If you bought a potato salad would you expect potato?

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

🤣 nice one.

Ha ha! Wyllow - so should the potato salad!

Was referring to that.

I make my own potato salad, at least every other week.
To me potato salad does not contain cheese.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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 😂

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

Does that mean newly born baby potatoes 🤔

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.

Yes, I’d expect potatoes in a potato salad

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.

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

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

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!

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),

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 ........

I would take it back!

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
