And the Pinot Noir has gone out of stock... again... They had no idea when it may be back but on Monday afternoon were down to just Two reds. Typically BA, I just thought that they could not be bothered to fetch new bottles for the counter so ordered on the app. Not only did it not turn up, neither did an apology or an offer of an alternative.
Dear Lord! Your powers of description beggar mine own. You have actually stumbled upon that which I dislike most. Nothing is freshly cooked and sits stewing in its total lack of juice, Once upon a time, one could order fresh food but that has all been "enhanced" away. Turkey is not the easiest meat to cook and keep the breast moist - and the obsession with temperature rather than with freshness. it is a bit like those ghastly carveries where everything has been sitting since time immemorial with soggy sad vegetables that have had every bit of goodness extracted in the cooking water and slung out.
As far as the reds go, probably no one had ordered it and as you remark; no one could care less. Vile.
