Jeremy Clarkson opened a pub in August 2024 with one rule: every single ingredient British. Here is what that rule immediately deleted from a perfectly ordinary pub.
- No coffee.
- No Coca-Cola.
- No gin and tonic. Quinine will not grow here.
- No lemons. No limes.
- No ketchup, for two years.
- No avocado. No pineapple.
His own line was that instead of a slice of lemon you would be offered a slice of turnip.
That list is not a gimmick. It is an audit of how much of a normal British menu now arrives by ship, and the answer turns out to be most of the small things nobody thinks about.
Then the figure underneath it all. A sausage made from his own pigs costs 74p. The same sausage made from imported pig meat costs 18p. He is absorbing that gap on every plate that leaves the kitchen, which is precisely the gap every British pig farmer is asked to compete across, without a television programme paying the difference.
And the ketchup has the best ending in the whole story. So many people asked for it that a sign went up telling them to stop. Then a producer in Chatham built one out of Isle of Wight passata, Hampshire cider vinegar and Essex salt, and it went on the menu.
The demand was always sat there. Nobody had bothered building the supply.
Eu quando tô lendo uma novel chinesa e chega numa descrição poetica completamente aleatório envolvendo flores e rios, daí me dou conta que aquilo é um hot dos protagonistas
Dear Prof. Cox,
If I have drunk, on average, 12 pints of bitter per week since 1980, what percentage of the observable universe’s total mass has passed through my penis?
Jeremy Clarkson has been diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer during the final two episodes of Clarkson’s Farm.💔
Heartbreaking news. The disease was caught early and he has since undergone surgery.
Jeremy has left us with the words -
"If this is all successful, I'll see you for season six, and if it isn't, I won't".
We’re all praying for a full recovery, our thoughts are with all those affected by this awful news. Hold your loved ones close.❤️
