Title: Things not to say to the canteen staff #3 - Iffits
Post by: Grumpmeister on March 07, 2008, 02:38:13 PM
Went into the canteen today and saw they had iffits on the menu. Walked up to the counter and looked at this tray of mystery bits of meat and said "iffits recognised I get a prize?"

BTW can anyone tell me what an iffit actually is, I dont think it would be a good idea if I went back in to ask....  whistle:

In fact it is a variety of "E-fit", where a policeman will help the coroner build up a picture of the animal that killed you with food poisoning.

Avoid.

I did actually chicken out (no pun intended), I'd originally planned on asking "iffits not moving does that mean its ready to eat?". The canteen manager sharpening the large cleaver in the background made it seem like a bad idea.  noooo:

“Iffits” - a Norfolk version of tapas to replace the British staple of crisps and nuts - including Beef Dripping, sea salt and toast (£1.50); Sweet cured herring fillets (£2.50) or a plate of Piggy Pieces which could include potted ham, crackling, pork cheese and more (from £4.50 for one pig to £14 for four pigs).

None of those sound like anything resembling whatever they were shoving into pitta bread in the canteen I'm afraid Wenchy.







Actually what really worries me is that there are a couple of colleagues who havent been seen in a couple of days......  scared2:

It can also refer to a mish mash of items. Ifits in the fridge eat it, ifits there, eat it.
