They were approx $55 each and I bought them for my dad as he couldn't get any in QLD. Apparently they're the best Christmas puddings. Anyone else heard of these famed puddings?

Much better quality than any I have found in Australian supermarkets. Yes I too have purchased these most excellent quality anchies from Olivera and highly recommend for anchovy fiends.

Purely hypothetical question(s): How easily could one acquire a couple of tins of these babies if they find themselves in a certain country of the mediterranean (hint: it rhymes with rain...or plain...) at some point in the future? If you were to persuade someone to stuff their suitcase with these things and haul them back to terra australis would that be a remarkably irresponsible thing to do???? Just wondering.
