Why the Guardian is going down the pan!

What's wrong with toast recipes? Gonna check em out now. Might be some good ideas there. Toast is kind of boring so anything to make it more exciting is OK by me.

Christmas on a budget: the Skint Foodie’s six-week plan
If money is tight, you can still enjoy a festive feast with careful planning and these shopping tips and recipes from the award-winning food blogger

My current favourite coffee bean is the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. You can buy it online from Monsoon Estates for £4.95 for 227g . That works out at a smidge over 40p per cup, if you work on the basis of 18g for “double shot” strength. And, by the way, if you buy four bags they deliver free.

I’m fortunate to live near the Brick House bakery and can buy an 850g loaf of its peerless sourdough for £3, which is the same price as two 400g supermarket loaves of pain de campagne but for a far superior product.

My website features a cheeseboard for two for each month of the year at under £7.50 a time. I’ve chosen three British beauties for this menu.

One of my favourite store-cupboard regulars is Jules & Sharpie hot pepper jelly at £3.49 for 300g. I’ve used it here in the gravy and to accompany the rillettes.

That fella is genuinely on benefits though. Or was until he got employed by the Guardian. I read his blog when I was unemployed and found it very useful.

So he's not on benefits, then?

I dunno. Not judging by the extract above. His blog used to be much more geared around economising and planning than just foodie recipes and bargains. And he's moved from Peckham to the East End, so probs not!

Well, yeah...whatever...but he's just written such a pile of wank that it might just represent peak Guardian shite.

Yes indeed, it's the very bedroom tax of beans.

In the cup you start with deliciously sweet caramel and toffee with big base notes. There are hints of blueberries and blackberries, and the tiniest hint of natural funk.

I josh you not.

base notes? is that like dirty texts?

No, no, base notes are the alchemy of universal credit. Nice with a Rich Tea.
