I had some bread with little anchovies on it the other day and it was delicious. All my life I’ve thought “I hate anchovies”, but it turns out that I actually think “I like anchovies”.
I realised that it stems from Futurama, and an episode where Fry’s pizza of choice has anchovies on it and his friends mock him for it. I think watching that as a young boy has had a profound impact on me, and that subconsciously I’ve avoided anchovies ever since incase people take the piss out of me for liking them.
Which cartoons and tv shows have influenced your life?
Ab Fab and Nighty Night have massively influenced my personality and most likely made me a worse person. But I do own some fabulous animal print shoes now.
I remember Home and Away heartthrob Dieter Brummer appearing on Live & Kicking or something, and he said that he only brushed his teeth once a day, so I started doing that. Then all my teeth fell out, thanks Dieter.
'er indoors wasn’t allowed to watch The Simpsons when she was growing up, so we watched all of seasons 1 to 11 together. I think it was about season 4 when she said “half of your personality is just Simpsons humour, isn’t it?”
20-odd years ago, I’d only ever had two types of pasta dish: spaghetti bolognese and lasagne. The former was eaten with a spoon and fork, the latter was eaten with a knife and fork.
On a more individual level, I’d not had a curry, or chilli or dish with rice in it that could be eaten one-handed either.
