    How does tinned stuff include potatoes?

    Have I been missing something?

    I would go for sweet chestnuts - handy for making nice stuffing or for baking.
    Quality Streets ( wouldn't be christmas without a tin of those)
    Rice pudding
    Chickpeas
    Hot dog sausages

    Yep, you can definitely get tinned potatoes ;)

    I will get the tubs of sweets and chocolates nearer the time just thinking of tinned stuff I can make a hamper up with for now.

    Funnily I bought Hot Dogs and Meatballs today :)

    Well if I was getting tins of stuff in for Christmas, it would more likely be those little tins of bacardi and coke (but perhaps that's just me:rotfl:)

    I need 17 more items to make my list up to 75 grocery products that will do nicely. :T

    I never thought about dry packet foods such as pasta's and rices :eek:

    (Not Pot Noodles though YUK!!)

    Well you learn something new everyday. That still leaves the question as to why would one buy potatoes in a tin.

    If you are including packets I would go for dried fruit.

    you have crisps twice on your list mansey

    how about:
    tins of sponge pudding - jammy/syrup/chocolate and spotty d.ick
    cashews
    cereal bars
    tins of fruit
    branston pickle
    ketchup
    brown sauce
    mayo/salad cream
    crackers
    cheesestraws
    honey
    toblerone
    fudge
    packs flavoured rice/couscous



    All hampers seem to include something that no one has ever heard of, so for a complete hamper experience you'll need to wander down the aisles and pick random stuff off the shelves.

    no prep or waste and a good size for single people etc. Food banks often ask for them as they can't give out fresh foods and the tines don't perish. Same as asking for smash.

    The tinned potatoes are actually pretty good for making potato salad or saag aloo with although the spuds have a tendency to explode.
