This is cheating really because I've now finished munching. I was overcome by a serious attack of the 'lunchies' (it's like munchies but more urgent). I don't normally 'do' lunch but this could not be ignored. So, warm pitta sliced open, smeared with some fine lime pickle and filled with a jumbled up salad of cucumber, tomatoes, chopped onion and some thickish slices of cold chicken breast. My stomach is now sated and happy. But the cats are looking at me suspiciously ...  |

I had a crumpet with maple syrup. A friend is coming to lunch, and I thought she was going to be late, so I thought I needed something to tide me over - and now she's not going to be late, and I don't really want lunch yet.

Crumpets. Wonderful things, Mary! Our National Treasure, Nigel Slater, has this to say about crumpets. 'Good though the soft, doughy griddle-breads are, I have always suspected that their sole purpose is to provide an edible sponge for transferring as much melted butter from plate to mouth as possible. A buttered crumpet weighs in at 60g, a round of toast at 52g. I rest my case'. So that's the Slater mark of approval then  |

for transferring as much melted butter from plate to mouth as possible. Ah so that's why the other half has so many of his cook books... Has anyone else noticed that there's a massive gap in food telly? There are the programmes that show you how to make nice food, with total disregard for what your arteries might have to say about it, and there are the programmes that tell you to consume only rabbit food and herbal tea for the rest of your life or you'll DIE DIE DIE DIE... It'd be so nice to have a programme that told you how to make nice food without adding butter, cream and bowlfuls of salt. Wouldn't it? |

OK, who wants to come up with a format for the programme? The Presenters and recipes are already here   |

I have it - 6 micro-celebrities work in identical kitchen areas on identical meals and a member of the public decides which tastes nicest and the worst of the others are shot evicted? |

No, No , No. Don't you people know anything about entertainment? It's got to be Eurovision "Menu Sans Frontieres" v "It's a Cook-out". 3 celebrities from France have to cook famous British Cuisine and 3 nobodies from Britain have to mangle great French classics. Only that they have to do so in a variety of silly Sumo costumes whilst being pelted with soapy water and a huge Cotton Bud Stick. Of course, Stuart Hall will have to laugh like a hyena commentate. My vote for the British team would be Abi Titmus, Kelly Brook, and of course, Lionel Blair. Who could resist watching him carefully measuring his nobs of butter and getting his hands round a coq au vin? Tommo |

I want to get this piece of work (it's a lecture plan plus commentary for my PGCTLHE*) finished before I start on dinner, so I was going to munch an oatcake for the time being, but then I saw this thread. It HAS to be a crumpet now... Nomnomnomnmnmnmnmnmnmnmmmmmmmmmm.
