A final pre-austerity treat for those not tired of Christmas fare?

For those amongst our readers still awaiting delivery of their Fortnum & Masons £5,000 Christmas hampers we can reveal that the unforgivable delay has been caused by a disastrous IT failure at the store earlier in December. As you know, the £5,000 Imperial Hamper comes packed with Beluga caviar, foie gras truffles, cognac butter, a magnum of Cristal 2002 and a bottle of 32-year-old whisky. 

Full refunds are available and who knows, perhaps a bogof might shift the unsold stock?  

In which case, why not indulge in a final pre-austerity bash this weekend?
