Why Burtyfied? 

Thought I would just explain why I chose Burtified as my domain name.

The Burty part was my army nickname. I presume because of Ro-bert and Burt-on, so Burty. 

It really stems from when I’m cooking. I am allergic to onions, I know it’s a weird thing to be allergic to. And it is a really awkward thing as well, it is really surprising how many things have onions, onion extracts or onion powder in! 

It doesn’t make me really ill, just varying levels of being or feeling sick depending on what type and amount are in. Varies from projectile down to a bit of stomach ache and the taste repeating on me.

A lot of the food I particularly enjoy normally contains some form of onion. Spag bol, lasagne, chilli, curry, pies, etc. So a long time ago I started making my own versions of them.

I don’t particularly follow a recipe, I will browse it and then adapt it to how I think it will be OK without onions in. Most of the time it will be fine, I have obviously had some disasters though but not too many.

So basically when I was cooking my own recipe instead of saying that I was adapting it I would say that I was Burtyfying it.

It’s not just cooking that I use it with now though, anything that I adapt to make things easier for me is now classed as being Burtified.

So there you go, that’s why my website is called Burtyfied!
