In case there is a turkey shortage in shops across Gedling borough this year, you’ll be relieved to know Heinz has the answer – Christmas dinner in a tin.
The tinned meal consists of pigs in blankets, “big chunks” of turkey, Brussel sprouts, sage and onion stuffing, roast potatoes, red cabbage, gravy, and cranberry sauce, all crammed into a 400g aluminum tin – sounds depressing!
The canned Christmas dinner is being marketed by Heinz as an answer to the food shortages the UK is currently experiencing, with the soup brand championing it “a winner”.
Listed for sale online only, it has been released as a limited edition of just 500 cans – with the company already hinting it could roll it out in greater numbers if it proves a hit with shoppers.
Given that it’s already sold out online since going live this morning, that may well end up being the case.
Brand representative Anke Von Hanstein said: “It is made for those with a big love for hearty festive flavours and tastes just perfect with a slice of warm crusty bread.
“Any soup that includes pigs in blankets and roasties is a winner in our eyes.”
