Reply To: The concept of ‘Bontamination’… Discuss.

Hi everybody… Just had a few days doing other things, but I’m back now.  I’m having to get used to shopping in a supermarket again… I do so love the word ‘Bontamination’. It just sounds okay, and yet it is so simple. As basic as, too much salt in the potatoes, and they are ruined, contaminated. But get the right amount in, and yes ‘Bon’ as the great french detective Hercule Poirot might say. What I am wondering though, is, how is it that on cooking programmes, the judges all have exactly the same taste, re spices, salt, pepper etc? They do, don’t they?  Years ago, a cafe would have the salt and pepper etc out in boxes, so you could choose your own amounts. Surely it is an individual thing?  At least now they’ve ditched those stupid pieces of coloured plastic, in favour of slices of wood.  A place I once worked in was obsessed… Mind you, so were the people trying to sue us…  I’m sure they had solicitors on speed dial… This new word is gathering pace. It exists, simply because it has now been published in the English language.
