Oh, they are genuine products - but check carefully when they arrive, the manufacturer has been known to ship empty boxes... 
(A bit like MiniScribe did with HDDs in the late 1980's before going bust when it was found out that house bricks don't hold data well.)

I've never actually tried a rémoulade, what with mayonnaise and anchovies being very high on my list of unfavourite food-stuffs, but I expect I'd enjoy it somewhat more than processed cheese with a topping of ink!

I'm going to print Cheasus on mine and sell it on fleabay to get rich before the sheep figure out anyone can do this.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

That was the time we finally got the heating and hot water sorted. After tripping the boiler because there was too much air in the heating loop and wiring in the thermostat for the hot water the wrong way round, we finally got everything working at 2:30 am.
Then the plumber hit a neighbour's car pulling out of the parking.
After 4 hours sleep, I'm up and in Londinium for a client meeting. Nothing important, just a planning meeting with their new CTO...

Thinking about it, even "alleged consumables" might be an over-complimentary choice of words!

Nearly 30 years ago I remember having a meeting when someone suggested using floating points for amounts. At that point all ledger amounts where stored as two numbers 12 digits for the value and 2 for decimal places, so £5.67 would be 00000000056702. It worked and going floating point would have introduced more pain than gain.

give them 56 cents and wait for the change.
actully on a similar note many asian shops are dropping the 2nd decimal on prices. Something that used to be expressed as say $5.60 (coffee at some shops) now shown as $5.6 (yeah I know Japan has long only used 1 dp. Here in Singapore they dropped the 1c from general circulation but we still have 5c coins - banks though still use 1c if for instance closing an account - still legal tender.
I find not writing the 2dp is just laziness, and at the local eating houses coffee only cost $1.00 and usually tastes better then the stuff the lazy folks make.
