For this month’s @obsfood I’ve written about trying to define myself as a Jew through food, when the world’s in flames, events won’t let you, and all you can feel is despair for all the civilians involved on both sides. Replies off cos that’s where we are. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Just read the comments under what a perfectly decent set of recipes from Claude Bosi and @tonyturnbull1 and bloody hell I had no idea Times' commentators are quite so nuts. What the hell is wrong with them?thetimes.co.uk/article/easy-f…

Looking for some strong food and wine recommendations for Lisbon. Unlike in the old days I'm not expecting much from Twitter - all the best food chat has left the room - but not sure where else to go. And this is a hail mary, just in case anyone has recs. Thanks

Is there anywhere online where there's some decent food chat? I appreciate by asking the question I'm proving I'm not one of the cool kids and I have peak FOMO. But if Twitter dies, where will the cool kids be?

@foodurchin Oops yes I did mean bun. Unfortunate typo.

@Silverbrow Exactly. (You did mean bun fight, yes?)

So, where is everyone going after this place closes?

With Twitter dying are we facing another moment where online food chat evolves? I still miss the days of eGullet, Chowhound, Opinionated About, Nomnom etc. there was the bollocks, but the chat was interesting. Where next? Maybe Reddit or a new 21st century forum?

@MarinaOLoughlin Bloody hell. Look forward to hearing what’s next.

And for my last ever review for ST (news!), I go to a chain burger joint owned by arguably the world's most famous chef and it pisses me RIGHT OFF thetimes.co.uk/article/gordon…

@JLQuoVadis @richardlander @LRB @daunt @JohnSandoe @tenderBOOKS Thanks very much Jeremy, I really appreciate you replying directly. I'll give Daunts a try.

@Silverbrow @richardlander I believe there are copies @LRB @daunt @JohnSandoe @broadwaybookstore @tenderBOOKS et al xxx

Why’s it so hard to find @JLQuoVadis’s Cooking: Simply & Well. Looks amazing but can’t find it in any bookshops.

There really are few better chefs who write than @rowley_leigh. I have bad reading habits and this is from @noblerotmag issue 28

Very sorry to read of the death of Diana Kennedy. It's a great shame she's not well known in the UK. If only she could have done for Mexican food here, what she achieved in the US. nytimes.com/2022/07/24/obi…

@theboydonefood Aeropress would work well for that amount of coffee. It's a nightmare if you're trying to make more than 1 or 2 cups at a time.

@theboydonefood Very different coffee to a cafetiere. Also, depending on the size of cafet. you have, it'll probably make less. But I much prefer my coffee from an aero. It's def not espresso, but it's getting a bit closer than cafet does.

Can anyone recommend a decent hand blender / smallish food processor? Had a magimix which I rarely used, finding it too big and preferred my Braun hand blender / mixer attachment. That's now died. Anyone have views on what's good.

@youngandfoodish @Tripadvisor @instagram For years I’ve wanted to create an app called ‘Don’t go here’. Basically it knows your location and if you get too close to a rubbish establishment a big red sign appears on your phone and it starts buzzing. Think OAD for the high street.

The echo chamber that is social media has created a new generation of tourist traps. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️reviews planted on @tripadvisor or sexy images posted on @instagram are disseminated & legitimised by food websites. The tourists converge, confirming the truth of what got them there.

@youngandfoodish @SeashellRestaur I never think about it any more. As a kid went the whole time. You have made me jones for f&c however.

@XantheClay Totally worth it and considering upgrading. I have a slightly old school Gaggia that I suspect is on it's last legs. Massive but gives so much pleasure.

Ice cream making machines: worth it? What do you think twitter?

Hi @OfficialPanini given @panini_fr have now released @LeTour 2022 stickers, does that mean another year without a UK / English language edition? 😥 cc @tomowencc
