Oh dang! The ethnic foods isle in ours usually has a chewda/chevda style curried puffed rice thing...

Morrisons (being fairly PC) doesn't have ethnic foods, but world foods - packed with rice, noodles, and spices.

It make me wonder where they source their potatoes.

Well the ones in my fridge are from Norfolk and grown by someone called Chris Harrold. I know because I read the packaging while I waited for the "popty ping" to do it's work. I think Norfolk still counts as part of the world though. So, a world food, no?

I'm delighted that one reader has understood one of my late night posts.

It amuses me that "World Food" has come to mean stuff from other continents (Does vegemite count?)
Much like "European languages" usually excludes English.

I've just had a really bizarre chat with a cold caller, who, having failed to get me to buy an (undoubtedly fake) conservatory,  informed me that his family were having chicken at Christmas because they didn't vote for Brexit so they could eat EU food.

I pointed out that turkeys were originally American.

He told me I was being conned by online fraudsters (irony much?) and turkey's came from Turkey. "The clue's in the name, innit?"

So, would I be having EU turkey or good British chicken at Christmas.

His response to my saying neither, as I was vegetarian, makes me think that he'd have been less shocked and revolted if I'd announced I was a Satan worshiping cannibal who drowned kittens for fun at the weekend.

I suppose "long pig" would go in the world food section :D :D :D

I think I get more than half of my daily intake of calories from eating rubbish food, Ian. ;)

The one that annoys me is "ethnic" food. Invariably a PC stalking horse for covert racism.

I slightly accidentally ended up with about 8kg of different potato varieties. I see many spud dishes in my future...  :-X

A good few weeks ago, I tried a new(ish) variety of 'snacks'' called 'Bugles', IIRC......Those were absolutely dire....Flavoured, crunchy cardboard would have been more toothsome.

Won't be buying those again !!  ;D ;D ;D
