I saw a bunch of posts in the Hacker News type spaces talking about moving elsewhere and evaluating alternatives, and various complaints in past months. Is there compelling grounds for an exodus or are people always complaining about it and this is a nothing burger or small burger?
Force of habit / acquiescence to NZ attachment to garbage beloved cheap and cheerful garlic bread' has given me fierce brand loyalty to Mamma Fiorelli's. You could not prise this out of my hands for its rustic and traditional taste and package graphics.
However, just this last visit to New World, it was priced at $9, and the Pam's stuff that looks to be the same (foil covered, two sticks) was at $6.
I turned my back on poor Mamma Fiorelli and scuttled off home with my Pam's loaves, a traitor to her great Italian tradition, leaving her clutching her ancient mixing bowl amongst her margarine wrappers and earthenware jars of garlic powder dating back generations a couple of decades.
This stressful time for someone wanting to support her artisanal business might be something we've all grappled with at some time, left me wondering - who is Mamma Fiorelli?
I googled and can't find much at all about her - possibly she's Australian? - I couldn't even find who manufactures the loaves under her supervision and tight quality control.
Anyone got any ideas?
Perhaps if I knew more about her I could cough up the extra $3, but until then... this economy has my allegiance in question...
Plus, the Pam's stuff tasted abut the same.
I get a javascript warning and effectively get locked out with 'saving' up in the encryption status box. If I remove the table, it's fine. This happens whether my browser extensions are active or not.
I contacted support but given this is a browser issue they won't look into it. (works fine in Safari)
Keen to hear if anyone has encountered this and reported it, or found a workaround other than removing tables.
I've noticed these have disappeared from the supermarket shelves and now the small cans are scarce too. I'm wondering if this is a knock-on effect of geopolitics.
Anyone seen anywhere locally that still sells them? - Just to be clear, I mean these types of things - any brand is fine.
I recently travelled Shanghai to London on China Eastern and near the end of the flight we were served a brioche type sub sandwich with just mayonnaise in it. I'm not sure if that's a thing in China or a plane thing.
Hi,
I'm in the UK for a visit (another two weeks to go) and I'm looking for some nice art deco gift(s). I've come across The Cinema in Chiswick, but that seems mostly out of my price range - (original art deco antiques).
Bed throw / ornaments / prints / fabrics / pillow cases / all that sort of stuff.
I'm not against getting something that's modern that uses authentic art deco designs. Was wondering if anyone has any pointers? - Harrods and Liberty don't seem to have much, V&A has a little, and LT Museum a few wee gifts, but I'm wondering if I'm missing anywhere? - Preferably brick and mortar places you can visit and purchase from.
I saw a nice online place where you can get reclaimed vintage tiles - is there such a place in London, or a good go-to vintage market?
