thought you could spell it any way! but I remember a terrible Russell Kane bit years ago about CORIANDER and HUMMUS hawhaw, I recently had friends incredulous when I told them we had powdered milk growing up. Think it was St Ivel. I definitely feel like a bit of a fraud in "normal" circles at times.

should be a full stop after "hawhaw" there. Me drinking shitty milk is nowt to do with Russell Kane.

I once heard an excellent interview with a hummus/hoummous expert who'd wrote a book on it and he basically said most of what passes for it in the UK is 3rd rate gack and barely resembles the real stuff you'd get in a Middle Eastern cafe. I dig that kind of food snobbery!

I did actually find myself making my own hummus on a few occasions. And baba ganoush!

That article is dire. Another poor elevator pitch to an agent uncomfortably stretched out to book form when it struggles to be of interest or entertainment as an article.You can practically feel the embarrassment of writing this slush coming off the page.

Not quite satisfying the remit of the thread but look at this classic piece of nonsense Tom Tugentwat has just come out with.
"If we cannot speak to that country then the separatists, the socialists, and the sandal-wearers will tear our great country down. They will reverse Brexit and drag us into a decade of decline."
― Tom D: I was in the army (Tom D.), Monday, 18 July 2022 14:53 (one year ago) link
at this point i'm desperate enough to support a popular front of separatists, socialists and sandal-wearers to crush tory reaction for good. if those only those groups had the coherence and power and discipline attributed to them by the right
if we had actual democratic discourse in this country no tory could be able to get away with warnings about "a decade of decline" ffs

On the other hand, in September 2012 the average house price in the UK was £162,080:https://www.theguardian.com/money/2013/jan/29/house-prices-creep-up-2012-land-registry
Whereas now a house is £289,099:https://www.theguardian.com/business/2022/jun/08/average-uk-house-price-hits-record-but-market-starts-to-cool

The people least likely to say "you go first" in Lidl when they've got a month's shopping & you've got six apples & a paper are the ones with spending £100+ on kale, blueberries and beansprouts etc— John Harris (@johnharris1969) November 15, 2022

you can get a huge bag of kale for less than a quid and I've heard it derided by a sophisticated foodie as "basically cattle-feed". Anyway I like it in soups and macaroni cheese so stick your apples up your arrisehole and what kind of a dick goes into Lidl to buy a newspaper.

Very, very strange tweet from JH. Deserves to stand in infamy.
Personally I would never spend £100 in a supermarket (might do with an online order) but people who do are presumably feeding a family for a week - as poster Wins says.
So JH is opposed to people feeding a family, if they eat fruit and vegetables.
Though JH has probably also written columns saying things like "part of the problem is diet - how can we get more working-class communities eating healthily and increasing their life chances?".
So he should not be opposed to any family eating fruit and vegetables.
It's an unusually bad take even from him.
Also: surely the truth about who "goes first" in a queue is - whoever is first in the queue. Most of the time this is simple, not a matter of debate.
― the pinefox, Wednesday, 16 November 2022 09:53 (one year ago) link
queueing a bit longer is priced in at Lidl, there are less checkouts than other supermarkets. Everyone knows this.
― calzino, Wednesday, 16 November 2022 09:57 (one year ago) link
Well, it is nice and polite when someone with hundreds of items in their trolly offers to let me, with only my TV Choice and low fat Olive spread in my basket, go ahead of them in the queue, and this has happened to me quite often in my local Lidl. But it's not a source of tweet-grievance when it doesn't happen.
