Trust me...it's
better than it looks. The bemuddlement Chefs performed wonders
on this one. |
|
| Where
to find it |
Very tricky,
requires major expeditionary exercise to Tesco's and then a tricky Aisle
mechanism. This particular specimen was found in the Vegetarian section,
although we feel it may have migrated from aisle 14 to 28, due to a
disgruntled hunter finding some rather tasty smoked tofu pieces.
|
| Likelyhood
of finding |
Exceptionally
rare. Tesco's are generally situated in inaccessible outer regions of
suburban housing estates. Vegetarian food is scattered throughout in the
store. be prepared to scan all chill cabinets. This particular specimen
was captured at 1pm on a expedition for more filter coffee for a
particularly heavy caffeine consumption meeting. It was lovingly kept in a
works supplied refrigeration unit, that hasn't been sanitised for at
least 12 years..... 4 rare breeds of bacteria were found in the refrigerator
perma-frost (which have since proved that life can exist on Mars). Other
items in that environment consisted of an 18 month old carton of Long Life orange juice
and salvaged cans of Tango from an unwanted business lunch.

| Complimentaries |
We decided
to go for Sainbury's Extra Strong Garlic Bread....as the use by date was
six days ago.

| Serving
Suggestion |
Rice to the
side, or Vesta Curry 'edge style'. Bemuddlement plumped for the latter. |
| Ideal
Viewing/Listening |
An unusual
dish requires unusual audio/visual accompaniment. Bemuddlement recommends
the superb DVD edition of Talking Heads live epic "Stop Making Sense"....lovingly
recreated by a team of Swiss-Nippon digital meister-crafters in a
dust-free engineering environment just outside Zurich. David Byrne's suit
never looked so crisp.
