| Dear Pret, I like your food...not all of it, but most of it... Today I picked up a Chicken Ceasar Salad (get some veggies and protein and fat...all in one...mm mm) and wo betide the loser that made my salad, coz the leaves were crispy yet browning like an apple that had been bit into yesterday!!! Who the hell made that salad??? A blind man??? I read the label on my salad...it sez Pret creates hand made, natural food, avoiding the obscure chemicals, additives and preservatives common to so much of the "prepared" and "fast" food on the market today. Now, I have to admit, no where on the box does it say that the salad is fresh...I'll give you that...but I know you're store claims that the food you serve is fresh daily and you get rid of the stuff not consumed...daily!!! So my question to you is - WTF? Whats the story with my salad, oxidized yet crispy? I was so frikkin hungry I actually ate half of it (I am currently considering suing for mental anguish)...picking out the least brown (yet surprisingly crispy!) salad leaves! When you only have time to eat your lunch at your desk because your colleague pulled a sickie and left you holding the bag....it aint right... What is wrong with my world today???? Faithfully yours (and sure as hell ready to "check" me leaves next time!) JC Last edited by Justin Credible; 19-10-2005 at 02:38 PM. |

| I have to say your mail made me laugh, but pret can only be described as a culinary sanctuary for me at the moment. Surprised to hear your experience. Normally they are good. Though f*****in overpriced. |

| That is correct...HKD34 for browning ceasar salad within the confines of my office, at my desk, and AFTER working out for an hour!!!! When does the hurting stop??? Please, someone make the bad man stop!!! |

| The Pret at the IFC, gym at the IFC and pray tell, was your ceasar salad any better than mine? haha... Dont get me wrong, (or do...) I get a half sandwich from Pret every single morning...standard brekkie...same sandwich...daily (yes, I know what I want and I stick with it!) today I risked the salad...oh well...it was good (if it wasnt for all the brown leaves) and I will still get my sammich from pret...I just might check the salad thoroughly if I bother to get one next time... *mental image of JC with salad dish opened, running fingers through the leaves like a monkey checking his mate for lice* Nice |
