And Vipros would bore us all to hell and back by saying how many sesame seeds were on his toasted bagel with caviar and fois gras.

What boring foodstuffs are you stuffing down your gullet today?

Correct.

I like it
It's as much the variety and the surprise more than anything else as they pick 4 "punnets" for you. At £3 a pop or £12 a month (which you can change to less, say twice a month/£6 a month) it is steep. But the food is tasty, healthy and otherwise lightens up my gloomy existence.

Peppercorns too, half a handful.
Really improves the flavour without imparting any of that peppery heat. Don't add salt though.
