Would you eat a Spunkmeyer muffin?
We went to the Cafe Culture exhibition at Olympia in west London today to try and drum up some business.
All in all a pretty good day, some really interesting people, from Fair Trade to Piper Crisps (who knew a LOT about potatoes), but the one that made be laugh were these muffins making muppets.
We tried their Spunk-muffins. How did they taste? Salty.
I didn’t ask to sample their biscuits.

Bit of shameless advertising here…..
We have just launched a new site, GutterEats.
The idea is fairly simple (like me). My place of work is on the outskirts of the City (near Old Street). Most days I take a packed lunch to work, but every now and again I either forget or can’t be arsed, so I go to one of the MANY sandwich shops in our area.
Sandwich shops must be one of the most numerous of all businesses in London, virtually all of us have visited one. Most of us have a favourite and tend to buy the same thing day in day out. We may want to try the other sandwich shop, the one across the street. It always seems quite busy, so it must be OK and you’re pretty bored with your normal sandwich shop…. but no, why risk it. Better the mundane devil you know.
What you don’t realise, is that the people on the other side of the street are watching your sandwich shop and thinking exactly the same thing.
If only there was somewhere you could find out about that other sandwich shop (or cafe etc) and post up a review of yours….
GutterEats is aimed at the lunch time office sandwich market. Most of these small independent places fall well below the radar of the numerous food review sites that litter the internet.
We have tried to make it as simple as possible to use, mainly because it needs users to submit their reviews and suggestions for it to work.
So take a look, add your reviews and shops, and let me know if it works for you or if we need to tweak it to get it right.
