I'll write the words...

So, I was opening my brie and bacon Tesco's Finest sarnie. Which was a bit of a problem, as it wasn't really what I wanted. I'm convinced it was tiger prawn and avocado when I picked it up. Bloody witchcraft again.

But I digress. There, on the sandwich packet, was a picture of a large lump of brie, and some tasty-looking bacon. And lo, it said in small black letters "Serving Suggestion".

Now. Are they really suggesting that the best way to serve this sandwich is with a few rashers and a chuffing large lump of brie ? I doubt it.

I propose the immediate discontinuation of the phrase "Serving Suggestion", and the prompt introduction of the snappy "Largely Irrelevant Picture We've Included To Make Our Product Look More Appealing".

You do know, of course, that I will have to fight you to defend the perogatives of the Portebello class. Besides, they're the only mushrooms that, if you're cooking for a vegan, you can make into a credible meat-alternative by cooking in red wine and a bit of worcestershire sauce.

Er, Worcestershire sauce, let alone vegan, isn't even vegetarian :)

And anyway, you're wrong. I cite shiitake mushrooms as evidence.

I said 'credible.' Shiitake are of disreputable nature, transparently meretricious morals, and without a scruple in sight. They also make awful meat substitutes.

And now you see my cunning plan! Mwaaaah haa haa haa...

Why the Portebellos shall never fall! Down with your utopian 'classless mushroom' pipe dreams!

(Wow. With this shaved head, I really shouldn't stay out in the sun too long.)

Apart obviously from the vegetarian varieties. (Haven't we been here before?)

Probably :-)

The normal sauce contains anchovies. Apparently.

But we've probably been into the detail before too.

Still - I think this is a good case of LJ-Hijack.
