Design Porn: Romeo & Julienne Chopping Board

"For never was there a tale of more woe
Than that of Julienne, and that time I cut my bloody thumbnail off chopping carrots"

As much as I am bad at chopping, I really enjoy it. You need a good surface and a good knife and speed, and above all, I love a good novelty chopping board. Who doesn't? Strange people, that's who.

This one, from Sluttery favourite The Literary Gift Company, is one of the best I've seen in a very long time.

The pun! Perfect. The board! Excellent. It's shaped like a book! Superb. It's £14.95! Bloody bargain.

You can hide it in your bookcase! Er, ok, but that doesn't sound particularly hygienic. 

 

You could (and I will) just call it a chopping bard. Incidentally, did you know that to bard something means to tie bacon or other fat around something to stop it getting dry while roasting? Because you do now.
