News regarding Bulldogs major sponsor: Mission Foods

[bulldogtragic]

Last night looking for a quick food idea, with minimal effort (it was my night to cook) I purchased a Mission Burrito pack, including tortia, spices and chunky salsa.

I also liked the symetry with the dogs playing. But mainly, that it was quick and easy.

Got to say the flavours and spices were far better than the current mexican food dominating brand who package their products in a yellow box. I was always going to buy them as a gesture in support for their support to the club, but their food and spices is bloody good.

$6 gets you 10 tortias, a massive amount of spices (probably double of the competition) and a heap of salsa. Add some chicken, lettuce and hallipienos and sour cream and you're there. And a carona.

If you haven't tried their product I recommend giving it a go, they are priced well and the food is so much better than we have currently had to choose from. It's a win-win as essentially a percentage of every sale goes back to the club while you eat some decent food.

If anyone has tried their other offerings, please post.

Haha.. "News"?

I bought some of their flat/pita breads the other week and was suitably impressed.

[Raw Toast]

We enjoyed their tacos the other night :)

I've having them tonight, Multigrain Tortillas with a our own fajita recipe.

The burritos wouldn't separate when we bought them but they were nice.

Put them on a hot pan or sandwich press. Not sure if the microwave works as well.
We had the same issue as there were no proper instructions on full fajita kits but there are on the tortilla packs.

Stupid Newmarket Safeway doesn't have the packs, but they are now stocking teh flatbreads.

Mission seem to be much higher quality than their competitors so I will definately stick with them. Best Mexican flatbreads on the market, I haven't had any sticking problems at all and there's a slight amount of ballooning in parts when flash-heated on a super hot frypan/wok which is always good.

[Go_Dogs]

I've been searching, and having a mate who reps at supermarkets looking for the products. I emailed Mission last week, and received information regarding which stores had a full range of products. Have yet to try them out, but it's on the radar for the next week or two.

[LostDoggy]

The flatbreads are available in the fresh bread section.

[LostDoggy]

I know that my old work (a mexican restaraunt) now uses Mission products.
I haven't tried any as of yet, but definately on the to do list.

[LostDoggy]

Had the burritos tonight for celebration with lots of avacado, very good indeed, very different flavour to the other brand, probably more authentic. Yum!

[Cyberdoggie]

I've also seen some mission lebanese bread around and I believe there may even be corn chips?


I regularly scoff down the tortillias. They are pretty good.

I think Mission foods would be the first Western Bulldogs major sponsor that i have consumed or purchased.

Can't remember buying any East West Jeans, didn't get any ICI insurance, Orica Energy, no Vodafone's, and I didn't get a car with LeasePlan.

ICI were a chemical company.
I saw you in acid wash strech Faberge from Eastcoast jeans.

I used to wear the Eastcoast zipper jeans and I got a Vodaphone mobile (and disconnected it when they left). My local coles has just started stocking mission products so will pick some up this week.

I went to a Peter Jackson to get a suit when it was advertised that there was a 15% off for WB members, and the old guy/manager at the store was uber-dodgy.. kept trying to upsell rubbish, there were no pricetags on their merchandise so he was just throwing me quotes from his @r$e, and then wouldn't honour the 15%discount, claiming it was 15 DOLLARS off even though I showed him the ad, which is quite different when you're potentially paying thousands for a suit. Walked out of the store without getting anything.. put me off the brand entirely.

[LostDoggy]

I just ate my first mission product- a chicken tortilla, mmm yum!

Did it give you wind?:o

We had a Pyrox heater as a kid,27 years later still going. Had the Eastcoast sweat top [in bulldog colors] Purchased Mission Burritto's a few times. Family suitably impressed much thicker than old el paso.

I scored the multigrain gear a few weeks ago myself, not bad.

Have seen Mission boxes behind the counter @ Salsas Mexican Grill in Northlands while wating for my meal recently

I feel compelled to share my bad news story from Peter Jackson as well - this was about 6 years ago and I'm still adamant I'm never buying a thing from them.

Was looking for a new suit at the time, and saw a rack that said 'From $300' which I started browsing through...store guy comes to me asking 'so is $300 your price range?' 'Oh if I found a nice suit my size for the price yeah sure' I reply

Still can't believe what came out of his mouth next....'Well maybe you should go accross the road to Casual Guy if that's what you're looking to spend'

Never, never ever again will I walk into Peter Jackson store - I hope these two negative word of mouth stories (now communicated to a much wider audience than before which makes me laugh) can sway as many people away as possible

I concur.....the mutligrain tortillas are great. Seeing as my Mrs is a bit of a health nut, its sometimes difficult to get that sort of stuff

We make fajitas, burritos etc, the mission products are very good...!!

Whilst hardly the pinnacle of customer service, assuming you didn't head over to Casual Guy to spite them the moron unwittingly did you a favour...Peter Jackson suits are the definition of crap. Look crap, feel crap, are crap.

There's a few things in life one shouldn't do on the cheap...suits are one of them, unless you're a student or a real estate agent.

I'm sorry but that has made my morning :D

[bornadog]

Saw a guy tonight at the supermarket checking out the burritos from that other brand, I almost went up to try and sell him MISSION, but stopped myself:D

[soupman]

Speaking of sponsors products I served Matthew Boyd tonight at Coles and he bought at least 6 bottles of Powerade. Just thought I'd throw that useless bit of info in there:D

Agreed (and the agent call is pretty funny)

I've stayed local (in Reservoir) and ran with Stafford Ellinson wool blend suits, reasonably standard fare, gets the job done.
