my mom calls it pignoli nuts but she always pretends to know other languages too so, blah
he's wrong about bouillon cubes, btw. the rapunzel ones are soft like paste and not too salty. i've never seen tomato paste in a tube either. i really don't trust him about anything anyway!

I've seen tomato paste in tubes, but only in super-fancy stores in big cities. That sensible stuff hasn't reached the hinterlands.

Pine nuts here are called "pine nuts" or "pinons." About two months ago there were people on all kind of freemade stands – "PINONS – $10/bag" Pinon is how they say pine nut in Spanish. It's people that speak Spanish that are selling them. Makes sense!

Tomato paste in tubes = all over the UK for as long as I can remember.

Only we call it tomato puree.
Eat for Eight Bucks series on SeriousEats is pretty good.

a long lunch down the pub in Leeds or Eccles or Poole
Eccles? ECCLES? Has he ever been to fucking Eccles? Jesus wept. There are no long lunches down the pub. There are no pubs. They've all been burnt out.

Eccles, yesterday.
Do love Henderson, though.

Same for Poole, place is a shit-hole full of squaddies, venture out into the nearby countryside maybe. Fergus is cool though, St John may be my favourite restaurant ever.
