Oh my goodness, where to begin? Usually we love our goodness direct buys, they are cheaper than our local supermarket and they have a broader range of healthy cosmetics and specialist foods.
But in this instance, they fell short. It all started when we noticed that GD had a promotion going on with their juicing apples. Being bargain magpies we clasped at it with both hands and awaited our package in the post....
Upon arrival, everything seemed ok. That is, until we opened the box. The apples were smushy, while not a real word it's the only sound that we can come up with that fully encapsulates what we saw. Anyway, we sorted through the 5kg of apples and dug out the 1.8kg that still had edible bits on.
You'd think that it stopped there, but oh no...these apples had something to prove. We used them in mixed juices and everything seemed ok, we were all feeling a bit nauseous but that could have been due to anything....up until we were forced to use up the last bit before they succumbed to their mushy fate. big mistake. We each spent saturday night hauled up on the sofa drinking chamomile tea, our stomachs ballooned to epic proportions, cursing the blasted apples.
Will we buy them in the future? Hell no! Lol, never ever again. It probably was just a bad batch but we won't be risking it again.
