because I felt cheated!
