Schwan's is a company that delivers various frozen foods to your door. I like their ice cream, and they own Freschetta, the world's best frozen pizza (try the sauce-stuffed if you don't believe me). But they really pissed me off here.

As a succinct preface, I don't eat meat. I purchased a bag of frozen vegetables from Schwan's yesterday, their "fire roasted vegetables blend", which is described thusly in their catalogue:

"Fire-roasted, skin-on red potatoes seasoned with rosemary, plus broccoli florets, green beans, fire-roasted red peppers and onions."

Pretty safe bet, wouldn't one think? It's a bag of goddamned vegetables! Rather expensive for a bag of veggies, but I was looking forward to the rosemary seasoned potato chunks. So I opened it, and was about to use it, when out of habit, I guess, I glanced at the ingredients. Don't know why I would have looked at the ingredients on a bag of goddamned vegetables, but I did, and imagine my surprise to find "rendered chicken fat", "dried chicken meat" and "dried chicken broth" in it! Goddammit! Who's the retard that decided to put chicken in a bag of veggies, and not even mention it in the description?

So now, if I want to buy anything else from Schwan's, which I strongly doubt, I'll have to ask the delivery guy to fetch the bag from the refrigerated truck and bring it to me so I can read the ingredients, because he's not going to know, and it's not going to mention it in the catalogue. Jesus Christ, how can they screw up a thing as simple as a bag of vegetables?
