Food labeling badness!

As I mentioned previously, I bought pate at Aligro last weekend, and it turns out that it had a nasty surprise: unlisted pistachios. I brought it to work to give it to a coworker, and he confirmed our suspicions. I’ve phoned and emailed Aligro, and they said that they’d look into the matter. I’ll give them a few days before I go all scorched-earth on them.
Update: I got this reply:
On behalf of our supplier, please accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused. The ingredient list is actually not accurate enough. However, after having contacted our supplier, he assures us that there are no nuts in the composition of the product and you can consume it without fear for your health. There are however some pistachios in the composition of this very traditional recipe, appreciated by the customers. Following your message, this label will be corrected as soon as possible.
So, pistachios aren’t nuts. Except that they are. Idiots.
It’s only naughty if you make it so

We cut Bean’s hair. It was a two person job, but at least he doesn’t look feral anymore.
Also, after more than a year of waiting, Katy has finally gotten her well deserved beef Wellington. Highly passed off with Aligro though. The pate I was going to use seems to contain pistachios, which were not listed in the well scrutinized list of ingredients. Improvised with some boursin in the mushroom duxelle.
Also, I ate too much

Seriously? Took me 2 seconds.
The hint is in the filename.
I bought a bike, part 2!
I cancelled my previous bike order because the company kept jerking me around with back-order stock promises (it’ll be here in 2 weeks !), so I went to a smaller shop in Lausanne. After a really good conversation, I bought a KTM ebike that is in stock (in Vevey) and I’ll get it on Tuesday!! I paid a bit more than I had originally planned, but it’s a good bike and I’m going to kick myself in the ass to get my money’s worth :-)
