Spam filters in the chilled foods section
Thursday, November 20, 2008
Today, for the first time in ages, I was in a Sainsbury's supermarket. I used to shop there quite often but these days I don't get there much. There are two main reasons. First off the big branch, i.e. the good one, is miles away from where I live now. There is a smaller Sainsbury's local near me but it's a deathtrap.
You think I'm kidding, but this is what happened about a month ago when I was there:
that's right. The ceiling fell down and almost took out that lady. Nice. I've only been back once since but I left pretty quick. I think even Evel Knievel probably just wanted his groceries when he popped to the supermarket. Thanks Sainsbury's but I can live without the adrenaline rush of cheating imminent death every time I buy food.
Anyway, back to the point. Today I was in the big Sainsbury's. The one which, I assume, actually has a stable ceiling. As I was cruising around with my trolley, checking out the merch (new Tropicana blood orange/normal orange mix? Sounds like it might be worth trying sometime but for now I'll stick to pure Sanguinello - don't see much point in reducing the awesome content), something caught my eye. It appeared that Sainsbury's were actually selling a Spam Filter in the chilled meats section. Obviously I had to back up and find out what the hell was going on.
It turns out that what I had (mis)read as it fleeted through my peripheral vision was 'Spam Fritters'. Which of course isn't particularly exciting but I have to admit it does make a lot more sense.
