I just heard that on the radio. It's currently33 degrees outside and the retailers are already putting gingerbread and speculoos back on the shelves.
What do you think, is it annoying or are you happy?

The article is in the FAZ today
Doesn't bother me.
The speculoos cream from Lotus was also put on the shelves and is available all year round because it was requested by customers!
Cologne is also celebrating its sixth season this weekend. The first carnival of the summer. The restaurateurs will be happy when € are exchanged for beer! ?

...I don't like it, the world is getting crazier and crazier ?

Speculoos and gingerbread really don't have to be.
On the other hand, I have no problem with the Chilbi/Märt items, such as Magenbrot!
Magenbrot is a gingerbread cookie, but it's something else, isn't it?
I also have no problems with game, the hunting season starts on?
I think the hunting season has already started in some places.
And a tummy loaf like this is simply delicious!
Autumn will soon be knocking on the door!

I realized this recently with the competition. I'm not a fan of gingerbread and speculoos. And they're all much too early for my taste. As a matter of principle, I don't buy Spanish nuts and clementines before December.
However, my LAG can hardly wait until the gingerbread hearts are available again. He then eats a year's supply. However, he prefers the ones from Denner (best value for money) or even the ones from Coop. He doesn't find the filled hearts from Migros so tasty. And that as a genuine Migros child whose mother worked at Migros for decades.

I also believe that seasonal products should be sold at the appropriate time and not 3 months in advance. The same applies to plants: Why, for example, are ornamental pumpkins already on sale now? These should be planted from around mid-October and not when the weather is bright and sunny. If you plant them now, you won't be able to enjoy them all winter long. Why are Primeli already on sale from November? Have you ever planted a Primeli on the balcony or in the garden border in November/December? They are ruined after the first night of frost.
Therefore, a request to Migros: Please don't start adding goods to the range earlier and earlier before the actual season (so that the products are still available at the right time). Thank you very much.

"Many consumers want to do the right thing, but buy the wrong thing: consumers' seasonal knowledge is poor, according to a study by WWF Switzerland.
500 test subjects were asked about the cherry, grape, bean and tomato seasons. The result: only one in two people knew the ripening time of cherries and grapes, and only one in three knew about tomatoes. When it came to beans, two thirds were correct.
The discrepancy between this result and the laudable intention is striking: almost one in two respondents stated that they always pay attention to the season when shopping; a further 40 percent allegedly do so sometimes."

your article is once again completely out of place here, it was about something completely different!
Gingerbread, speculoos and stuff like that belong in the rack at the beginning of November at the earliest

I was leaning towards something else, because for me the enjoyment of delicious food is more important than the season (hence the profile picture). ?
But I can also understand those for whom it's different, and see some compromise possibilities (BTW: if the products were sold so little, they wouldn't be sold so early - would they?).
As for Migroleum's comment, I agree with rebell.

If the season was so important to me, I would probably have to do without it altogether ...
For me, winter food also includes snow.

If you want to have certain seasonal items all year round, you can store them at home.
In January, I stock up on cinnamon stars, almond speculoos and reduced chocolate fondant mice (tree decorations) to last me through the year. At the end of the Easter period, I buy reduced chocolate bunnies and store them in the cellar. And then there are the little pannetones, of which I buy and store about 20 a year.
At the end of the carnival season, I buy a few packs of carnival chocolates, but you can't store them for that long. When will they be available again? They should be available all year round.
