When you go vegan, there are many, many food items people tell you you’ll miss.

‘But what about bacon?’, they’ll ask.

‘What about melted cheese?’

And, of course, ‘WHAT ABOUT NUTELLA?’

Yes, Nutella is delicious and we will forever offer it our respect and admiration – especially on World Nutella Day. It brings joy on toast, drizzled on pancakes, or, if you’re feeling raunchy, used as sensual body paint.

Calzone is so much more than just a pizza folded in half.

Powerful photo series captures unemployed youths of Thatcher's Britain

Or perhaps it isn’t.

But a dessert calzone? That’s a whole other thing altogether.

Sweet calzones are often filled with chocolate, Nutella, strawberries – basically any classic pancake filling.

But one pizza place is offering to make you a calzone filled with the chocolate bar of your choice; anything from a Snickers bar to a Dairy Milk.

Pizza Pilgrims in east London (of course) is adding the option to their existing savoury… Read the full story

Pleasing a woman on Valentine’s Day is a piece of piss for any boyfriend worth his salt.

All he has to do is fork out fifty notes for a giant teddy and a bunch of roses, delivered right to your desk.

Not for romantic reasons of course – it’s so that you, my love, can lord it over that bitch sitting opposite.

You’re welcome.

But come on ladies, it’s 2017 and a little romantic reciprocation wouldn’t go amiss.

‘You’re lucky to have red hair,’ people tell me as I smile, ungratefully, through gritted teeth.

Dreading the idea of a cliche Valentine’s day?

We don’t blame you.

The whole day is just an excuse to make you feel guilty about what a terrible partner you are, while simultaneously smearing your ‘superior’ relationship in other people’s faces through social media.

Sorry to be so bitter.

It’s the one 90s fashion item we’ve chosen to forget.

We were all so happy pretending the 2010s never existed, wearing clothes from 20 years ago like chokers and long-sleeved crop tops, but there was one little bag, a bag we used to be very attached too, that was left behind.

Until now.

Ketchup is undeniably one of man’s greatest culinary inventions.

Perfect with chips, cheese and crisps, tomato ketchup is a diverse king among sauces. It’s so flavoursome and nutritious (true story – it’s full of vitamin A and cancer-battling antioxidants).

As such, it deserves to be treated with respect, which means storing it properly. After all, nobody wants to squeeze a bottle over their dinner only to find the sauce has separated.

One of your New Year’s resolutions was to sign up to some education programme.

Rather that spending your evenings and weekends wasting away in front of trash TV, you were going to broaden your mind, exercise your brain, improve yourself.
