"Emergency catering"

From Huffington Post:

A huge fire at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage has left the celebrity chef's farm park "severely damaged"...

The cause of the blaze at the chef's River Cottage headquarters in Axminster, Devon is unknown. However the seriousness of the fire meant eight fire engines and 80 firefighters were called to the farm's commercial kitchen last night.


All very upsetting, scroll down to get to the funny bit:

Members of the Salvation Army also attended the scene to provide catering for those affected by the fire and members of the emergency services.

Love it!

I can just see the Sally Army guys wandering round with sandwiches and mugs of coffee, saying: "I'm awfully sorry that these are just Hovis sliced white with margarine and processed meat, not boccaccia with hand-churned butter and Parma smoked ham; and the coffee's just Nescafé instant, not freshly ground Blue Mountain. But at least it's not all burned black, eh?"

Yum - I quite like junk food.
