Cheese and sardines

The legendary dining room accessory, indispensable for the host or hostess keen to impress with some real style. This was found a couple of years ago by ceridwen (no doubt in the animal welfare shop), and is so completely wonderful that neither we nor the previous owners could bring ourselves to remove the cellophane wrapper from the box. It was recently smuggled to Preston in a fish brick, appropriately enough, and then was brought to mind again by petehis' recent comments on boldsans' page.
