Not used this company before and I would call to check first to see if they have stock. Only snipe though.

I know veniard do waterhen wings as I bought some and the packet had that mothbally crystals in it and I dropped some on my floor and now the whole house reeks of the stuff. I am not popular in my household just at the minute. if anyone knows how I can neutralise the mothbally smell in the packets it would be a godsend or I will be banished to the coal shed.
