not the only oriental in the village

i can spend hours and hours in tescos wandering the aisles feeling like i am in a slightly parallel universe - not as insane as japan with its giant squid tentacles and auld land syne - but different enough to feel strange and disjointed.

on the weekend i discovered this:

the gentleman's relish! apparently gentlemen like their anchovy relish strong because it also comes with this warning:

i am yet to try it but i'm sure it will be a taste sensation. i'm hoping it's even better than anchovette! though i'm not sure if the manufactures name reflects the gentlemanly nature of the product.. sounds like a hidden body part to me.

meanwhile, walking down the high street this evening i noticed not only one but two other people of the oriental persuasion! chelmsford is a sophisticated hub of multiculturalism!

Unfortunately your image links don't work, so I'm left wondering what Gentleman's Anchovy Relish is like (and why anyone would want to make it or eat it). Is it anything like Men's Pocky?

I too am having difficulty viewing them. Perhaps it is ungentlemanly to reveal too much of oneself?

Not sure if you have since updated the images, but I can see them just fine. I never knew that gentlemen's relish had salty fish in it. I always thought it was some firey, tomato and chilli concoction. Wow, I learned something and I'm not even in your classroom!
