When the weather makes food seem daunting, there’s always gazpacho. But don’t reach for a Magnum, they are for children, writes Zoe Williams

You know all those wonderful things a heatwave will do to a landscape? Obliterating flaws, flattening tedium, idealising the quotidian with sudden contrasts? Well, it does the opposite to food. You are not hungry anyway, so that doesn’t help. Almost all meat starts to look sweaty and botulistic. Salami is the worst, its fat sweating while its edges crinkle. Salads look limp, fish looks dicey; even chips become daunting.

Magnums are NOT for children!!!

Following on from previous tweet: make tons of rice pudding ahead of a heatwave, eat cold w coconut milk or cream; sour foods are best & most refreshing, like sour dhall. Avoid meats. Try eat small portions like bits of feta, dolmades & watermelon. Salt the watermelon. Tea. Tea.

I was going to mock this but realise you lot are going through this really for the first time. Good ideas: tea (hot, with no sugar); thin plain yoghurt, which is cooling; fruit like bananas, mangoes & watermelon; freeze granadillas when you can get them - the pulp turns to sorbet

With your mouth I imagine

Put The Food In Your Mouth 👍
