Minute Cryptic - 28 October, 2025 (a satisfying one and oddly universal. Yesterday I used a book voucher on a Daily Telegraph big book of cryptic crosswords and a The Guardian big book of cryptic crosswords, I haven't started either yet. They're chiral newspapers in the opinion and pretentions of the supplements, but I like the reporting in both, I think most British newspapers have good reporters. Plus a feature writer for one of their magazines, Telegraph IIRC, was kind to my mum interviewing her about grief a few years ago. And more importantly than that I got a two week supply of Aytac Strained Yoghurt which is Anatolian style yoghurt that I very much like. I like yoghurt to taste of yoghurt and I like Greek style but the Greek style most supermarkets do is very much anglicised. British food is really good. I just think demand has been warped by Francophobia, 100 years of the Victorians, followed by the class divides/enshittification of the industrial revolution, followed by two world wars and the only thing that has livened it up for most people is immigration. Despite having an empire we didn't 'borrow' anywhere near as much food as we should have done. If I was in charge I would have made cultural appropriation outright theft in culinary terms. My favourite British food is driven by the quality of the produce, which is primarily from butcher shops and greengrocers rather than supermarkets, and my favourite pudding is steak and kidney pudding. Although, maybe it's some middle-aged thing where I'm trying to subconsciously eke out testosterone, I am, genuinely, mostly vegan on environmental grounds. The funniest thing I saw yesterday, other than my superb 1990s orange jumper, was an inflatable Halloween ghoul and 'trick or treat' gravestone which had malfunctioned and looked like the ghoul was vigorously humping the gravestone. I took a video and dubbed it with 7 seconds of The Boogie Times Tribe "The Dark Stranger" and used it as an Instagram story.. I 'sort of' checked this comment.)
