Tesco potato alphabets

If @Nomisf pulls through on this it could be another amazing win for OCUK forums

While it might just be a stopgap if someone did manage to get in touch with the supplier how amazing would that be!

Good luck!

I like the Morrisons ones. Yes, I'm afraid even at 36, I still enjoy potato letters.

McCain smiley faces are a winner too

Signed for you.

Having two kids who are very fussy eaters, i can't imagine how much of a pain this is for you as we can make them eat in most cases, the older of the two is starting to try more of what we eat which is good, but my youngest will generally only eat sandwiches with chocolate spread, spagbowl or shepherds pie which gets very annoying when your out and about trying to find food and havent prepared.

Could try emailing the ones who specifically process potatoes.

Some of the posts in here are perhaps less sensitive than they could be... I grew up on alphabites and waffles for dinner because I struggled to deal with food textures and would gag and retch. I'm sure my parents were frustrated by it, in fact I know trying to get a nutritious balance of food in to me broke my mum. She'd try to hide foods, like steamed potatoes, with boiled, and I could pick them all out. Every night my family would have healthy, nutritious meals and I'd be sat there with a plate full of waffles and some bread. And like your daughter I'd have gone to hospital rather than eat anything different.

In my case by my late teens and early twenties I'd started to get over what ever it was causing my food issues and now I eat a fair variety of food, more than my wife who I'd consider a normal eater. Hopefully that will be the case for your daughter.

Sorry I don't have any remedy but I just felt I had to say something positive about it all because I know it's not easy and its a big fear for my little boy as he grows up. I hope you can find a resolution to your problem.

Where you not referred to a therapist or something by your GP?

question is does she notice or just eat the food without even realizing?

OP have you tried posting on Tesco's Twitter and Facebook?

 

[silversurfer]

Good news, I estimate Kingston has around 20-30 units left in stock, on Clearance.

Incase the poo hits the fan (or letterbox) I have liberated 10 - the most I could carry on shanks pony...

Which are now safe for you, it looks like I have space for 3 times more ...

Just say the word, and I will clear them out of Potato shapes and hold them for you as long as you need !

Ps. I may even be able to drop them off in the near future, if you location is correct - as I regularly do the M6 to Preston for work!

Pps. They are in the clearance section right at the front of the Kingston store freezers, on the right of Aisle 11 - 1st lower bay.

What a bloody nice man there!

Kudos sir.

 

[rebel rebel]

Yeah excellent work there Nomisf!

 

[kindai]

Now I want some

 

[rebel rebel]

It seems that this product made the headlines last year, when a mother complained about them not having the required letters to spell out her sons name. I wonder if they discontinued the product because of this?

To my knowledge no GP was ever involved other than to say that I looked healthy and I'd probably just grow out of it, my parent's never got me assessed for autism, I think they felt that a label wouldn't really help anything. I probably had a very unhealthy childhood but it doesn't seem to have affected anything now.
