something that ultimately couldn’t fit neatly into the image i was building but something interesting is that in like 2021 mary berry did a spot on the “ploughman’s lunch” which is a “traditional” english lunch invented by dairy advertisers in the 50’s
And gosh we love a @m01r4.bsky.social piece around here. Do you have a soft spot for some of the pioneers of modern cooking television? The most influential ones have some...interesting life paths.

I want to personally thank @lotusloveslotus.bsky.social for making me read Satya's "bicycles of the mind" bit from his deranged and, frankly, idiotic blog post.
