I bought some from asda, packaging said CHICKEN spring rolls but someone must have been swapping the labels around because they only have cardboard sleeves, as they were actually the VEGETABLE spring rolls (they look identical in the plastic carton). A cheeky customer no doubt, not wanting to pay the extra 30p for the chicken variety.

Shocking in itself, but not something I'd cry over. Well, not for long anyhow.

But to my disgust, biting into one of these vegetable spring rolls, I notice a jelly like substance. I'm guessing this jelly is used in small quantities to add flavour, but I got an extra dollop of it. Not what you'd expect, biting into a spring roll... a big gobful of what could be phlegm from a disgruntled, or mentally disturbed employee. Spitting it out and examining the strange substance leaves me to believe otherwise though. It looks like jelly and tastes like sauteed onion.

In conclusion, I won't be buying them again, I've had to take the rest of the week off work to get over THE GREAT ASDA SPRING ROLL JELLY SCANDAL!

What on earth are you talking about?

Take it back and demand a refund!

It's probably just that jelly stuff they get from the spinal cords of dead animals.

Nothing to worry about.

Mmm, sounds, erm, tasty.

Are you sure you didn't buy some jelly and there was a mysterious piece of spring roll in it?

Yum! Was it strawberry jelly?

I got one of those horrible shivery sick feelings reading description of jelly.
A bit like when you get an unexpected bit of fatty chicken or a bad peanut lurking in an otherwise pleasant bag fo dry roasted - it scares me for day

Ewww, I don't like stuff like that - in fact, that is exactly the reason that I don't like pork pies

LOL



Thanks for the tip though on how to save thirty pence on a box of Spring rolls OP. Just be crafty and switch boxes

I bought an Asda ready meal that was disgusting, I took the box back as the waffle was on there about getting your money back if you're not 100% satisfied, and the woman on customer services gave me aggro because I'd chucked it in the bin ... apparently they want you to carry their rank nosh back to them too! I got my money back though in the end.

What do you expect with Asda though? Try and get your money back.

my son sent me to the shops yesterday for pork pies with out the jelly bits.
obviously i came home empty handed.

I'm wondering if it is cornflour, which is used a lot in chinese cooking. Though to be honest I wouldn't eat anything from the Asad deli menu, most especially the pre-prepared meals they have.
