Yum Yum
We received an order of patch cables and cable management at work today, and it came with a Christmas hamper. Now there are certain things you would expect in a hamper, and certain things you would expect at a food collection for the less-well-off amongst us. Maybe our supplier thinks that we’ve spent so much money buying cables off of them that we can’t afford to buy staple foods for ourselves.
I was tempted to run this as a game of “guess which of these aren’t in our hamper, but it’s too funny for that – everything below was in our Christmas hamper. Even the sardines.
So in full:
can of fruit cocktail
can of corned beef
jar of baby beetroot
fruit cake
jar of pickled onions
can of mixed vegetables
tin of tuna
packet of kettle chips
packet of jelly
chocolate orange
packet of choc chip cookies
can of orange segments
packet of custard powder
packet of shortbread fingers
box of mint creams
bag of assorted toffee
box of teabags
can of new potatoes
can of lentil soup
can of chicken casserole
can of whole carrots
tin of pork luncheon meat
packet of cashew nuts
tin of sardines
christmas pudding
jar of pickle spreadables
can of prunes
jar of strawberry jam
I’ve got my eye on the luncheon meat and pickle spreadables for a snack later…
1) I cannot believe that you actually went to the trouble of typing out that list.
2) What, no Turkey?

1) Slow day, y’know
2) Nope
3) I cannot believe your list doesn’t start from Zero…
