OK, important question. What’s your favourite posh crisps flavour? And the worst? 🙏for an article

Talking white chocolate in @telegraphnews.bsky.social - and eating it. A lot of it. www.telegraph.co.uk/food-and-dri...

I’m off on one in @telegraphnews.bsky.social today. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/06...

What would you like to be given for Father’s Day? I’m compiling a list.

@nicmiller.bsky.social look what’s just arrived 🥰thank you for the tip. X

Anyone spotted any watermelon radishes on sale right now? X

Much talk about the new Golden Age of Train Travel. Now 42minutes in to a call to @greatwesternrailway.info to book the Night Riviera 🤷‍♀️- can’t be booked online, can’t email tickets, have to post them, now the payment system is down 🙇‍♀️

Do you shop at Costco? What are your favourite products? I’d love to know. For an article. 🙏

Is anyone else feeling rather chuffed that our Bank of England governor has gone on to be the Canadian PM? It’s like, aw, hasn’t he done well?

How do I tweak Google autofill? I’d really like it to suggest “thank you for inviting me” instead of “thanks for the invite”. 😒

Leigh woods. Apparently you can infuse a broth with Turkey Tail fungus.

More cheeringly, I seem to have a new child.

Comparing the new Leon potato waffles to the supermarket version. Feeling depressed.

Question for parents: what would like to be bought for Mother’s Day? (Apart from world peace obv: I’m after something that can be wrapped.) for a piece. Thank you. 🙏

excellent Michelin number crunching by Andy Lynes (not yet on here I think?) open.substack.com/pub/andrewly...

Booked a weekend in Montreal after a wedding in New England. Any tips on the best location in the city to stay? 🙏

Particularly fun one to subscribe to. The Ancients theancients.substack.com?r=78gp8&utm_...

Google just offered to write the reply to an email for me. It did an eerily good job. I’m now feeling grubby.

Does anyone know anyone who knows about short acting courses (for trained actors) in New York? 🙏

‘Contempt is a dangerous way to lead a country’: here is the sermon that enraged Donald Trump

Did some things not on my To Do list. Added them to the list so I could cross them off.

Huge fan of @vicderbyshire.bsky.social ‘s political savvy and tough but fair interviewing style. Fantastic female role model. Is it wrong to think, also, “great frock on Newsnight tonight”?

YOU COME RIGHT OVER HERE AND EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE HAVING ANOTHER YEAR – telegram from Dorothy Parker to Robert Benchley, New Year’s Eve

It’s my absolute worst job: culling cookbooks because 2000 is my ceiling (literally). Some writers - who I love - have seven, eight, nine books. They’ll bring out another next year. I just can’t keep them all. But which three, say, to hold on to? 😩

The kind of Christmas crafting I can get behind (h/t @sundownerstudio.bsky.social )

Sooo… the owner of an Airbnb I booked has told me it’s no longer available (on Christmas Day, thanks for that). Now she wants me to cancel the booking so she doesn’t pay a fee. But it’ll go on my history so I’ll look unreliable. No biggie, maybe. But what would you do?

Did I just see Jeremy Bowen quiz the new Syrian leader on women’s right to university education and then on alcohol laws like they are comparable??

Where’s nice for supper near The Hampstead Theatre? Off to see The Invention of Love. 🙏

and here you can listen to me and William Sitwell have it out on the best and worst Christmas food podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Now imagining the hugs in the Today prog studio

1938 airline catering! From 'Flying' (UK) weekly magazine edited by W.E. Johns of 'Biggles' fame. Anyone able to advise any publications or writing on to early / pre-World War Two airline catering data, with actual menus or detail (rather than the usual breathless 'there's food for passengers!).

Does anyone else have “an Uber 5 minutes” in family slang? Which means, “in ten minutes, maybe fifteen”?

“To boldly go…” Do we care about split infinitives any more? Has language evolved so they are no longer “incorrect”? (I think so.) Do they make English less elegant or less clear?

Cool hoodie man in front of me in train telling his mate how great frozen gooseberries are with cream. “They don’t go rock hard see?” Faith in this nation restored.

Apparently, according to Bobby Groves from Chiltern Firehouse, the French and the Irish open oysters from the side, the Brits from the hinge.

Lingo glucose monitor on

Overcome with nostalgia. Then and now.

It’s a long time since I’ve bought Quality Street. And I’m glad the new wrappers are recyclable. But… feeling nostalgic for the bling.

Lovely panto alternative: Ballet Shoes at The National Theatre

I don’t go to Partridges enough. Had forgotten how lovely it is. My supermarket of dreams.

Pleased to hear marmalade sales are up thanks (presumably) to the Paddington film. #teamMarmalade

With all the new people over here, just thought I'd introduce this piece I was very proud to cowrite with @shahnazahsan.bsky.social. It's a story of two families - one Bangladeshi, one Jewish - united by experience of immigration, racism, kindness and food.👇 www.1dish4theroad.com/2019/11/shah...

Love doing the @telegraphnews.bsky.social Christmas Charity Phone In - just had a great chat with a lady who makes her Christmas cake every year to the recipe in a 50 year old Kenwood Chef book. Anyone out there got one of the right vintage?

Heading in to @telegraphnews.bsky.social to (wo)man the lines for the Christmas Charity Appeal now - call 0800 117 118 to donate and I’ll throw in all the cooking tips you like ❤️🙏

Waiting for the next train to London. Not fancying my chances of a seat.

Brandy creams tasted ✔️with the help of the razor sharp palate of @mimiavery.bsky.social (who picked out calvados at ten yards)
