A Happy New Year to All Our Reader


We collectively promise to be more productive next year.

Not more interesting. Just more productive.

How about more condiment related content, eh? Not relishes or sauces, mind. Just condiments.

Plenty of piss and vinegar on the way, Mike.

Just some nice Grandma Entwistle's Lancashire Sauce will do. And strangely it is officially classed as a condiment. (Castoriadis swore by it, you know, although I believe Lefort favours Henderson's Relish, which is also, quite weirdly, an official condiment. Pannekoek was a Maple Syrup man, as his name implies.)

Apologies; I missed the death of Claude Lefort in October. Did you post a link to an obit here?

More apologies; I watched an episode of QI on Dave in which I think Stephen "National Treasure" Fry expatiated on the difference between sauces, relishes and condiments. I may have placed too much confidence in the Walking Wikipedia. (Might have been on Dave Ja Vu , by the way.)

Hi Mike--

No we didn't link to a Lefort obit at the time. The blog was hibernating, I'm afraid.

Trying to revive it even as I write.

I'm ashamed to discover that my view that relishes and sauces are somehow different from condiments was formed not by the words and wisdom of the Greatest Living Englishman and Official National Treasure, Mr Fry, but by one of the new "Fosters Funnies" episodes of Alan Partridge. (Episode 1, by the way.) I hang my head in shame. They are very funny, though.
