Hemplodd Jam

This delicious jam (loved by humans and walruses alike) was invented by Dr. Honglebert Hemplodd (the Third) during his 18 months in the Dorringberry Desert monitoring the Great Walrus Migration. The jam is made from the fruit of Dorringberry bushes.

Hemplodd Jam

The invention was made accidentally. When his monthly resupply triplocopter failed to arrive at his research camp, Dr. Hemplodd was forced to harvest dorringberries to survive. As you know, of course, dorringberries are sour to the taste.

He started boiling them and adding (some now secret) ingredients from his kitchen. And it tasted delicious.

But the next morning he awoke to find a small herd of walruses in his camp. They found the smell of the jam irresistible. He then made more of it to attract more walruses, which allowed him to study them up close. He was later criticised for "interfering" with nature (by feeding wild walruses), but at the same time praised for the invaluable research he was able to undertake.

When he got home he started mass producing the stuff, and he now has a very successful jam factory. There is a label on each jar, warning the customer not to use it within 100m of a walrus. Walruses, remember, love it.
