I don’t get very excited over Thai fish cakes.
It’s strange. They’re fried, they taste good, they’re normally well-executed…I just don’t know what it is.

My love of custard was revealed a while ago.
I’m not ashamed. We all have our food vices, and this one is fairly harmless. In moderation.

Day-glo. If it doesn’t work on clothes, can it really work on sweets?
(I’m sure day-glo fans will be bridling at the first part of that statement, but if clothing isn’t subdued, drab and dull, I’m not interested.)
In these days of natural, local, independent, hand-made idealism, even the big companies are phasing out artificial colours in favour of less eye-popping alternatives.
