As a thread hasn't been started I hope everybody who has ordered meat has had there orders fulfilled, and not been left without any meat.
Oh, loads of people complaining that their boozy mince pies arrived smashed to pieces or not at all.
I did notice complaints that the gammon joint is very thin. One reviewer said she didn't think she would be able to slice it to serve. So it sounded to me like a gammon steak!!!!!!! Surely not?
I really don't like Mr Green Seasons and Chef Michael on the shows. Give me Waitrose or M&S Christmas food any day of the week. I am sure the other supermarkets are just as good too but those are the only two decent ones in my DHS and I can't be bothered to travel to shop for food. The only things that tempted me on the Q food shows were the gift packs of chutneys and,pickles. I didn't buy but would have got them if in my DHS.
Here are the reviews for the Meat Hamper.

All my meat is in, all bought from a trusted butcher and stored safely in the fridge, this includes my beef for New Years and all a damn sight cheaper that green seasons.
As for boozy mince pies, two large jars of M&S best mincemeat, add a bit of rum and make some pastry and ,... Booze mince pies.
Were the boozey mince pies £18???? Maybe I am just imagining that! Although I seem to recall saying "****** Hell!" when the price came up, LOL.
Loads in Aldi yesterday for under £2.00 a packetI think we have one or two posters who may have ordered the GS hamper at least in the past and had a good experience.
As I don't like turkey and only eat it if I'm a guest at someone's house at Christmas, a hamper containing it will never appeal. I like to choose my sausages and bacon, and I like to mix it up and have some fish - usually salmon.
I don't think most of what QVC sells in the food area represents good value, though I have been intrigued by the myriad flavours of Joe & Seph popcorn. Their booze offerings appear to be a total rip-off.

They have had it in our local Aldi but it was £2.89 per bag.
Ooh, which flavours? They had some in Sainsbury's but only the more regular flavours eg salted caramel. I wanted to try the more unusual flavours.
