Our local Bowls Club advertised a dinner with steak and Idaho potatoes. Not having Idaho potatoes since I came to Australia I showed up at the club. Nope. No Idaho potatoes! They just tacked the name on russet potatoes and showed no contrition. Our local swim club advertised pancakes with maple syrup. Nope. No maple syrup! Just syrup with a hint of maple flavour. How syruptitiously underhanded! I am running out of toothpaste. I don’t like spearmint flavour but don’t object to other kinds of mint. In our local markets there are many brands of toothpaste. The labels contain the phrases ‘delicious minty flavour’, ‘mint-flavour’ or other designations indicating the presence of mint. Not one label specified the kind of mint. I can deal with that. I will make a mixture of baking soda and salt. Next time I go to visit family in the US I will have my Idahoes and maple syrup (not at the same meal), but I wish Australians would stop the false and inadequate labelling.

Use baking soda and salt as toothpaste and you will be gumming your Thanksgiving turkey into submission.

The wretched global companies that are most at fault for misleading advertising and labelling in the 52nd state of America come from the other fifty-one.

What about the S.O.B who labelled some left over and largely defunct munitions as weapons of mass destruction and got us into a bloody war?

This is why OLO is losing my interest.

Dear David F,

Labelling is misleading.

I totally agree.

I've now started to check the ingredients
on products, as well as their fat content,
and so on. Things that are supposed to be
"sugar free," or "Low in fat," et cetera.
How much meat is there in meat pies - and
do beef pies really contain any beef?
The list is endless. Even restaurants can
disappoint. We went to a Chinese restaurant
recently - the fried rice - was not up to
standard - it wasn't fried but steamed and
lumpy, with a few pieces of corn thrown in.
The beef in black bean sauce was uneatable -
there was so much salt in it.

We shan't be going back there.

It really pays to shop around as far as food
choices go.

I want to see Kevin 07 back on the shelves. This Kevin 09 stuff lacks the promised tenderness and exudes what appears to be Sri Lankan curry.

Mislabelled indeed!
