God job Hugh- your fish net cought me

Dear all, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall is definitely an inspirational charmer. He empowered me to use my voice for the sake of fish and in one night I found a 20oo century food activist in me. I was shy to ask the origin of the fish in the supermarket but this was before I fell love with Hugh,…

Monster can I have a tissue please? It is tough to live below the line

Eggitos – Food made with care

Hello there, President of my spanish course introduced me to Mexican concept of carino (food made with care) and I absolutely love this philosophy.  Free translation  to this is that if you boil eggs with care and give them to someone instead of calling them eggs you can call them eggitos (ah, that’s why they…
