Food & Grocery brussel sprouts

After almost giving up on ever finding any here i was overjoyed to find frozen sprouts in the city mall SM food market BUT that joy soon turned to disappointment.
When opening the bag i could see they had a brown tinge, after cooking i cut one open and the brown was right through and they did not taste right.
The story gets worse because i bought 2 bags and both the same.
The search goes on.

 

Similarly, I bought three bottles of US cabernet sauvignon (bottom shelf in the US) here on sale half price.
Too good to be true. I didn't check the year on the wine (2014). Turns out the wine was bad. Cheaper US red wine only ages well for a few years, certainly not 14. Waste of money.
Age is important with wine and women.

 

The sprouts i bought were use by November 2025.
The bag shows beautiful green, the real thing is different(see photos)
