What Your Spoon Says About You
Spoons hold up a mirror to the surrounding culture precisely because
they are universal. There are fork cultures and there are chopstick
cultures, but all the peoples of the world use spoons.

One in five Brits think parsnips grow on trees
The same amount (20 per cent) think that melons grow in the soil, according to
the poll of 2,000 adults.
Nearly a third confessed that they have no idea how some of the most basic
fruit and vegetables grow, with 10 per cent saying tomatoes have to be dug
up.
A quarter of adults (25 per cent) are regularly foxed when kids ask them where
certain foods come from, the research for Potato Week found.
A fifth have never heard of a King Edward or a Maris Piper, but just one in 20
feel completely embarrassed by their lack of knowledge.
Other common blunders include naming a Granny Smith as a variety of potato (5
per cent).

Jamie Oliver put to the test
His new book promises '15 Minute Meals’, but can a competent cook really rustle them up that fast?
My kitchen is full of smoke. I’m tossing a sizzling wok of vegetables with my
left hand and searing a sirloin steak with my right. Mushrooms are browning
in another pan, and a nest of egg noodles is congealing in a pot of bubbling
salt water. I’m attempting a recipe from Jamie Oliver’s new book, Jamie’s 15
Minute Meals, and rather than the “delicious, nutritious, super-fast food”
that’s promised, I’m feeling flustered, hungry and stressed out.
Oliver’s latest culinary offering, the sequel to his 30 Minute Meals book and
Channel 4 series, has been in the shops for just five days and is ranked
third on Amazon’s food and drink bestseller list. The much-anticipated
volume, priced at £26 (but already down to half price online), guarantees
fast, fresh meals for a family of four in a quarter of an hour.
