Novelty Nibbles

So, CG and I love to find humorous foods, especially at holiday time. A few years back, we gifted my sister and brother-in-law a gorgeous basket filled to the brim with Spotted Dick. Well, maybe not just Spotted Dick, there were sardines and other curiously marinated and sauced food items in there as well. I guess we went crazy in the international food aisle at Cost Plus World Markets.

Yet, sometimes, I find humorous foods with no gifting purpose and no CG with which to giggle. So I purchase the items to share my whimsy with CG. Right now, to that purpose, we have many little cans of "potted meat." I just found the name had such whimsy and the cans call hither images of cat vittles for miniature Siamese kittens.

So now, the joke's over and I don't know what to do with said items. I can't throw them away because kids are starving in Africa. So I ask you dear citizens, is it okay to give them to my son's weekly pre-school food drive? Each week, the kids are asked to bring in a can food item at his crunchy coop pre-school, when I work. Then the teachers closes her eyes and then guesses the food. She often shakes the can. Afterwards, she sings a song with the food item in it. She claims she has a ready-made song in her mind for any canned food imaginable. Would it be inappropriate to send in the "Spotted Dick?" I can hear her ditty now in my mind, and 'tis not good!

So, until it's decided, the before mentioned sister and brother-in-law will be our Christmas house guests and I know what Santa is going to put in their stockings.
