What A Difference Eight Days Makes

Every week, I usually order a Marks & Spencer gluten-free spaghetti carbonara in my weekly Ocado shop.

I order it for these reasons.

  • It is gluten-free and I am coeliac.
  • I can cook it easily in the microwave.
  • I can also eat it directly from the tray it is packed in, so if I’m careful, I only have to wash up the fork, I ate it with.

But above all I like spaghetti carbonara.

Last week, I didn’t eat the spaghetti carbonara, that was delivered last Saturday.

So I had two spaghetti carbonaras in my fridge for supper tonight, which are shown in these pictures.

Note.

  1. The different sizes of the two packs.
  2. The larger pack is last Saturday’s and is dated the 22nd of April.
  3. The smaller pack is today’s and is dated the 30th of April.
  4. Both packs are labelled 400 g.

It looks like the packaging could have been shrunk, but not the product inside!

I have just eaten last Saturday’s pack and have had no ill effects, despite it being four days out of date.

Incidentally, it looks like Ocado are still showing the larger pack on their website.
