Cookbook...yeah!
Would you envisage reader contributions? I've got a few neckfillers from a variety of places around the world.
Reg reader post-pub chef brews superscharf currywurst
It's agreeable to get a bit of feedback on our post-pub wobbly dining delights, and we're always keen to hear just how readers get on with our recipes. Last week, we presented for your eating pleasure the German classic currywurst, and quicker than we could say Currysoße, Sir Sham Cad reported back on his own hot pig-in-a-tube …

Re: Book idea...
An alternative not requiring dead trees...
Your IoT - enabled fridge can do it for you without recourse to a separate App. In real time of course, so that any change in fridge contents results in a resubmission for your next meal.
Ignore it at your peril, of course. If you do not obey your IoT fridge it will switch off completely, lock itself and report you to IoT Central for wilful disobedience. Only a grovelling apology* and a promise not to do it again will persuade IoT Central to reset your "white goods" to what you believe to be your control.
*This will require a credit card.

Re: connected fridge
The opportunities for mischief on the internet of 'fings just grew by an order of magnitude. Cracking into that option on LH's fridge could be the equivalent of the next level above thermonuclear war.
IOT - the gift that keeps on taking.
el REG - we need a really, really big bang icon now.

Although my own much quicker variant
Is simply to stir a few teaspoons of that lurid crimson supermarket tikka powder into a small dish of ketchup, with a dash of olive oil to aid the diffusion. And Bockwurst in a jar from Lidl, straight under the grill. Though I will certainly give one of these a go when I have time as they sound a lot more authentic.
Still not covered the pork gyros pitta yet though? I recently discovered some rectangular puffy pittas in UK supermarkets that are ideal.

TV show
a) a la Ready Steady Cook:
two contestants get horrendously drunk on some themed beverage, then have to raid the "typical" fridge found in that themed part of the world with the equivalent of a bunch of condiments and assorted produce
Optional - contestants are either celebs or celeb chefs
b) a la Round the World w/ Michael Palin
travel the world getting drunk and evaluating the equivalent of the local kebab van (note: may wish to bring copious quantities of Immodium with you). Perhaps done in a Hairy Bikers style
c) a la Man Meets Food
nuff said, just make sure it's spicy and/or enormous (fnar fnar)

OMG!
Good heavens, I've been 'mentioned in despatches' as it were! (Blush). I genuinely would like to see a dead-tree version of El Reg's post-pub neckfiller cookbook, as I like having books that make a bit of a contrast to the bulk of 'em in my collection (which is mostly science, history, SF, and Steampunk with a couple of conventional Italian cookery books thrown in for good measure)/ And I'd really, really love to see a TV show based on same, even if as a one-off. With one special request - preferably NO extended pauses (supposedly to add but that actually kill, tension), or otherwise, ones so gratuitiously over the top that the point is made and causes Aunty Beeb to blush in shame.
I binna good girl all year, Unca Reg, Pleeeeease make it happen!

Currywurst
I'll just leave this here:
https://youtu.be/apdc2tZCpKg
My old Heimat is Germany, and a part of it that has a proud Currywurst tradition, but I must say that in terms of sausage quality, a good British banger is superior to Bratwurst. German food laws don't allow rusks etc., but lumps of connective tissue make up for it in the production process.
Now a bad banger is a different story, but I never buy those.
