Morrisons, it turns out, have appointed three Food Laureates, in an attempt to marry two great pursuits - literature and food.

They’ve already written some rhyming recipes…like Ian McMillan’s Humble Crumble…

Grab your apple and chop it and core it
Get some butter from wherever you store it.
Melt your butter in a pan that’s hot.
Add the apple and some sugar: not a lot

Get more butter and rub it in flour
For five minutes to a quarter of an hour
Stir more sugar in then sprinkle on top
Of the apples and the butter from the shop

Then stick it in the oven till the top turns gold;
Then eat it when it’s hot or save it till it’s cold!

And there’s 50 quid up for grabs if you can better the above….

Yum. Yum yum yum.

And in the background…Matsushima, one of Japan’s “three greatest scenic spots”.
