I’ll have a coffee please
If any of you are familiar with my posts on Zomppa, you will know that I am somewhat partial to a good cup of coffee. That first sip in the morning just brings such a soothing and comforting start to my day. I generally hate pretty much every aspect of mornings, so that first cup [...]
Harlem Cafe in, err… Belfast, Northern Ireland?: Tidbit of the Day
Yes, you hear it right. Harlem is thriving in the bustling streets of Belfast’s city centre. Harlem Cafe is without a doubt, my favourite lunchtime hangout when I am in Belfast for meetings. They also happen to make a pretty mean cappuccino with the proper creamy froth consistency so important to me. I cannot stand [...]
EasyJet’s Yumble Bumble Snack Box: Tidbit of the Day
In early March of this year I wrote a post about EasyJet’s Feel Good Snack Box, one of two snack boxes that they offer on their menu. I was very impressed with the selection and care that had gone into putting together such a snack box, and thoroughly enjoyed munching it up. On a return [...]
Dispelling the Myth that Junk Food is Cheaper: Tidbit of the Day
Not quite sure how we missed this one by Mark Bittman last fall, so just in case you also missed it, we thought we would post this rather compelling chart that proves the fact that a healthy diet is not something only the elite can afford. In his article Is Junk Food Really Cheaper?, Bittman [...]

They have this neat quiz on their website which explores and explains some of the popular beliefs and misconceptions around supplements and superfoods, miracle diets we’re constantly bombarded with, and ‘quick fix’ solutions for [...]
The Turd Burger: Tidbit of the Day
For those of you who missed this scientific breakthrough last year, a Japanese environmental scientist has invented a procedure to turn human feces into a hamburger. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww, but true! Here is Gizmodo article about it Would You Eat a Burger Made from Poop? Check out the video. It kind of looks doner kebab meat…

The Illusive Thermomix: Tidbit of the Day
I meant to write a tidbit about this magical machine over a year ago when I first came across it in a friend’s apartment in Madrid, Spain. The Thermomix seems to be this closely guarded industry secret. You can’t buy it in stores or online, you can only buy it from the makers themselves and [...]
