I don't have a lot of time for C-list TV chef James Martin, but when I saw the way he prepared an avocado it changed my life for ever. My wife remains unconvinced.

We won't bomb syria except for all the times we already did? What? Also do guided missile strikes count as bombs?

Self-defense against British citizens hundreds of miles away isn't bombing. Even when it's with bombs. From a bomber.

That's a really poo poo headline from the Guardian. It makes it look like Cameron is against bombing Syria, when he's actually against voting to bomb them until he's sure he can win.

My favourite Monster munch was the 90s-2000 Cheese Flavor.

Unfortunately 2 of them are Ready Salted & Ready Salted McCoy's are the blandest crisp outside of those dumb "shake some salt into the bag because we are too lazy to do it ourselves" crisps. I love those salt and shake crisps. They're basically just salt and a bag, it's great.

The truth about avocados has been out there for years anyway. You feed a baby a kiwi fruit and see if he can fend off a burglar with a broom. Rubbish.

I remember that book from my childhood.

Get a slice of good brown bread and a ripe avocado. Chop the avocado's flesh into decently thick slices, place on the bread, and smoosh them a bit with your knife (if the avocado's properly ripened, it should be almost spread-able). Sprinkle some coarsely-ground salt over the smooshed avocado, and eat. This is the method endorsed by me and also by my uncle who owns an avocado farm in New Zealand and is therefore clearly an authority on the matter.

The best fruit-plus-bread combo is a warm freshly baked roll with a nice vine tomato squished up on top. Avocado can do one.

Speaking of things that we may have imagined, I recalled a really tangy orange drink which somehow had a milky texture. I had this as a kid when I was in Northern Ireland.

I like guacamole. I like avocado as part of a salad. Avocado on a sandwich with other things though I can't stand. Tomatoes are good in sauce and fried, I don't like them raw.

Avocados are actually very delicious. I'm one of those unfortunate freaks that can't stand coriander because it tastes like soap, though, so a lot of proper Mexican stuff is off limits to me in a limited capacity

That's just reminded me of Rice Creamola, which I haven't had in decades. Does that still exist? I did a quick google and one of the autosuggestions was 'download rice creamola' which sounds like the best idea.

Someone should do a vox pop, asking people about Remembrance Day/Sunday and see what the general public knows/thinks it's for. Bet that would be depressing.

As in it makes me physically sick, I don't mind the taste at all. It's really bad and a lot of people don't believe me, school meals were a torture. As a result I always feel left out when people talk about Indian food, I'll never know what's so good about it
