Over the several shopping trips to Migros, I had:

- Rotten onions
- Rotten garlic
- Rotten strawberries

Nothing like this in Coop, Denner or Manor ever.

Any thoughts?

Don't shop at Migros then.

Could be just a poorly run Migros branch. I've had good results.

What olygirl said: There are branches badly run. It changes when the manager changes. Seen it, worn the t-shirt .... I stopped visiting one of those for about two years, when I went back it was completely different.

As to the onions: I noticed that too. I had several that were rotten. But on the inside (earliest 3rd or 4th layer). That is a PITA! But I have to admit, just like for me, this was impossible for Migros to see/know. They were perfect on the outside, I blame the weather.

You should contact the Migros customer service. They are really helpful, try to solve problems and sometimes even offer a voucher..

Well, what I've noticed it all the frozen veggies and fruit in the fresh-veggie-fruit-department. And the craziest things, what the heck?!

The Zucchetti - okay. But the watermelons? And the fruits?
And to top it today: The Avocados??!! I thought they were meant to ripe on their way here? No wonder they're rock hard still (after defrosting before someone gets smart )

If I want this stuff frozen, I get it from the freezer. This I will definitely check out with Migros customer service when I got time and I'm in the mood.

I hope you inform the Migros customer services department and not just EF?

You think there isn't a mole reading our posts?

What on Earth is a Zucchetti?

for someone mostly vegan you are not very educated in vegetables.
Zuccheti = Courgette

Education doesn't come into it; Curley meant to write zucchini (no t), which is american-speak for courgette.

Zucchetti seems to be an italian software company.

you have to learn by experience which branch is bad and avoid it in the future. In general I don't buy, any discounted vegetables/fruits, they might be fine but most often they are already rotten inside or are going to within hours. I don't know how do they know when to discount them

I have 1 Mirgros and 2 Coop branches on my to avoid list.

What is the relation between your post and garlic, onions and strawberries?

Actually I didn't, I was just lazy and wrote it the Swiss-German way. But you are correct in thinking that had I bothered to use the English term for it, I would have written zucchini. Courgettes do not even exist in my voccabulary.

A little help for those who live only for a week or two in the German part of Switzerland.

Bring it back and ask for refund, complain so that maybe it gets better, otherwise shop elsewhere.
By the way zucchetti is a swiss german term.

Zucchini that were harvested late, that gave them the time needed (probably a couple weeks) to grow into zucchetti.
It is indeed part of Swiss German, but just like zucchini the word sounds very Italian to me. Both's spelling follows Italian rules.

German for zucchini.

[QUOTE=Anjela;3337625] Zucchini is the Italian word, courgette is French.

The correct word is summer squash.

P.S. Even zucchini are from the Americas.

The correct word in the U.K. is courgette.

We use lots of French words in the U.K. and they use some of ours such as Le Weekend !

Zucchin is what Swiss-Germans turn into when they pass through Airolo
