A staple of school lunches and the stuff of weeknight dinners, jacket potatoes were always functional but rarely fun. And, while no one doubted that they provided fuel, few would’ve said they were a source of pleasure – until now.The humble baked potato, complete with its equally modest cheese and beans topping, has not only had a makeover but is enjoying a renaissance fuelled by – you guessed it! – the TikTok generation. But Gen Z aren’t the only ones to blame or, if you’re a believer, thank, for either the new look potato or the renewed interest in it.Earlier this year,…
My job as travel editor of The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday has seen me travel to every corner of the world. I’ve visited the vast wilderness of Brazil, hung out with gorillas in Rwanda, island-hopped in the Caribbean and hitch-hiked across Canada – seeing 76 countries in total (and counting). Some experiences will stay with me forever.

By Ted Thornhill, Mailonline Travel Editor Published: 07:03 EDT, 10 October 2024 | Updated: 16:20 EDT, 10 October 2024 Forget turnstiles.I’m at Old Trafford football stadium to see Manchester United play – and my seat is accessed via a private lift.I say seat. It’s actually a suite – the Marriott Hotels M Club Suite, which I discover is one of sport’s most incredible experiences, Manchester United fan or not.And it’s an experience that money can’t buy. Access to the suite is auctioned off as a Marriott Bonvoy ‘moment’ – and only Marriott Bonvoy loyalty points are accepted currency.Full disclosure –…
The roast dinner has been a staple meal in the British diet since as far back as 1485 – with King Henry VII allegedly a proud meat and gravy guzzler.But now, the humble dish has become a much pricier commodity, with Gen Z Brits now opting to spend their Sunday’s tucking into luxury lunches with steak fillet, bone marrow gravy and lobster tail trimmings.Gone are the days when a classic serving of meat and two veg could be found in nearly any British pub for under £20.Young people are now paying upwards of £70 for Yorkshire puddings, mash and all the…
People assume that Bermuda is in the Caribbean. In fact, it’s almost 1,000 miles to the north-east, isolated deep in the Atlantic Ocean, about level with Charleston in South Carolina.Yet its British connections feel even stronger than in most of the Caribbean.Perhaps that’s because policemen still wear bobbies’ helmets (at certain times) to direct the traffic; locals play cricket and the remote settlement is officially a British Overseas Territory run by a governor appointed by the King. It’s the oldest of the 14 overseas territories, dating from the early 17th century.Bermuda’s pink beaches, turquoise waters and sherbet-coloured houses have been…
I’ll come to the wondrous wildlife. And I’ll reveal all about the enthralling journey to get here. Including the impalas trespassing on the runway and the Top Gun (ish) fly-by.But first – the safari lodge. Which may just be the most incredible place I’ve ever stayed in.I’m at Segera Retreat in Kenya, just north of the equator, with my partner and seven-year-old daughter and it has rendered me speechless.I feel like I’ve stepped into an enchanted land.The moment of peak speech-numbing awe comes when I step outside the first floor of our villa onto an elevated wooden ‘jetty’ that extends…

By Samantha Rutt For Dailymail.Com Published: 13:40 EDT, 11 October 2024 | Updated: 14:49 EDT, 11 October 2024 Getting to and from the airport can be stressful and expensive, but Uber has launched a brand new deal that could make the trek cheap and pleasant – with a slight catch. The popular rideshare company announced an unprecedented new offer on Tuesday, shockingly proposing a $9 ride to the airport – if you happen to be in New York City.
