Call this eggs Benedict? You must be yolking...
IT probably sounded nice on the menu.
But it’s fair to say this eggs Benedict ordered in Wigan Tesco didn’t quite live up expectations.
Disgruntled diner Thomas Hesketh tweeted a picture of his meal - two poached eggs on a pair of folded slices of ham, drizzled with globules of hollandaise sauce - after ordering it in the supermarket.
It’s since been retweeted more than 2,500 times.
Thomas also tweeted Tesco to complain, writing: “Ordered eggs Benedict in your Wigan cafe and received this monstrosity.”
The Tesco Twitter account replied: “Hi there, I’m very sorry about this happening. Did you tell the staff?”
Thomas, who says he paid £5 for the meal, answered: “Yes, they said they could cook me up another one but it would be the same.”
Hundreds of Twitter users have since had their say on Thomas’s meal.
Stephen Murtagh tweeted: “Looks like it needed a bra, not a knife & fork.”
And predictably, it being Wigan, there were also a few pie gags as well.
Is anybody there? tweeted: “If you will ask for eggs Benedict in Wigan you shouldn’t be surprised when you get a monstrosity like this. Ask for a Butter Pie in New York and you’ll probably get something just as bad.”
A Tesco spokesman said: “A Tesco spokesperson said: “Our Cafe team are really passionate about serving our customers great quality breakfasts and we’re sorry this eggs Benedict didn’t meet our usual high standards.
“We’ve offered Thomas a gesture of goodwill and would welcome him back into store so we can put this right.”
