Deprived

The Missus, who knows well my predilection for exotic edible goods (and the havoc it plays with our kitchen cupboards), surprised me yesterday by presenting me with a Father's Day hamper of delicious comestibles. This basket of joy included, amongst other things:
  • "Patum Peperium" Gentleman's Relish (if you've never tried it, your life has been a howling void of gastronomic deprivation)
  • caramelised onion marmalade (the definitive condiment for a good sausage)
  • Mirin rice cooking wine (essential for quality Japanese cuisine)
  • fat green olives stuffed with anchovies (a personal favourite)
  • Leroy's Hot Mustard (no idea how she got this, I thought you could only buy it in South Africa)
  • Fentiman's Victorian Lemonade (none of that sugary fizzy crap, thankyou)
  • dark chocolate-coated ginger nuggets ('nuff said, really)
And I haven't been able to eat one bloody bite, because for the past five days I haven't moved more than ten feet from a toilet, on account of a vicious bout of gastroenteritis. Thanks, karma, your hilarious sense of irony bites me on the arse once again.

It was much like being, I would imagine, a eunuch who unexpectedly finds himself in the Playboy Mansion.
