Niklas is a big fan of fish and chips, but that's not the only British culinary delight available here in Bermuda. We also have access to what is apparently Her Majesty's Equivalent to this. If the "Heinz" brand makes you doubt that this is indeed a truly British product, I will refer you to the fact that there are instructions for how to heat it up on the hob. I'm pretty sure that means stove, but I was unsure enough to make use of the microwave directions instead. Hob or no, will this product meet the high standards of the man who tried to make cupcakes using dishwater? Let's find out.

So, here it is, the Heinz Bob The Builder pasta-ish concoction.

A pull top lid makes it popular with me, anyway.

Well, that didn't take long.

I'm dedicated to making sure that Niklas gets as much of a cultural experience as possible while we're overseas.

Appetizing! For other people, possibly!

It looks marginally better heated and stirred. I bet it would look even better if I used a hob.

Niklas looks as though he could use some convincing.

Here, Niklas is trying to negotiate a trade of Her Majesty's Finest for a hotdog or something.

The final verdict, then? Less popular than I may have hoped.
