The Unlabelled Biscuit Tin Lottery

At any given point, the larder in my kitchen contains a number of biscuit tins of indeterminate contents. These nestle nonchalently between the splitting bags of flour, unnoticed until such a point when the search for a quick snack fix has exhausted all other possibilities. This is always rather hazardous, as the tin-miner risks levering up a lid to find a pile of mouldy tortillas, a forlorn and furry pitta bread, or, on one occasion, a shop-bought meringue nest that had been there for about a year, and hadn't noticably changed since the day it was hatched. Tonight, however, I hit paydirt. Nearly a whole roll of milk chocolate digestives I'd completely forgotton about. Result!
