McCains Gastro chips
McCains Gastro chips. Triple cooked it says. Swimming in fat would be more truthful. You get less fat if you cook them in a deep fat fryer. Absolutely disgusting. And very expensive. Buy Tesco own brand

Not again.................
I previously complained about black and inedible McCainm chips. After several contacts I got a 5$ voucher. Given the time and effort involved I considered the response inadequate and decided never to but their products again. In a rush today I bought a frozen McCain pub chips and damn me if half were not black and inedible. Given myn experience alway choose a different manufacturer

Discrimitive advertising
Is it me or has anyone else notice how McCain are using same sex couples in there adverts, far higher than there are same sex couples in reality thus undermining heterosexual couples
I'm surprised the advertising regulators have not intervened

New Mc chains roasted garlic wedges, don't waste your money
Purchased Mc cains new product as it was on special offer.... Roasted garlic wedges.... What a disappointment.. If something is advertised as being garlic flavoured you would expect the product to taste of garlic..... Not so..... Not even a hint. Won't be buying them again at any price
