Iceland No Turkey Christmas Dinner, £3
Iceland NoTurkey Christmas Dinner
Perhaps you were put into cryosleep and launched in a space rocket to Mars, but when you awoke in 2118 all the other crew were dead. On Christmas Day you found something – a microwave Christmas dinner loaded in the supplies a century ago. And it was supposed to make you feel festive joy, but in your solitary, fragile state you stare sadly at the fake chicken pieces, the weird bits of parsnip and floating cranberries in the water that isn’t gravy so much as brown, chemical-flavoured seepage, and it feels like the final straw.
You eat the meal alone, at your intergalactic monitor in a party hat, quietly grateful it doesn’t make you more upset by reminding you of actual food.
This feels like that.
Oh well never mind.
