A man is doggedly sticking to his annoying tendency to call anything he does that relates to eating as ‘food hacking’ it has emerged.


Mike McBride, 42, has confirmed that despite having no espionage or computer security background which could explain the use of hacking metaphors, he will carry referring to basic common sense cookery tips as transformative hacks. 


'Hacked the evening meals for me and the missus for the whole week', boasted McBride to workmates. 'Instead of cooking spag bol just for last night, I made some extra, and placed them in Tupperware so we can have some more tonight, or even freeze a few portions. Brilliant.' 


McBride has indicated that this audacious heist of accepted cookery wisdom has been accompanied by further risky hacks, including having a solid breakfast to set him up for the day, and substituting some fruits and nuts into his lunchbox instead of a Mars Bar to 'switch up' his midday meal. 


Details are necessarily sketchy but it is thought, from snatched conversations at the water cooler that Mike is planning a massive ‘life hack’ next, involving going to bed 15 minutes earlier each evening and doing a declutter by taking some rubbish in his garden to the local tip.

Your oven has expressed sarcastic disbelief after being set to warm up yet another meal at 180 degrees for around 20 minutes.


'Quelle surprise!', exclaimed your Bosch 500, after waiting expectantly after you placed some breaded chicken and oven chips on the middle shelf.


'I mean I'm genuinely shocked at this', continued the oven, putting on a feigned look of confusion. 'I can't think of the last time you put me on this setting... it must have been... (checks notes)... oh, that's right, yesterday with your meat and potato pie.'


'And then the day before with that ruddy tray bake of roast veg. And the day before that... oh just sod off'.


'I'm a finely tuned piece of German engineering, you know,' continued the oven. 'I just want the chance to do a piece of juicy slow roasted lamb at 150 degrees for 12 hours. Or crank me up to 280 degrees for 5 mins for some quick Yorkshire puddings. Anything, please, just an opportunity to show my class.'


In other news, your microwave has confirmed that any soup you choose to warm up in there will either be totally tepid or the temperature of molten lava, there is no in between.
