I won this as third prize in our office Christmas raffle. !xmas! The ticket cost me just 50p. It's a good job I like haslet because I'll be eating all these thick slices of haslet from now until the new year. !thumbsup!

I quite like the Haslet myself Trumpton but find after 3 or 4 slices that it does get a bit sickly and I cannot face anymore of the stuff, especially when you get that Plastacine textured effort ... so fuck knows how you are going to munch your way through all this gear - Pity you can't freeze it eh??
It will make a nice change from the Turkey Sarnies ...

Where do you work, Trumpy? An abattoir in Ramsbottom?

You could always head down to your local soup kitchen and become a
King for a day

Nothing worse than over eating during X-mas especially cold meat

December = 2 stone heavier....january = exercise hell ;-)

I've managed to chomp my way through about a dozen slices so far. Haslet is very dry, so I've been told to keep it moist (ooer), and not to put it in the fridge as that'll make it even drier.

I asked down at our local Salvation Army hut whether they wanted to take 50 or so slices for the people who they have over the festive period. They thought I was joshing with them, I said I was serious, but they weren't interested.

Bloody hell, I can't even give it away!

Yup - I couldn't believe they turned away a donation - albeit a slightly strange one. I thought they could have used it in one of their Christmas food parcels.
