Food Snob
This weekend I took a trip up to the Whole Foods Market in Kensington, sorry, London’s Kensington.
This is a dangerous thing, especially in the second week of December when I should be buying presents for people and saving some money, because I knew I would walk out three figures lighter. Thank god I’m paid early this month. I say god, I actually work for the world’s largest media company, so my gratitude might be somewhat misplaced.
The damage would have been less if I wasn’t such a food snob.
Chickory coffee! Provolone! Sourdough bread! Festive stollen? Are you serious?? That’s like my favourite kind of stollen.
Yummy yummy yummy favourites that I can’t find anywhere else.
Well, that’ll do. Work is very busy, and I’m doing a lot of work on This Is This Live 2008. I never thought it would be such a big job taking this shit out on the road.

Festive stollen! That’s like stollen squared!
I love stollen. In fact, I am considering making my own this year. Although I also considered making my own last year and the year before and the year before that.

I love Stollen. My Grandma makes Stollen and it’s delish. She also makes a lovely gingerbread-type festive German cake thing with cherries on the top. Mmm.

Provolone could well be the king of cheeses, by the way.

Are you sure you want to go down this road?
*cough* Passchendaele.

AS long as no one is trying to put the King of Cheeses on the German-cake thing with cherries on top, I’m easy on the cheese.
THis is This Live 2008? On tour? Hm… now this sounds interesting!
Um… what’s Stollen?

Gaaaaah - I’ve been singing Stevie Wonder all day. Because of you.

Would you put Provolone in soup, now that’s the question! It sounds like an anti-depressant, actually.

Gaaaaah - I’ve been singing Stevie Wonder all day.
Jonny, by going “Gaaaaah”?
Katie - I can’t believe there is a cheese called that. “I died in hell (they called it gorgonzola)”
Sam - A lot of kids are on Provolone these days. Just terrible.
Ed - Only joking. Can you imagine a blogging roadshow?

Oh, I love being able to do this on a post called Food Snob.
Cathedral City Cheddar is the kind of cheese. Or if you’re going to cook with it, then white stilton with apricots.

Actually, Cliff, I think it’s a great idea, a blogging roadshow. You could go up to Aberdeen and visit Wendy, then try to catch up with Katy as she traipses all across the country in search of People Unclear On The Concept. Then it’s off to pet the kittings at the little red boat. And from there, who knows- Austin to shake the Leemer tree and see how many fall out.
Just think of the video blog possibilities!

Celebrity This is This Live On Ice?

Like it - you got ice up there, Wendy? We can do the whole thing in Aberdeen.
Fruit in cheese, now, is it? I think you make this stuff up just to get a reaction.

I had ice on my car last night, but I don’t think the roof would hold everyone’s weight, it’s only wee.
December 11th, 2007 at 11:28 pm
Okay.
Wait.
Sam - you had frozen wee on your car?!

And I’ve just noticed that both my email address and my website address have been wrong on every comment here for ages, so I’m correcting that with this comment which really isn’t a comment at all. But hello. And yes, go for the residency of This Is This Live 2008 in Aberdeen.
Remember my spinach gnocci? IT HAD FRUITY CHEESE IN IT.
Hah.
