Thanks, Glenn - a quite fascinating collection. Prezi? If so, the subject suits Prezi very well indeed.

The unsurpassable Jonathan Meades on jargon:

Very much NSFW, unless you're WFH of course.

Now he *is* the guy that used to be the opera critic in The Times? Not to be confused with the author? McDear Leader will understand the question. I think the other fellow may be called Coe.

Isn’t Meades known primarily as a writer and cultural commentator? I first remember him talking about architecture, a sort of protege if the late Ian Nairn.

The only two Coe’s I can bring to mind (apart from Lord Snooty) are Jonathan, the novelist, and Gideon, the journalist and music DJ.

I am none the wiser.

Cultural commentator is about right and the programmes I watched a while back were about architecture, but in a cultural context. He was restaurant critic at the Times for many years.

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.
