Is £22 for a baked spud NOT paying through the nose?
mh_crypto@MarkHarridgeOct 10
Replying to @jayrayner1 @ftweekend
Just about sums up UK catering in general (unless youre prepared to pay through the nose). All a paying diner wants is a hot meal made with fresh ingredients. Some establishments seem to find this simple process impossible.

This joke predates the Crusades by some margin …

Replying to @SonnyBunch
Crusades are generally centered around "recovering" birthplace of Christ and place of crucifixion from the infidels. It couldn't have been Silicon Valley because there has never been three wise men and a virgin in the vicinity.
