Bill : What’s in your basket?

The Guardian has a rather amusing article about Bill Nighy’s eating habits:

The most precious time in the day is the first hour of the morning with a cup of tea, especially when I am filming. If I have a 5.30am call, then I like to get up at 4.30 for my tea and to read. Even four hours of uninterrupted novel reading isn’t as special as that time. I don’t really cook. I make a mean haricots blancs avec sauce des tomates, on toast with judicious use of Marmite. I like dessert to consist of hard Rowntree fruit gums out of the box. Or I might indulge in a Lion bar.

Read and enjoy.

    He’s adorable. But having just come back from ten days in Great Britain (Scotland), I’m happy to give all of their cuisine a miss for the rest of the year. Marmite, beans-on-toast, bangers, haggis (don’t ask what’s in it)….Blech!

    Tall, lean and handsome as opposed to tall, dark and handsome, I suppose. And Susan, if you think Beans on toast is bad, you should try my beans and franks meal. (They’re mixed together and put on toast or whatever floats my boat.)

    I can’t really cook either…
