One of the curiosities of Bavaria, and more specifically of beer festivals, is the (mooli/daikon) radish cutting device, which you can see and hear explained on YouTube here.
I am now shocked at the rise of the spiralizer in the UK. Apparently it makes it easier for you to get your ‘five a day’.
Transform your 5-a-day into spaghetti-style spirals to make meals healthier and convert everyone into a curly fruit and vegetable fan. Perfect for preparing coleslaw or salads, the Spiralizer is also great for getting the most out of your vegetables with the latest in food trends: vegetable spaghetti. Feed in raw courgette, carrot or aubergine and it produces fine, looping strands which can be cooked in next to no time so that vegetables retain their vitamin content and act as a quick-cook substitute to pasta.
Telegraph: The best spiralizers, tried and tested
They claim it was a Japanese invention, but I gather some Germans have had spiralizers in the family for decades.
I have been spiralising my hamsters, spraying them with varnish, tagging them to a central supporting column, and selling them at art fairs under the slogan “It Hirst me more than it Hirst them.” I knew the Germans or the Japanese must be responsible.
I’m afraid that won’t count as one of your five-a-day.
I ate a hedgehog yesterday. Can that be spread over various days for administrative purposes?
Did you miss this one?

I thought modern hedgehogs all carried a tube of vaseline for such moments. I’ll bet it went back to its mates and told the how it had bent the bars simply by breathing in.
