I've just received an email from the Guardian telling me that tomorrow's paper will contain a new cookery supplement. How truly original, a supplement with recipes in it. I bet no other paper has ever thought of doing this. Definitely a first!

And apparently it will be "packed full with recipes for the food we really eat." Presumably this means, as opposed to Heston Blumenthal recipes that require such things as liquid nitrogen.

Were they claiming it was an original idea?

What on earth are you on about? As norbitonite says, do ideas for supplements have to be original? Are the Guardian claiming theirs is? What would your idea of an original supplement be?

Most of HB's recipes do not involve such things as liquid nitrogen, by the way.

Eh?!!! Have you lost the plot?!
