Only the Blue Dragon is worth it anyway, the other two have “water, sugar” as their first two ingredients. Blue Dragon at least has Red Chillies as the second ingredient. You get what you pay for. KTC might be the cheapest but its almost 50% sugar water
Edit: lol, no accounting for taste then I guess, just shovel the cheapest shite onto your plate. No wonder we get such a bad rep for our food.
So much better value stuff in the foreign foods section.
There’s loads of examples of this – sriracha is one that spring to mind, but there’s loads of others too
I can kind of understand though. Specifically foreign brands all kept in one section so they’re easier to find or all mixed in with the UK brands. Both have pros and cons
I only think either is objectively better than the other, as long as it’s consistent.
One of the most useful apps I’ve ever seen is the Tesco one that tells you which aisle you can find specific products. I know I can ask someone, but fuck me if they’re not moving where they put stuff weekly in my local one.

You’d be surprised how many brands are owned by AB World Foods (https://www.abf.co.uk/our-businesses/a-z-finder#/) or Premier (https://www.premierfoods.co.uk/About-Us/OurBrands.aspx). KTC is owned by a venture capital company who owns a lot of other things: https://endlessllp.com/investments/.
