There have been many memorable foils through the ages. For every Hamlet, a Laertes. For every Holmes, a Watson. And now, for every kitchen, 18" Aluminium Foil from Sussex Supplies.
That such shining examples of a well-crafted foil should be made dull by comparison with this breathtaking product is a testament to the brilliance of the manufacturer.
The generous provision of 75 metres of this 450mm-wide metallic wonder is a refreshing change from the the frustrating 10 metre lengths of inferior products. I feel rich, and indeed enriched, by looking at the box on my kitchen table. 75 metres.
Why is the lenth of the roll so important? Because this is, without doubt, the best foil I have ever used. The dull side teases you with a resolute determination not to reflect light as playfully as the reverse; the shiny side sends dancing light around the kitchen like a mirrorball might illuminate the dancefloor of Heaven.
"All that glisters is not gold" - never a truer word spoken. Some things are just so much better.
