Christmas Shopping List

A Christmas shopping list.

Vibrant pink paper.

Some seasonal Christmas food here. Parsnips, nuts, ingredients for trifle. Even Xmas is listed as an item.

The list is from Morrisons yet some items have been specified to be sourced from Costco, Salmon and Pepps (peppers?).

This person enjoys an abbreviation, mushs = mushrooms, pots = potatoes, rasps = raspberries.

Morrisons, December 2022

Red List

Lovely red pen on a plain piece of paper makes this list stand out from the crowd.

Not a major shop but rather a few required items. It looks like lasagne and salad was on the menu. Some fruit is listed and also shower gel.

Maris Piper

She wrote Maris Piper, he was confused or thought she was too pernickety and appended ‘spuds’? Different hand?

What else is happening here? A roast? A pickling session? Making chutney?

 Maris piper spuds, veg, cauliflower cheese, vinegar, smoked streaky bacon, bag sugar, Yorkshires.

Found Morrisons, Reading

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.
