I still have no idea what this is... I recognise the packaging but cannot remember where from.
Housil would you like another tinned fruit cake? I think we stock them in work, if we don't I'll pick one up next time I go to a larger shop with my parents

I'll even include a packet of custard so you can have a real British Desert

The contents were divided into four units greatly, and a menu list and a sponge entered with a rose towards a bottom.
Try expanding the contents of all and this is just one belonged. You’ll see things quite abundant quantity.
2 packs of instant coffee beverage unit and six-pack of tea, a bag of cocoa powder and orange juice 25g more 08 packs 06 packs of sugar and creamer, six beef stock material in passing water
And sweetness is abundant, too, and a cookie mixes two kinds and a raisin nut glucose tablet (candy) raisin chocolate one, chocolate cookie two, caramel chocolate two. In addition four chewing gum (according to the menu, there seems to be the mint cake, too)
Many of main kinds are soup of cooking of the scrap beef, mashed potato, chicken soup and the mushroom in freeze dry. The dessert Hiroshi pear or an apple. There are the canned ham spread and oatmeal, too.
