Correct.

Not a golfer and never seen a star wars film or an episode of star trek for that matter.

Stop it getting lost or it getting nicked.

I'm hoping someone will have a good idea for me.

I got sucked into the power of advertising and whilst in Lidl decided to pick up a few of the Greek bits on offer, one such item turns out to be a giant (large pizza sized) puff pastry spiral stuffed with feta cheese.

We don't eat much frozen food so my freezer is a poor excuse for food storage and once I'd unpacked the veg and frozen yoghurt I had no room for the heart attack waiting to happen.

So it's sitting in the oven waiting to be cooked.

But what can I serve with it?????

That is the ultimate question as I really have no idea. It's not something I'd usually pick up in the shop and not really what I was expecting when I'd got it home and had a proper look.

I'm going to have to go and get one of those! Sounds like a variant of the Balkan favourite snack food made of filo usually stuffed with meat, cheese or spinach. Yum. It's usually quite oily, so I'd have it with a Balkan-style chopped salad to give a fresh contrast, such as a mixture of finely chopped flavourful tomato, cucumber, onion, bit of parsley maybe, could put in some feta although if there's cheese in the pastry you might have enough already, possibly some chopped white cabbage, all seasoned with salt and pepper. And a few pickled hot peppers on the side. Lovely.

But if it was in the oven last night you've probably eaten it by now.

Wikipedia here tells you more than you knew you wanted to know about this sort of thing:

Advertising masks.

Everything seems to have adverts on now - bus stops, carrier bags, etc - but not masks - yet.

Turn up at the shop without a mask? Buy one of our branded ones and you're welcome to come in.

(Printed on both sides, to prevent awkward bastards from wearing them inside out)

Remarkably effective messaging - placed almost exactly in the eye-line.

This must be happening? I haven't seen any, though, and we're six months in now...

We have some LFC facemasks and I've seen an Aston Villa one when out and about.
