Slimming World


Slimming World Magazine.

A strange one this. Is it a shopping list if it is only one item and why does it have the price.

Found by Dr. J, Sainsbury’s Newbury.

Posh Coffee


Cat food, cat litter, fruit juice, milk, tinned fruit and evap, posh coffee, bleach, disinfectant.

Such a short list but what a pleasure. 

What is posh coffee, are we talking Nescafé gold blend here?

Tinned fruit and evap is a new combination, this is the first time I have seen evaporated milk on a list.

Tiny Pork Pies


Bread, salad stuff, baguette, cheese, marmite, sausage rolls, tiny pork pies, Kellogg’s, bacon, toilet rolls, salt and rinse, lager.

Unusual to see Kellogg’s written a brand, rather than the cereal type.

What is salt + rinse?  Is it this? Colgate salt rinse

There are no obvious meals to be cooked here.

Dog ham?

Makeup remover pads, gaviscon, crisps, egg fried rice x 2, chocolate, linguine, prawn crackers, Bombay potatoes, chicken, cereal bars, rolls, bread, white wine, eggs, yoghurts, cold meat, dog ham, orange juice, grated cheese, sausage rolls, chicken, cucumber, bananas, fruit, mushrooms, jackets, ice creams, garlic bread, chair, chocs for Ruth.

Note how Rob gets four of his own yoghurts and Ruth is going to get some chocolates.  12 eggs is rather a lot and what is dog ham?

This is a useful reference on the subject:

canigivemydog.com/ham

Maybe the owner was trying to recreate:

Independent: Dog with ham on its face tricks people on Facebook into praying for ‘burns recovery’

 

 

Sweet Pots x 2


Sweet Potatoes, strawberries 450, double cream, meringue nests, white vinegar,  cannellini beans.

The 450, probably meaning grammes, after strawberries suggests a recipe called for a certain quantity. Eton mess maybe?

Note the NHS note paper, this person probably works for the NHS.
