Gingerbread men
The big hit of tonight's A&S meeting was a pack of Sainsbury's gingerbread men.
One of the more amusing things that my sister bought me for Christmas was a pack of Sainsbury's ready-to-decorate, complete with decorating gel, gingerbread men. I was, she reasoned, not only the sort of person which such a thing would amuse, but also the sort of person who had friends would would also be amused. And she was right.
I brought them back with me and was quite impressed that they survived the journey intact. Tonight, then, when I was casting about for some nibbles to take to the A&S meeting my eye alighted on these - eight gingerbread men with appropriate indentations and two tubes of icing with which to fill them. They proved very popular, as you just don't get this sort of thing up here - nor, indeed, the boxes with biscuit mix and Smurf/Scooby-Doo/Hallowe'en cookie cutters. I may be forced to pick up a couple of these next time I'm in the UK just for the novelty value.
