One of our loyal readers Alan Allen who works for HBOS has sent us this picture of their canteen’s version of our favourite dish – Scampi and Curly Chips!
Scampi with Curly Chips or "Fries" as they are known...
Scampi and curly chips served in a polystyrene box with what I think is supposed to be Tartar sauce. Now I know Tartar sauce looks a tad suspicious at the best of times, but that just looks like sick. Sorry, but there’s no nice way to put it…And curly fries too – what’s that supposed to be about in a work’s canteen?

Curly fries are all well and good in a posh Gastro Pub type establishment run by one of these TV chefs, but not in a canteen, cooked and served by some lady called Maureen wearing a hairnet – It’s just plain wrong.
Now, to the most important part of any SAC meal, the Scampi count. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I can only count 8 pieces of Scampi, which by anyone’s reckoning is a low yield.
I didn’t eat it, Alan Allen did, so I can’t tell you how good/bad it was, but for me there are just too many negatives involved so it has to be a low score I’m afraid…
HBOS Scampi and Curly Chips Official Score – 1.2 / 5
Whilst writing this review, it appeared to me that there is one important point I think some of our Business Leaders can learn from. If you don’t want your bank/business to lose all it’s value overnight, don’t go light weight on the Scampi Count.
