Thanks to Bert, from Peterborough, England, for another orphaned list he rescued, to give it a new home on my blog. Thank you, Bert (aka Peter).
This one poses a few difficulties in the deciphering department. I’ll leave most of it to you super-sleuths, but I claim Mozzaral as mine. I’m willing to share the Satsumers though. That reminds me of a sign I saw in a fruit and vegetable shop in Dismal Swamp. They were offering Pommy Granits. I never see those for sale without a flash back to that sign.
So, what do you think of this list? I’m off to put some mozzaral on my pizza.
I would have to decipher that one BEFORE my weehoursofthemorning margarita!

Argh! My apologies, I have been flat to the floorboards busy this last while, and missed your carefully honed reply. Well, butter late than never.
It’s a good thing Bert was late to the party and alerted me.

I’ve read all the comments above and I too have no idea about the cheese situation. What I do know is the author of this list has an infatuation with apostrophes and uses them where he/she shouldn’t. Gaaah! It’s driving me crazy.

I think Sue pretty much figured it out. But there ARE shaved cheeses, usually parmesan or Romano, but this seems to be some sort of Mexican feast, so I think we’re looking for a Mexican cheese, but I could be wrong. As for Satsumers, I got a chuckle out of that!

Sue’s and your deciphering is excellent! I have just spent an inordinate amount of time going through the Tesco online shopper’s list of 526 varieties of cheeses. At a stretch it could start with Smo – but the rest goes up in smoke. It’s not the Laughing Cow at any rate – although by now the cow could well be laughing!

I wondered if it’s not “Shaved” cheeses – sort of like shaved ham from the Deli…
LikeLiked by 1 person
I reckon I’ve now got it: it’s “Shaved Ham” scrawled on two lines – and “Cheeses” scrawled on the same line as “Shaved” but not connected to it.

I’m still not convinced that we’ve got the mystery cheese sorted yet, Bruce. Is there a doctor in the house to decipher the writing?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Well a number of products, e.g. white vinegar, are written on two lines and it’s (in my opinion) “shave” without the “d” – and that would apply to ham and not cheeses (which the person has as plural).

Good morning from Australia, while you’ll soon be yawning and getting ready for bed.
Just so you don’t get bad marks for spelling if you use that word in an essay, it should be satsuma. Lots of people in Australia and England pronounce it that way. You hear people say Coker-coller, for Coca-Cola!

Satsuma is satsuma in Finnish, too, but nowadays I prefer satsumer.

Love doing this!
Uses Tesco Supermarket. List written in a hurry, untidy writing with no organisation.
You already know most of these.
Bananas
Satsuma (small orange)
Tortilla chilli flavour
Flora margarine (butter substitute)
Crushed chillies in a jar.
White vinegar (for homemade cleaning recipe perhaps)
Scones to have with afternoon tea.
Cannot work out the cheeses! I thought it began Si but if so it’s the only I that is dotted! Terrible handwriting so could be anything! Sliced cheese, Smoked cheese, Slimmer cheese!
Hope someone else works it out.
