This SuperValu greatly expanded its deli a few years ago, offering a good selection of tasty sandwiches and ready meals. Unfortunately in the past year the food on offer has gone steeply downhill in quality. Recently I bought a SuperValu chicken ciabatta sandwich and a SuperValu chicken and bacon sandwich. I was astonished to discover that both contained no butter and no mayo (this absence was not indicated on the labels). Apparently SuperValu wants to make its sandwiches more ‘healthy’ by making them taste dry as sawdust. I realise that using butter and mayo on my sandwiches may result in me losing my candidacy for the title of Healthiest Corpse in the Graveyard, but life is short and good food is one of life’s pleasures.
This branch’s ready meals have taken a similar downward path in quality. An anti-plastic drive has seen several tasty favourites removed from the shelves to be replaced by much more expensive meals in foil containers. I tried one of these meals (a chicken dinner) and it was as bland as wet cardboard. Evidently as part of the health drive the use of salt has been forbidden.
Thanks, SuperValu: you have ruined what was once a good deli.
Nice shop, well stocked but not huge. Main Street Ranelagh beside Fly Fit Gym, paid parking at rear Expensive compared to discount stores (deals, lidl, Aldi) & some things more expensive than Tesco but it would be a higher class of supermarket
