We'll be back after this ...

Ever anxious to spread the joys of civilisation and wonders of technology, Lord Patel was tempted by the novel packaging and promise offered by a new Ryvita whole grain (low Gi) crispbread that contains "Pumpkin seeds and Oats" - a "scrumptious snack" says their website - a source of bone and teeth building phosphorus.

Snacking yesterday with some Tesco's Finest "Old Matured take the roof off yer Mouth" Farmhouse Cheddar, he has to say that the crumbly nuttiness, the rustic flakiness provides a taste sensation. Highly recommended.

Ever anxious to please, my domestic staff provided a small quantity of mildly salted, crunchy red pumpkin seeds from Syria which Asma Assad (Emma as she likes to be known by friends) introduced me too.
