  It’s two years since I wrote about the food and drinks brands that were being recognised as “cool”. It looks like my general gist from the post was that I wasn’t particularly impressed with most of the choices. And, as I mentioned at the time, I’m a bit cynical about the process as it [...]

More tea, vicar?

When Santa’s elves sent out the first foodie gifts for Christmas this year, I wasn’t over impressed. The blueberry vodka filled glass stiletto still makes me shudder now. But it was early (too early) and it looks like the good stuff is beginning to make it to shelf. One of my favourite sources is Heal’s [...]

Marmite in its many guises

August 5th, 2009 · 1 Comment · British favourites, Cookbooks, Foodie gifts, Places to shop online, Savoury gifts

Having written about cucumber yesterday, one of the few loathsome foodstuffs in Dr T’s view, I thought I’d better even the score. So I’m going to write about Marmite. Yes, greater love has no woman for a man than when I have given him Marmite as a gift. Well, except perhaps when I bought him [...]
