Food Count Sunderland 24/08

For your consideration I present a beautifully packaged tin of Heinz Ravioli, which was famously selected by Reginald Perrin for each of the three courses of his intended Last Supper, at his favourite Italian Restaurant.

I want to know how many whole pieces of Ravioli are in the tin and the weight of the jooooooooosy goop that It is enclosed within. 10 points for an exact guess, if nobody guesses exactly then 5 points will be awarded to the nearest guess/es.

Drainage will commence at 1pm on Saturday at which time the window for guessing will shut.

Come on you counters let’s keep this great start rolling and massacre the Mackems.

Up the Mighty Clarets, come what may.

Well Claretmisterg, you've got me flumoxed here as I have never eaten these nor seen such a tin. So, absolutely guesswork.

40 pasta parcels
110 mg of sauce, (am thinking some sauce will remain attached to the pasta)

Thanks for the count.

Pleased to see your last minute entry, Zooniverser, which means we have 14, rather than 13, entries. Not that I’m superstitious.

Anyway, drainage has commenced. No more entries accepted.
