wahey! Don’t fall in!

Goes hand in hand with stereotypical attitudes of the US v Europe, imo: the land of lone wolf “entrepreneurs” goes hard on big branding and [social] media platforms whereas Europe is a bit more likely to respect back-office bureaucracy and a lot of its technical prowess is in “stuff that goes inside something else to make it work”

@manualoverride @grue the raspberry pi flagship store is in the Grand Arcade

@then_three_more @Emperor https://www.toppingbooks.co.uk/ these guys are a small but growing UK chain who can send you most things

@Sturgist it’s absolutely rank 😂 that gives me more confidence to bother buying some kewpie. Think they sell it in Sainsbury’s…

@Sturgist yes I am!
I have heard good things about kewpie! But I have *also* heard British people say it tastes just like something we have here called salad cream, which is bewildering as nobody under about 70 would generally admit to liking salad cream

@Sturgist honestly I like the sound of the sandwich more than the glass of milk! I’ve never really understood big cups of milk (my kids love them though). But as a marmite aficionado I am totally on board with you-do-you sandwich combinations.

@Sturgist @IsoKiero no, these are literally just bananas, cooked in a dish with some other random ingredients.

@Sturgist it is so, so wrong. I’ve only had it once and I remember it being confusingly good https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying/_Jacob I sort of liken it to weird American recipes like marshmallows and sweet potato (which I’ve tasted and did *not* like, so who knows)

@Sturgist @IsoKiero my Swedish friend introduced me to Flying Jacob and that stuff is so wrong and yet so right. What is it with Swedes and weird banana recipes

Also, a vote here for Goodfellas pizza (Birdseye). Very average but better than Dr Oetker by a country mile and the gluten free one is pretty decent
