Toothpaste tubes of food.

I'm getting into a routine of shopping now, so instead of blindly plowing on to find the bread etc. I can take my time and 'smell the daisies'. I've noticed a section with nothing but large 'toothpaste tubes'. On closer inspection they contain all kinds of things: various meats, fish pastes, mayonnaise, tomato paste and other stuff I haven't had a chance to look at. I kept noticing tubes with pictures of eggs on the front. I thought "well, how inventive of the Swiss- having their eggs in tubes!". Those are the mayonnaises..... I've bought mayo. and tomato paste so far, and one day will try meats and fish...... I hope it's not "fish-flavoured-food-product" type stuff.

I tried the mayonaise one at the Stockwells. I must say it was very yummy. Not too sure how the meat ones would taste. :)

Hi Emma,
My Aunt (who LOVES to cook Italian food) talked about getting tomato and anchovy paste in tubes the last time we visited her. Anyway, she is an awesome cook and says they are great, although I haven’t been brave enough to try anything that adventurous! Good luck, and let me know if you want me to hit my Aunt up for a recipe that uses fish paste...
