Elinor Lipman's ode to her mother (and her mother's condiment phobia... yep)

Yes, I know that sounds bizarre!

I was browsing Elinor Lipman's beautifully-designed website the other day, and came across one of the rare essays of hers I haven't read: about her mother, and her mother's phobia of condiments: mayonnaise, ketchup, you name it! It's very funny, and of course, is as much about her relationship with her mum as food phobia. Read it here.

And expect a review of Lipman's latest book, called My Latest Grievance, soon.
