I just wonder if they had lost all their flavour by the time you bought them.

 

Manufacture date is given as 15th November 2019; best before date is given as 15th November 2023. So precise. I'm surprised they don't list what time on the 15th Nov, 2023. And which time zone are these dates based on? Presumably Bavarian Standard Time.

 

I think the lack of vinegar flavour may just be because I'm used to more robust flavours and I think most British pickled beets use malt vinegar rather than the spirit vinegar used here. Spirit vinegar is noted for its range of strength.

Anyway, I live and learn. Won't buy these again and, in the meantime, I've checked the tracking on my delivery of fresh beets and they should be here tomorrow or next day. They are coming from the opposite side of China.
