*Share a memory about food* I'd never consider myself a foodie but I'm a big believer in the power of food to bring people together and get them talking. Here's our first ever @Trough_Supper where 15 almost-strangers put the world to rights over dinner #FFCCathome @FFC_Commission

Trough is taking a break for a few weeks as we’re off cycling with the @Thighs_0f_Steel crew..however are you single & hungry for love?!
.

"Like many things in our individualistic culture, finding ‘love’ has become increasingly self centred." Cherie Chambers unpicks what it means to look for love in the modern dating scene. Clue: it ain't pretty.

Join the debate at our next Trough supper...

Tinder makes 20 million matches every day. But how many of these turn into genuine relationships? Are dating apps a fools errand?

Bag a ticket at our next Trough supper to find out.

Sophisticated cocktail party. One man prowls through the crowd like a fashion panther

It’s Gerard Butler carrying a vintage golf club

He smoulders at a glamorous lady

Hands her the club

Arrives at camera. Raises his martini glass. It’s filled with gravy:

“New Earth”

Ghosting. Bread crumbing. Marleying. Sunday Night Fever. Just some of the words used to describe misdemeanours in modern dating. Where did it all go wrong?

Come and find out at our next Trough supper!

*Tickets for the next Trough are on sale*

The topic? Modern dating and its discontents.

Whether you're a serial swiper or committed to IRL, come along and share your experiences about romance in a digital age.

That’s a wrap for our third Trough supper. Thanks to everyone who came along to debate the ins and outs of modern masculinity. We went al fresco dining for the first time and we’re not looking back (well, at least until October...) #supperclub #descentofman #graysonperry

[Trough Trots @Trough_Supper]

Stoic. Physical. Confident. Competitive. All traits we ascribe to men. But are these innate or are they merely expectations created by society?

Got a view? Get yourself a ticket to our next supper club where we’ll be discussing @Alan_Measles’s book

“Men. There are a lot of them about. We all know one. Grayson Perry is one. But what makes a man? Could it be in need of an urgent upgrade?”

Join our next Trough supper club where we’ll be talking about Perry’s witty and timely book, The Descent of Man.

We're organising our third Trough supper in July, this time asking whether masculinity needs a reboot. If you're a fan of good food, good people and good chat, what are you waiting for: sign up! https://t.co/FR6ti2ZmFv #supperclub #thedescentofman

[Trough Trots @Trough_Supper]

Fava hummus. Babaghanoush with almond dukkah. Smoked mackerel with land cress. All served with a dollop of debate about Myers Briggs. Fancy joining our supper club this Saturday? We have a handful of tickets remaining https://t.co/PCLLW4sOnI

[Trough Trots @Trough_Supper]

Last few tickets remaining for our next Trough #supperclub where we’ll eat delicious food whilst discuss our preferences for #introversion or #extroversion. Do you get your energy from the outer world of action or an inner world of ideas? https://t.co/PCLLW4sOnI

[Trough Trots @Trough_Supper]

In two weeks time we'll be hosting our second Trough dinner on introverts and extroverts. Love or loathe Myers-Briggs, it's a chance to meet new people and dig into some fine food. Buy yourself a ticket before they're all snapped up! https://t.co/PCLLW4sOnI

[Trough Trots @Trough_Supper]

Had an amazing ride with Thighs of Steel yesterday. If you're a cycle nut and want to raise money for a good cause, check out their ride to Athens this summer >>> https://t.co/468M5E8VDv

[Trough Trots @Trough_Supper]

If people think Myers-Briggs is so limiting in its ability to aid understanding of personality preferences why do so many people use it on their dating profiles? Join us to discuss the ins and outs of all things personality over some lovely grub. https://t.co/yWDf3dJiCQ

[Trough Trots @Trough_Supper]

If you only see one film in the next few months, make it 120 Beats Per Minute. It's a brilliantly moving story of how the Act Up movement in 1990s Paris fought tooth and nail to raise awareness of Aids. A must see. https://t.co/pXSiny3jAS

[Trough Trots @Trough_Supper]

Vice digs into Myers-Briggs in the vicest way possible. We'll be talking through the ups and downs of this 'personality test' at our next Trough supper. Come join! https://t.co/ufuK5b2VoT

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

Random (and a little philosophical) word-fact of the day: ‘person’ is from the Latin ‘persona’ and meant ‘actor’s mask’ or ‘character in a play’ before describing a human being. We kept ‘persona’ for the acting sense, but the idea of a mask is hidden inside every person.

[Trough Trots @Trough_Supper]

We can’t wait for our next #supperclub @BernsteinsBar Clapton where we’ll be getting to the heart of extroversion, introversion and everything in between...How do you feel your #personality preferences affect your work & relationships? https://t.co/yWDf3dJiCQ
