The Argus in Brighton tells us that a rasher of bacon was found in a returned book by a Worthing librarian. Not headline news but pretty exciting for Brighton! Apparently this was just one of the oddities that artist Dan Thompson, of Worthing, has come across while collecting quirky items found in library books for a decade. The borrower had used the rasher as a bookmark. Bacon, book – must be Francis!
You’ll certainly find no bacon at Moshe’s deli but the Jewish Chronicle reports that student Jessica Taylor was shocked to see her late-night gefilte fish snack glowing bright green and yellow. Joff Taylor, Jessica’s father, said: “My daughter did not put on the kitchen light, took out the fish and closed the fridge. The fish was glowing brightly.” A spokesman for Moshe’s deli, where the family bought the fish, said: “Sometimes the fish eat some phosphorus and it glows. It’s good for you. We’re not the manufacturer, we just sell it.” Geeta Cohli, a consultant to manufacturer Hoffman’s Foods, said: “I’m a qualified microbiologist and I have never heard of this. I think it was an act of God.” Keep taking the tablets!
The Western Morning News tells us a sign was spotted outside a remote pub in Somerset: “Husband free to good home (any home). Comes with own kitchen utensils and apron.” But does he glow in the dark?
AND A TASTE OF WHAT WE ARE MISSING!
To close on our food theme for this week a headline from the Northwest Florida Daily News – “Woman Didn't Smell like Alcohol, but Car Smelled like Hamburger" – not sure if that’s an offence but it is offensive.
