To the reader of this letter:
I am writing to you because I purchased two of your Hormel Compleats Roast Beef and Gravy with mashed potatoes and I have a problem with them. I have bought and eaten your Chicken with Mashed Potatoes and Turkey with Stuffing which I've had no problem. But your roast beef product tastes extremely unpleasant, as if the "gravy" were 90 weight machine oil.
But that's not true; the gravy and the mashed potatoes were okay; it was the roast beef itself that tasted bad. At first I thought it was expired but as the enclosed package shows, it expires April 2012. It had a horrid "machine" taste that made me think the product had been used first as a gasket in a motor or something. Or to put it bluntly, as if it had been used before then retrieved and this was its second use.
This was the second of two I bought, I figured maybe it was a problem with the first one, so I decided to try it again, but I discovered the second one tasted just as bad as the first. Basically both tasted identical, they were exactly the same and both were equally bad.
I would like your company to send me a refund of $4.50 to cover the cost of the product plus mailing this letter. (I can't use coupons; the store doesn't accept them.)
Sincerely Yours,
