Food for tossers
How many items for sale are now described in such utter tosh that it's hard to work out what the item is?
Here's a classic example:
|
What are 'Vintage Farmhouse Cheddar with Pan Fried Shallot Flavour Handcooked Crisps'? Well, by my reckoning they're Cheese and Onion crisps for tossers. I mean, what sort of idiot thinks they're getting something amazing because they can't understand all the exessive wordage on the label?
Which reminds me,how is it that now everything is 'pan fried'? Look on a restaurant menu now and you'll see what I mean. Nothing is plain old fried, it's pan fried, as if somehow it justifies a few extra quid on the price.
And what about the obsession with Sea Salt on everything? Plain old salt not good enough? Salt is salt is Sodium Chloride, wherever it comes from. Presumably the implication is that there are no additonal chemicals in sea salt? (no oil or any of the other pollutants that are affecting marine life?) The addition of a few essential elements could have a sound scientific basis, for example Iodine, has massively reduced diseases like Goitre. I'll stick with ordinary salt I think.
