Baked beans with sausages

[jack]

Darn it! I bought some baked beans in sainsbury's, and when I got home, I found I'd accidentally bought some that some well-meaning person had put dead pig in. Is there a food bank anywhere convenient which would take them? Or if anyone would eat them, they're welcome to them.

I feel silly because for the cost, I'd be happy to just throw them away, but it feels worse to waste food than waste other things that cost about the same effort to produce, even though not wasting food doesn't actually help anyone who needs it.

Hm, I don't really have a "I don't eat pig" icon.

Cambridge has a food bank, sadly, but they don't seem set up for single tin donations. (I am slightly squicked by their news item "we're so happy to have fed even more people this year" - ideally they wouldn't have to be feeding anyone, they are a sign of failure of the state safety net.) Anyway, they are http://cambridgecity.foodbank.org.uk/ for future reference. Also I will eat beans & pig. I could send Tony with uncontaminated beans to swap with you at the pub?

Oh, thank you, swapping would be a really good idea! I'm not at the Carlton this week, but I may bring them along next time I go and see if I can get anyone to take them, whether or not anyone has any to swap :)

And yes, well put about the food bank, they're doing a good thing, but it's still worrisome.
