I like kiwi fruit and will happily eat the hairy skin. But a lot of people prefer to scoop the inside out with a spoon. Many don't realise you can eat it.

Many of course enjoy that hairy sensation on their tongue because it adds an interesting texture to the soft juicy interior.

So when it comes to popping hairy fruit in your mouth what's your thinking?

I like mildly sweet and even creamy so I don’t have to taste anything too spicy early in the morning. It can be annoying to eat curry or anything similar for breakfast.

I love oatmeal or pancakes or even fruit salad. What about you?

I passed an ice-cream parlour a this evening and noticed one of the flavours is rum and seaweed. I might go back during the day and try some but not being a pirate I'm worried I'll be refused service.

Would you try rum and seaweed ice-cream?

For fifteen years, this year, I have been photographing my food experiences. It started because I love to cook and the pictures I was taking when I started looked like crap. Then I started really getting into food styling and using food props like ceramics, linens, vintage cutlery, and backdrops to really make my food standout and the feedback from others has been amazing. I am also the one on vacation that takes a few pictures of each meal because I want to remember it just like I would taking a photo of a beach I'd never been to.

There are however, a few people who will always say this is frivolous disruptive behavior and ruins dining for all of us. Do you agree or are you all for taking a few photos?

We are having steak tonight. I like my ribeye medium rare.

We eat it once or twice a week. When it comes to red meat.

How about you?

Which cut and how do you like it cooked?

Bread and water was once a very popular dish not so long ago. At the simplest execution bread was placed in a bowl and boiling water poured over. It had many local or family names for the dish and variations included buttering the bread, adding cheese or raisins and if you were posh using tea or bovril instead of water.

So here's two versions I've knocked up. One is a bowl of bread and tea and the other a "sop castle" of bread, tea and cheese.

The photos are screenshots of a few people reminiscing about enjoying bread and water in their youth plus a recipe if you need it.
