    The problem is elephant garlic is actually related to the leek rather than the Allicin family.

    Duck press is awesome. However, last I heard, there’s only one place in Paris still doing it.

    We had Irish Coffees made table side at a Michelin starred restaurant recently, they where pretty great.

    I have a Tefal toaster with one of these on the side- it also does a half decent poached egg.

    I remember the Twilight Zone one- real Hitler gets replaced by gypsy Hitler, which would have really pissed real Hitler off.

    I’ve used a self scan system at my local supermarket for years- You pick up a barcode scanner as you enter the store and then scan each item into your trolley. When you drop the scanner back, you present your credit card and jobs done. Now, the way this system works to make sure you are not cheating, is randomly you

    Kinda reminds me of the Pussy Monster on Frankie Boyle’s Tramadol Nights:

    Roseanne, you don’t have to send that tweet tonight
    Your career’s over, you don’t have to sell your hatred of the right
    Roseanne, you don’t have to wear that Nazi uniform tonight

    Or better still: Pop the Nazi (in the face).

    I see Heineken are buying a share of Beavertown.

    One just launched here in Ireland at the weekend. Hoping to get my hands on it during the week.

    I can’t think of anything more beige than “King of Hummus”. What next? “The Emperor of Unseasoned Boiled Potatoes”.

    “And don’t forget, in lieu of tips, make sure you leave plenty of religious pamphlets...”

    A couple of years ago I did a vertical tasting of Fullers Vintage- every year going back to 2007. 5 years appeared to be the sweet spot. Anything older had just degraded (rather rapidly).

    3rd option- why are you using a straw at all? You’re not in kindergarten...

    Kinda the same as hot-stone steak places.

    The problem of “the chef has already properly seasoned the dish” is that season is only to the chef’s taste. If they were any decent chef they would understand that every human being’s palate is different. This also explains why sometimes the dishes are too salty- the chef’s palate is not good at detecting salt
