The good food guide

Jay Rayner decided to dedicate his final Observer Food Monthly column to the key points of the previous 180 - and it's hard to disagree with any of them, whether that's that the practice of tipping should be abolished, that "[w]aiters should always write down orders" or that "food should always, always be served on plates".

"Gravy stains down your shirt are not a source of embarrassment; they are a badge of honour." Amen!

"The kitchen knives in holiday rentals are always terrible; take your own." My mum's not the only person nodding in agreement.

"Most dishes can be improved with the addition of bacon"? Objection, your honour! I can only assume that by "most" he means "all".
