...Truffle oil!

Well, that was the case nearly eleven years ago, apparently. Of all the amputated parts of deceased websites I've contributed to during my time on teh interwebs, the one I've thought about least, and - truth be told - barely even recall, happens to be the short-lived cookery column on Temple Gates.

(Sadly, I won't be joining you at the Wellcome collection as there was a fuckup with the tickets and the group I was going with. Sad. Bring me back that chair with all the spikes on it.)

They were strange times. I don't think Jamie Oliver had been invented yet and, although we survived the Millennium Bug, people had started to notice that Cherie Blair's grin extended well past her ears.

No biggie. Perhaps someone should start randomly leaving photographs of that chair in branches of DFS. Ideas into heads...
