Can anyone decipher this Coatbridge mum's shopping list?

Everyone loves a brainteaser, and we think we've spotted one that would give even the hardest game of sudoku a run for it's money.

It concerns a Coatbridge mum's shopping list that her son (who she sent to get the messages), nor anyone else, seems to be able to decipher - and neither can we.

The list was posted on Twitter by her son, Coatbridge singer Romeo Taylor, a man familiar to Glasgow Live for having written a Happy Hardcore tune that we felt was worthy of being Scotland's new national anthem.

The tweet reads: Can anyone make out the word underneath eggs? What is my mum saying".

The baffling part is that the rest of the list on the photo is legible, with toothbrush, eggs, monster puffs and a small tub of chicken (something), while that one word that has us completely stumped.

And the best thing about it is, after reaching out to Romeo, he informed Glasgow Live that his mum didn't even remember what it was she'd written - so he ended up going home without it.

So far the responses have included 'special out', 'skelcidouf', 'srelad air', 'shelad air' and 'Limited edition Animal Crossing Nintendo Switch including Animal Crossing New Horizons Video Game.

Somehow we think all of these answers are wrong.

Anyone any better ideas?
