I've watched Countdown on and off since it first started and, as many BCG members will know, each episode ends with players having to unscramble an anagram - known as the Countdown conundrum.
I've often failed to unscramble the anagram but I've never in my life failed to recognise the word once the letters have been put back into the correct order.
I think almost every other Countdown viewer would say the same.
Imagine my surprise therefore when today's solution turned out to be "tabbouleh".
Never in my life have I ever seen that word but apparently it's a Levantine vegetarian salad made mostly of finely chopped parsley, with tomatoes, mint, onion, bulgur, and seasoned with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
You live and learn (as they say).
