So I don't mean to boast, but I'm a relatively quick typist. It's the product of growing up in a house which had more computers than it did televisions, hours spent playing early graphic adventures, and working in a profession which requires you to churn out words quickly.

Nowadays, I can type accurately without looking at the keyboard. Back when I was editing an essay I'd written for History GCSE, though, the days of staring at screen rather than 'board were still a way off. Oh, sure, I fancied myself as a touch typist. But the reality was that not looking at what my fingers were doing was leading to an accuracy rate of about 50 percent and an essay which said "Hilter" every time I meant "Hitler".

My Mum, who was helping me cut back this over-the-word-limit document, pointed out that perhaps I should stop trying to touch type and just look at the keyboard. After all, I was a more than fast enough typer as it was.

This was sage advice. Look when you type. I wish someone had passed it on to whoever put together this menu:


Er... could you repeat that?

(After several Google searches and endless looks at my keyboard I can offer what I think is an accurate translation: the Kashmari dishes are "cooked with bananas".)
