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)

the duck I’m wondering what they are doing with that
They need it to get in a row with some others if they ever divorce.

There’s always one with a superiority complex OP.

I wonder if anyone has ever picked up my shopping list?

🤣

That list makes me twitch because it’s not in aisle order.

Duplicate post

I used to do a posh dinner party dish which involved duck with a whiskey and passionfruit sauce. It was lovely! Not with a dauphinoise though - too many clashing flavours.

Perhaps they were popping to Waitrose for the passionfruit? Or had a leftover wizened one in the fruit bowl?

I like the look of that list, except the cat litter. And whisky, though DH would drink that.
Love twin snakes but if I buy them I eat the packet in one go, so I don't.

I left ours in the trolley.

I'll let you know if it appears here!! 😉

I tried to post a pic @CountryShepherd but I cannot get it to load, sorry. Searching 'Haribo Twin Snakes' does bring up a picture or two, if you're interested. 😂

Not anymore apparently. Someone got royally chewed out a while ago for posting one. Feeling nostalgic for when it twas fields here .... Or feeling old not quite sure.

This response really made me laugh.

I see that poster hasn't been back since

Or the dedicated facebook group for found shopping lists.

How weird that I'm currently sitting munching on a packet when I came across this post!

@RockyRogue1001 I am still alive and here thanks - have been out and about and catching up.

Fair play, if you all like discussing a strangers really normal shopping list. TBF the original post was centred around not understanding what Twin Snakes were. I didn’t know either so googled it. I wondered why op didn’t.

Do please go ahead and continue the discussion around why there’s no san pro products on a strangers list, I won’t interrupt.

I just found a packet in the cupboard, while looking for something else!

that’s really nasty, it’s a traditional Mumsnet “thing” a nice shopping list discussion, a quick google might tell you that too love?

Lots of alcohol, cheese, crumble and sweets, sounds like a great night in.

You're missing the point entirely - its not a fact finding mission.

It's an opportunity for a bit of whimsy, some potentially imaginative interpretations from a random list found in Tesco - something that so many posters excel at.

Honestly I'm a bit disappointed that we're talking Haribo here. I was hoping for something funnier with perhaps some mild innuendo along the way.

But as you're the strictly literal type, this has been proven to be not your sort of thread at all

Is anyone else slightly twitchy about the fact that it's been written across the lines rather than along them?

Yes. Roast duck with a delicious gratin and broccoli.

Wish I knew where they lived. I'm in

I can tell you it's in the South West - but for security reasons, that's probably as close as I can get!

I once left one with milk; bread; cat food; exercise bike.

Sadly there were no reported findings. [glum]

You said the Twin Snakes had 'got me foxed', hence the replies. Apologies for answering your question.

You said ‘the twin snakes have got me foxed.’ So I told you what they were. Now you’re accusing me of being a ‘strictly literal’ type of person as I should have responded with some sexual innuendo

This is so bizarre
