This Week in Food Porn: Fish Curry and Profiteroles

Pick up a prong, slice yourself off a couple of minutes, and feast your eyes on the best food photography uploaded to Instagram this week.

Autumn can go bury itself in a brown leather bag and shove conkers up its orifices as far as I'm concerned. Give me summer or give me bed.

And yet, as the last of the season's fruit hangs heavy on the bushes and the first inklings of onion juice simmer gently on the stew, I suppose it's about time we admit that September can be a fine month for eating.

So pick up a prong, slice yourself off a couple of minutes, and feast your eyes on the best food photography uploaded to Instagram this week.

I don't know why, but I feel a little like I'm staring into the face of Jim Henson's least successful creation over here. Some sort of mute, vegan, sub-Sesame Street puppet whose one "trick" was to slowly roll a cucumber down the pavement until it hit the side of Grouch's bin, to then silently bow in apology and slink off.

Did you know that the profiterole is, in fact, one of the national dishes of Gibraltar? And that the profiterole, or "prophitrole," "profitrolle," and "profiterolle" for those of us a little unsteady with the biro, has existed in English since 1604? Or that the meaning seems to be "baked under the ashes"? Of course you didn't. It's probably all bollocks. But if that's what Wikipedia wants to believe then good on them, I say.

Always start your jigsaw puzzles with the corner pieces, then do the sides, then fill in the middle. It's an absolute classic big of nana logic, and not just for Christmas.

Who on this side of the moon really knows why in God's name you would full half a butternut squash with some clippings ripped from the bouquets on sale outside a petrol station but my oh my, vegetables are beautiful. Even when some dope has laid a stalk of blossom across your peppers and dicked your pears up with a load of hops.

I have enjoyed whisky precisely once in my entire life: lying in a sleeping bag, beside a canal in the middle of rural Ireland, after cycling for an entire day over mountains and through bogs. I sipped my way through a glass of something called Paddy's and promptly passed out, only to wake a few hours later to a red ringed moon and a tent entirely frozen solid.

Erm, modern Italian school lunches look a lot like the food my friend Anthony made during his first year of university, when he decided to see if he could survive off rice and ketchup for an entire month.

What I wouldn't give to watch Nigella Lawson pull a fish spine out of her teeth, then pull the small, greasy frond through her eyebrows like a tiny comb.

I'm pretty sure I saw this on the wall of a Willem de Kooning exhibition, tbh.

I could slide right into that hold, yes sir I could. Wrap myself into the puckered cultivar folds of this glorious beast and sleep a while on a hard orange cloud of seeds and flesh. I mean, sure, it looks a little like something you might find your great uncle Donny having removed from a particularly angry blemish on his neck but, hey, I bet it makes a lot of pie.
