It's a shopping list! Twin Snakes??

[CountryShepherd]

Duck sounds rather posh.

Quite standard otherwise, very specific on the chocolate choice - Minstrels.

Ginger, lemon, whiskey - someone has a cold?

Twin Snakes has me foxed - some sort of family shorthand? (eg we call breaded cod pieces 'fish hands' - i.e larger than fish fingers)

Twin snakes are Haribo. Pretty boring list

A 2 second google could answer your question rather than soliciting the view of a forum surely.

Yes. Twin snakes is weird!

I tried that....got a bunch of stuff about the game Metal Gear Solid!!LOL😅

Haribo make a particular sweetie called Twin Snakes - sort of sour jelly in bright colours and stuck together in pairs. Google should bring up some images.

Do you feel better for that?

Hahahaha I was literally like surely this is about Metal Gear Solid 😂

feel pretty neutral tbh

My kids love twin snakes!

I've been around here a long time and in the past a found shopping list has usually been a bit of a topic for general chat.

You're absolutely right. Ive learned my lesson - thank you for pointing out my stupidity and sincere apologies for wasting your precious time.

My DC's are well past the Haribo age - I used to be quite well up on the whole range!

My kids like haribo but I hate sweets and wouldn’t have a clue!

the duck I’m wondering what they are doing with that.

It’s a Mumsnet thing, posting shopping lists. At least it used to be, back before it all got a bit serious.

Good list OP, the writer had very clear writing and I think the high % of booze! 😄

I love a list!

interesting cat litter is only non consumable, what about san pro, loo roll, fairy liquid?
I think the first few items are for a gratin?

I reckon they’re having some kind of duck dish, with potatoes dauphinoise and broccoli. And presumably guests too, given the wine/whisky/port!

I also thought we all loved a shopping list. How ironic that this one attracted the vipers. Probably sours as well. Well I liked it and am seeing a 1980s style dinner party and trying to see how the chillies fit in. Surely its quicker to make crumble than buy it?

Agree, I think a ‘kitchen supper’ dinner party. Either chicken or duck in a garlicky gingery marinade. Then with dauphinois or creamy potato puree, eg fancy mash, and broccoli.

I thought they needed snake’s butter 😁

My Mum loves a thing called Duck - it’s a bread/cake thing. With sultanas and a topping of white icing. I have no idea why it’s called Staffords Iced Duck.

Are you new here?

It isn’t a bit duck like.

Why are people such miseries on these threads now? The last shopping list thread people accused the OP of being abelist because the list writer could have been dyslexic 🙄

I was thinking it was some iteration of ‘twix’ and an incorrect spelling for snacks/ snax!!!

I love twin snakes

The UK doesn't have a lot of the Haribo varieties that exist tbh. I have tried Twin Snakes but they're just so so imho.
