One of my first food memories was hanging out in the kitchen during a dinner party and tasting one of these. I spat it out. 
I still dislike avocado, unless it’s guacomoled with lots of lemon to cut the slimy, fatty texture.

“Red Bordeaux and Burgundy are not, like port and sherry, entirely different types of wine; they are both naturally fermented from the ripe juice of different black grapes, and a red Bordeaux will partner quite well a Boeuf Bourguinon, just as a red Burgundy will also partner happily a Boeuf à la Bordelaise if and when you do not happen to have what may be called the ‘correct’ wine to partner the dish.”

It’s all plonk to me.

The only thing you need to be sure about is that you are a joy to look at. Expend all your energy on that. Fritter your life away on unimportant things.
