Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That’s not annoying, that’s just plain bizarre.

Seeds on top of bread. At least half of them part company with the bread before it can be eaten, which is a waste and is messy.

I like the taste of seeds so bake them *in* the bread by all means, just not balance them on top.

Seeds in or on bread grind the gears of my digestive system.

The thing with Nigella pronouncing microwave the way she does is that in a very old episode of one of her cooking shows, she said that's what she and her children like to call it. And yet it got highlighted years later.

Bloody eczema.

(And the patches of eczema that are not yet - but probably will be soon - bloody...)

"Peel here" instructions.
Just no. Make your packaging PEELABLE first and then I'll f*cking follow your instructions. Otherwise I'm just going to save myself the utter futile waste of time and grab a f*cking big sharp knife :P
