A different kind of Camino - but then aren't they all?As others of the tofu-munching wokerati will have noted already, The Guardian has what seems to be a monthly mention for the Camino.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful Camino journey@henrythedog, tell your owner a big "thank you" for drawing attention to this wonderful Camino story. It is absolutely lovely and I nearly shed a few tears as it unfolded toward its end.
What a beautiful story. Made me cry.As others of the tofu-munching wokerati will have noted already, The Guardian has what seems to be a monthly mention for the Camino.

I walked for the daughter of a friend of mine. She passed away half way through my Camino but in the end it was she who took me on Camino. I have never forgotten that or her.As others of the tofu-munching wokerati will have noted already, The Guardian has what seems to be a monthly mention for the Camino.

Is that really necessary?tofu-munching wokerati
Is that really necessary?
Loved the article and enjoyed the descriptive humour! I had missed this story (the descriptor) in the media , surprising given not much else going in UK.No words... priceless gift from Reuben to his brothers (and they thought it the other way round).
What's wrong with tofu? :>)
It’s a niche reference; but it was a direct quote from the recently departed British Home Secretary as to the nature of the Guardian readership.Is that really necessary?
Humour/Irony/use of language can be tricky on here give the very varied backgrounds of us all!!! Age, nationality, country of residence, profession, etc. I got into ‘hot water’ yesterday for suggesting that Ivar had briefed a ‘top design agency’ for his excellent new logo and someone took umbrage. Being of that world, I know that to brief a top design agency would cost a few hundred thousand quid to get to concept stage but obviously most people won’t know that ( and why should that) and think it costs £100! I didn’t remotely think anyone would think I was being serious! My fault I guess! I don’t use emojis either! Maybe it’s time to start!!It’s a niche reference; but it was a direct quote from the recently departed British Home Secretary as to the nature of the Guardian readership.
I often forget the international nature of the readership on here. I do hope it’s not unduly spoiled your day.
I’ll add, perhaps Ill-advisedly, that I am amazed how @SabineP and others remain so current with respect to international media. I’ve rather enjoyed, this week, reading the Spanish coverage of ongoing events in the UK. The detached point of view gives a clarity which domestic media sometimes misses.
Enough of that. The original article is worth ten minutes of anyone’s time in my opinion.
Thanks for clarifying, and no it didn’t.It’s a niche reference; but it was a direct quote from the recently departed British Home Secretary as to the nature of the Guardian readership.

Yes, in support and with due respect for all, what is one person's humor is another person's insult. I appreciate the clarification as well.I often forget the international nature of the readership on here. I do hope it’s not unduly spoiled your day.
BBC radio’s main evening news programme today had a feature on the topic of my opening to this thread today. It had been held over from the time of the original quote because, apparantly, there’s been a lot going on in UK politics this week.As others of the tofu-munching wokerati will have noted already, The Guardian has what seems to be a monthly mention for the Camino.

Good to know... With Christmas coming up, there may be opportunities to enhance the culinary libraries of several of my sisters-in-law. It's either that or new Birkenstocks or UGGs. ;>)BBC radio’s main evening news programme today had a feature on the topic of my opening to this thread today. It had been held over from the time of the original quote because, apparantly, there’s been a lot going on in UK politics this week.
The feature discussed why tofu has been so unfairly associated in cynical popular culture with woke leftist fantasy politics. To be fair, no convincing explanation was offered, but Ken Hom (a UK based Chinese-American chef) did describe some excellent recipes.
The epithet having been adopted as something of a compliment by Guardian readers there is now a range of merchandise available.
I count about 50 sites on Etsy selling shirts. They may be wokerati, but they are capitalists!The epithet having been adopted as something of a compliment by Guardian readers there is now a range of merchandise available.
!ndeed! Some quite nice designs!I count about 50 sites on Etsy selling shirts. They may be wokerati, but they are capitalists!
They are quoting the new UK Home Secretary “Suella Braverman has launched an extraordinary rant about 'Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati'.”Is that really necessary?
