Carbonara catastrophe

Quel sacrilège culinaire! People en Italie are furious with La belle Nigella because her new spaghetti carbonara recipe includes nutmeg and a lavish dollop of cream. Maybe they’d be happier with a secret ingredient suggestion of our own: a healthy splash of our favourite French bière.

Sinking feeling

Zut alors, how the mighty have fallen! The viewing figure for a recent Blue Peter episode was recorded at precisely zero. Admittedly it was a repeat. Then again, some of us remember a time when “And here’s one we made earlier” had more appeal.

Superfan sadness

Les commiserations to Adele superfan Lori Shortall, a Canadian music teacher who spent £6,000 and travelled 18,000 miles to attend three concerts the singer had to cancel at the last moment. We wish only the best for you, Lori. And maybe you should swap Hometown Glory for our glorious hometown. Forget Adele and vacance en Alsace instead – you’ll find plenty to sing about there.

Merry Murray

Pas de surprise that Andy Murray is his usual sunny self at Wimbledon despite that dodgy hip. He and wife Kim Sears are expecting their second child. Fingers crossed the two-time champion keeps his tally of Wimbledon trophies one ahead of his offspring by completing le hat-trick on Sunday week. We’ll raise a glass to that, non?

Maison manners

Le 10 worst social crimes a house guest can commit have been revealed - and we wouldn’t want to see any of them dans our maison. But while guests not taking their shoes off when they walk in was seen as très bad, there’s something we hate more: visitors who bring bière that’s not as suprême as the one filling our fridge.

For more than 350 years Kronenbourg 1664 has been crafting the taste suprême. For more information go to k1664.co.uk
