Whilst celebrating my birthday at a chinese restaurant recently, I realised I had become a victim of the dreaded syndrome warned about by parents across the land: my eyes had grown bigger than my belly. Although the poor, overstretched appendage could hold no more of the delicious monosodium glutomate feast before me, I was loathe to give up so easily. My determination to adhere to the time-hallowed adage 'waste-not, want-not' was fierce, especially after reading the ominous warning on the menu: 'all food not eaten MUST be paid for'.
Any memories of ensuing events of that evening are fittingly hazy (it was my birthday!) however a few days later I looked in my bag and was pleased to discover a sweaty triangle of seasame prawn toast nestling amongst my keys, which I ate (much to the disgust of boyfriend and part-time 'carer', Joshabeth). It had matured slightly, and had developed quite a full and fishy flavour.
For those of you who are inspired by this little anecdote, I recommend that you too store any delicious leftover morsels in one of Primarks' brightly coloured handbags. The more prudish over-orderer might want to consider wrapping food in tissue (asking for a doggy bag = social death) before bagging, but don't worry too much about this; the small zip compartments that come as standard in most Primark bags are almost as leak-proof as Tupperware (or at least Addis) and the high content of synthetic materials eliminate potential seepage of any sauce-based edibles, such as curry or cauliflower cheese.
Below: Two Primark budget beauties from this season and last winter; I've got the red one, it broke. Apparently ladylike handbags are going to go off big time this autumn. Add a twist to your arm candy with a fishy whiff, guaranteed to turn heads wherever you go!
