Dear Mr. Tesco

Will you please stop putting sliced potato in your moussaka and replace it with more aubergine? I will gladly pay the few extra pence this will cost you.

Yours in anticipation, Harbal.

Conrad, when moussaka is made with potatoes it ceases to be moussaka and becomes what we in the UK call shepherds pie.

Conrad, Tesco have replaced aubergine (egg plant) with potato and now you are swapping the lamb with beef. Now we've gone from moussaka to shepherds pie to cottage pie.

Har, your dilemma has perhaps sorted out a dilemma for me.

I have friends coming to dinner next week and I couldn't think what to cook for them.

Now I might consider moussaka

What's the difference between shepards pie and cow pie?

The difference, Miguel, is the difference between beef and lamb.

Shepherd's tend sheep.

Thus there is lamb traditionally in a shepherd's pie, not beef/cow.

Har, I didn't realise that was a Yorkshire tradition..

I guess if I put enough spices in it, it'll mask the lamb flavour a bit

It's more a ~~urban~~ rural myth than a tradition, molly. Or so I'd like to think.

I have absolutely no doubt some deviants partake in it, Har..
Luckily most people aren't deviants, even in Yorkshire

Moussaka brings out interesting conversations

Yes, molly, and all because I had a Victor Meldrew moment over a use by expired, aubergine deficient moussaka.

Dear Mr Tesco,

Please replace you sliced potatoe with bacon and your moussaka with prawns. In fact, if you could wrap the prawns in bacon I would be eternally grateful. I will not pay any more but I promise to stop spitting in the moussaka-potatoe

Tesco's moussaka does have aubergine in it but only half as much as there should be; the deficit being made up with slices of potato.

I've never had moussaka but would love to try it, not so sure I want to try to make it myself though as I'm unfamiliar to cooking with lamb.

I already tried that, EX, they just sent me a voucher for a free aubergine and suggested I add it to the next moussaka I bought. I'm hoping that by going public with with blog it will pressure them into action.
