“So, no substitutes today then?” asked the Mhinisteir. “There is one actually.” replied the Tesco delivery man.
In the meantime, I was standing behind the door, wondering why he didn’t mention it earlier because it is not easy trying to look for the substituted item among the shopping should I not want it. I often reject substitutes as they can be tricky like the time when I was offered Chinese spring rolls as a substitute for my chocolate eclairs!!!!
Anyway, the papayas had been substituted with mangoes which was a fair substitution.
