Every home should have one. It is a flavour shaker apparently - from the Jamie Oliver range. Available from Amazon UK for a shade under twenty quid.
It is billed as an alternative to a pestle and mortar with a ceramic ball inside for crushing ingredients. It can crush, grind, mix, puree, blend and release flavour from whole spices (including cinnamon stick and star anise), herbs, garlic, nuts, citrus rind or even lime or bay leaves. A 'quirky and highly original food preparation item'. I am saying nothing...

Am I the only one?
