From Anthony Kirk-Burgess, University of Bath
I have often been surprised by the ways in which we affect the things around
us emotionally.
Yesterday I noticed this inscription on the top of a bottle of Heinz tomato
ketchup: “Safety Button: Can be depressed once original seal is broken.”
This reminded me of the classic line from Mrs Beaton’s cookbook: “Gently
break the heart of a young lettuce.”
