gulpfood.com offers “everything inedible for eating, drinking, cooking, entertaining and giving” and is the brainchild of former Lawyer Miriam Fogarty, a foodie with an infectious enthusiasm for cooking, living and the whole lot in between. And the choice of gifts is almost endless. Miriam runs her business online, from a shop in North Berwick and from a warehouse at Peffer Place, so you have no excuse for not getting the foodie in your family the very thing they need for Christmas. They are running another of their 12 hour shopping events at the warehouse next Monday, 19 December from 9am till 9pm.
Miriam chose for us a few of her favourites….but even she finds it difficult to choose from the vast array of gadgets, crockery, glassware, books, wedding gifts, ideas for little gifts and big fat presents…. So here is just a very small selection..but none of these will gather dust!
Wine Finer:
Danish designed, this little wine gadget (not much bigger than a fountain pen) does four jobs in one! It is a combination of an aerator, filter, non-drip pourer and stopper.
To use the finer, simply insert into the bottle of wine and pour. The wine flows through 32 aeration vents while an inner stainless steel screen filters out sediments and cork. When you tilt the bottle upright having poured, the finer catches any drips. If there is any wine left (!), you can use the stopper part of the finer to enjoy the wine later. It is made from stainless steel and is dishwasher safe
Beep Egg
What’s plastic, sings songs, and sits in boiling water? It’s the BeepEgg! This little gizmo lives in the fridge, with your eggs, then rides along into the saucepan when you’re boiling them. Its internal thermostat continuously measures the water temperature, calculates the inner temperature of the eggs, then lets you know what level of hardness they’re at by playing one of three different tunes.
To live up to its name, the BeepEgg starts things out by beeping once when the water starts to boil. After that, it plays the tune Killing Me Softly when the eggs are at the soft-boiled stage. When they’re medium-boiled, it regales you with Chick, Chick, Chick, Chicken Chi). If you like your eggs hard-boiled, you’ll wait for it to perform It’s a Heartache (….hard eg…).
To stop it, you just put it in cold water or wait for the singing to peter out
