  There is only one word that comes to mind when I think about what to do with cabbages……. wait for it….. Okonomiyaki – aka Osaka soul food – I have made some cracking Japanese “as you like it” Okonomiyaki pancakes at home and of the key ingredients is cabbage. I defy anyone who has never tried Japanese food or attempted to cook it at home, not to like Okonomiyaki!

    Sounds brilliant, found a recipe. I will go straight to the Tesco to buy some: katsuobushi (whatever that may be), nagaimo (whatever that may be), aonori (whatever that may be) and benishoga (whatever that may be).

  A word of warning for Tesco Home Delivery customers: I ordered 5 x Small Cabbage @£0.36 each for delivery, which came this morning.

  Instead, I received:
  0.575kg @ £0.46p
  0.750kg @ £0.60p
  1.125kg @ £0.90p
  1.175kg @ £0.94p
  1.188kg @ £0.95p

  So instead of spending £1.82 I was charged £3.85!

  Needless to say I rejected all five to the driver and will receive a refund, and no bonus CC points. Win some. Lose some.

    I’ll bear that in mind when I go to pick mine up…

    Now we know who is culprit behind the 30.000 ton of food waste at Tesco.

      That is an important issue, for sure.

      However, I would like to point out that the cabbages are individually shrink-wrapped and thus the ones I rejected just go back into stock to be sold to another customer, so no wastage.

  Surprise, surprise…just had the call I was expecting from my local Tesco stating that they couldn’t possibly supply me with the 69 small white cabbages that I ordered on 18/10; apparently they only receive the online orders at the store a day or so in advance and the most they’d be able to give me today was 12. I questioned why it had taken them so long to realise that they weren’t going to be able to fulfill the order and the member of staff started telling me that there is a per item limit specified in the T&Cs but completely floundered when I asked her what this limit is. She suggested that next time I wanted to make such a big order that I went to the store’s customer service desk and placed a special order there, in turn I suggested that they put a system in place where such orders are flagged and that if she absolutely must start quoting the T&C line she should at least know what she was talking about. Needless to say the order has been cancelled :-/
