Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought

I accidentally started a food fight this week. I was in Manchester, one of my favourite cities, up there with Valencia in Spain 鈥攁nd I鈥檓 often struck by the similarities between two very different towns.听

听

Valencia, with its lovely Medieval centre, basks in the Mediterranean sun, beaches on one side, orange groves on the other. Manchester, child of the industrial revolution, not so much, the gentle patter of rain falling on its factories and forecourts.

听

But both are proud, characterful places, provincial cities that feel like capitals, industrious, forward thinking, full of football and food. Yes please,听muchas gracias.听

听

To me they鈥檙e so alike I wondered if they were actually twinned, but they鈥檙e not. Valencia gets Sacramento, California, famous for farmers鈥� markets and Mark Spitz. Manchester gets Wuhan, famous for all the wrong reasons.听

听

Another similarity - both have a celebrated dessert. Flan Valenciano is about as Valencian as it gets, a sort creme caramel with orange syrup. Manchester Tart I remember from school, pastry base spread with jam, filled with a stiff custard, sprinkled with desiccated coconut and decorated with a glac茅 cherry.听 You don鈥檛 see it so much now, more鈥檚 the pity; but the idea of twinning these cities, got me wondering which would win in a fight? Manchester Tart or Flan Valenciano?

听

Social Media came alive, divided pretty much down the middle, some for orangery unctuousness, others were for crumbly creaminess; some thought the flan was not really a flan at all, others couldn鈥檛 bear the thought of desiccated coconut (I love it, and didn鈥檛 help by proposing that the manna on which the starving Israelites fed 鈥� a fine, flake-like thing" according to the book of Exodus 鈥� was actually that).听

听

Uproar 鈥� by the afternoon it had made the local news, and I was summoned to explain myself on the 成人快手.听

听

Later, I was scolded by someone for taking valuable bandwidth to argue puddings which could have gone to the pandemic, or culture wars, or the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

听

But I don鈥檛 think Twitter really needs more angry, echoing, commentary from me on these subjects (there鈥檚 plenty from others, if you want it). That鈥檚 a lesson I take, actually, from the Bible, from the parables, of wheat and weeds, widow鈥檚 coins, bulging wineskins, simple stories of significant things, that Jesus tells to open our eyes to unexpected truths.

听

Manchester Tart won, by the way. 成人快手 advantage.听
