I decided to break up my reading of @MESandbu's new book with this amusingly serious Belgian investigation into why bread (much -- shock horror -- imported frozen from Poland) is so bad nowadays. It's like a murder mystery.
Crikey. A former French PM dropped his time to speak to Belgian TV about how important it is to be able to fine bakers who lie about freezing their bread €30k.
My mind has just been blown. Paul is allowed to called itself a boulangerie in the UK. But not in France. Because it doesn't meet the standards required to use that protected name in French law.

They just 3D scanned a bread. This. Is. Incredible.

Now homeopathy. I cannot recommend this enough.
"today, one in two eclairs in Belgium has been frozen" it's like Brass Eye. But real. And better.
