Overview
Two men stand amongst food and drink supplies - pouring and toasting towards the camera. On the far right is a white sack bag on top of a barrela nd box that has the words 'Oat Meal Dunedin' written on it. The tin on the right on the table - word visiable 'Black' - probably has black pudding in it. On the left side of the table are six stacked cans which appear to be 'Milkmaid Sweetened Condensed Milk'. The dark square bottles probably contain gin. The bottle immediately to the left of the dish is likely a bottle of Lea and Perrins Worcester Sauce. The big white bag at the front could be either flour or rice.
