Tesco Finest Jumbo Wedges

I have read both reviews that think this is a great product with surprise. I think these wedges are horrible! As I work in a bar, we have wedges that are deep fried, and taste very crispy, are cooked through a lot quicker, and go well with things like burgers or just as a snack on their own.
