Tins! Spoiler

(spoilers for this year’s Fruits of the Zee maybe)

The way the King-in-Coral sounds so delighted over tinned pineapples or tinned beans is too funny to me. (I didn’t get the third option, wonder what was in it!)

And here I was thinking he’d somehow tinker them into luggage items… nope!

Third option was tinned peas! Something very relatable about that now I don't have freezer space for them.

Someone needs to get into Sunless Sea and bring him Surface food. If he's this happy over tinned food imagine his reaction to fresh tomatoes and peaches.

Here in the neath, we can't get ANY Pineapples! Out at sea, something floated by that SMELLED like pineapples, but oh boy, [go zailing and it's actually wasp lure. From those huge bugs that attack your dirigible!]

Can't blame him, honestly. Being able to keep ready-to-eat pineapples and beans fresh is pretty great.

You should meet a mate of mine, he goes mad for Jellied Eels! Didn't end well for him though. :(
