A very well-written article, that. I didn't find anything to disagree with, which is quite unusual in those kind of pieces.

Shame they didn't mention just how many parts of the chips described are designed here in the UK, and in places like St. Albans & Swindon which you might not necessarily expect.

[many years ago Mrs macca was a layout designer for chips - nowhere near as fine as that in those days mind]

[Principles of layout haven't changed very much, just that not very much of it is done by hand when you have 10 billion+ transistors. Still needs clever people thinking hard though.]

I often make notes when reading of things that I'd like to come back to later on, perhaps to su...

Hummus recipe:

Proper hummus is served with a drizzle of olive oil, rather than oil being a significant ingredient in its own right. This is what should go in it:

• 1½ cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed*
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 garlic clove, mashed
• ¼ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
• Approximately 2-4 tablespoons room-temperature water or aquafaba, or more if needed
• Optional garnishes: extra virgin olive oil, sumac or paprika, finely chopped parsley or other herbs, whole chickpeas

This particular recipe from thymeandtoast.com but it’s typical of the Middle Eastern way of making it.
