your meat needs colmans
hmm, interesting idea, but yuk! apparently, it took over 18 hours to cook and put together by food stylist peta o'brian and consisted of The ad features the following: breaded ham, chorizo, beef, carpaccio, bresola, ginger pig bacon, beef skirt, roast duck, chicken breast, brisket, pepperami, fllet steak, sausages, beef steak, bacon joint, leg of lamb, plus duck wings for the ears. talk about playing with your food?! i think this could very possibly put me off eating meat for a while, although quite intruiging in a rough kind of a way to work out which meat is which. one thing though, why oh why, do brands find the need to place their logo in the the most offensive colour schemes and places, surely they had enough branding with the giant colmans?! there must have been a better place to have hidden it?
