With over thirty comments, all pointing out that this isn't a new invention.

Bugger me sideways.
I've got loose-bottom cake tins and flan dishes, had them for years. Where do they get this attitude from that if they churn some idiot's press release their readership will just say "Ooh, that's a good new idea," chuck away the 4 they've got in their cupboard and buy a new one?

My mum's got some, inherited from her mother. They're about 90 years old.

And if your cake mix leaks out of the bottom - you're doing it wrong...

Actually, there is an exception to that. If making quiche in a loose-bottomed flan tin you have to be careful to ensure that there are no breaks in the pastry and you don't overfill the blind-baked case, because the custardy stuff will leak out of the bottom.

That is all.

That's different. I have a springform cake tin, and I don't much like it. I find them awkward.

All this nonsense was discussed in Leveson. So called journalists, supplementing their income with kick backs by the promotion of products by means of advertorials.

That'll probably be the raw eggs.

I know I should be sternly condemning this blatant PR, but I'm going to check this bonnet cheese out.

You shouldn't be fannying about putting fancy things in cheese. A practise prevalent at this time of year. I mean, fuckng Wensleydale with cranberry? I'd rather eat warm baby sick.

I have an image of you sampling your own smegma. Not sure why.

On chillis, I do like scotch bonnets for their citrus flavour. Most chills only seem to give heat but these also have a bit of a taste along with the heat. They are pretty hot though. Dunn's River and Encona are a couple of chilli sauce brands that use scotch bonnets as their main ingredient and improve anything they come into contact with.

The existence of the Scotch Bonnet chilli is one of the few things that makes me think that there might well be a big sky fairy up there after all. No doubt Tesco will utterly bugger it up and bastardise it by putting it in a cheese, but there's only one way to find out.

I recommend Busha Browne's hot pepper sauce, made with bonnets, available in Waitrose, and full of fruity bonnet-ey flavour.
