Why? Perhaps you should have bought her one too - just a thought.

[Coinery 1,157]

As a vegetarian, who many years ago used to love every morsel of the animal kingdom, I can understand your indulgence. However, Mrs Peter has certainly got it right, and I have a new found respect for her!

Viva la goose and Mrs P.

Spiritual evolution will bring about your own vegetarian state some day, Peter, so you'd best enjoy that liver while you can!

[Peter 615]

The French also eat buntings with tea towels over there heads.I once had a seafood platter which was basically alive.

I've never had foie gras.Strange race

Foie Gras and virgins, must be pretty posh around were you live. A kebab and the local tart is about the best you will do around here.

Quite. And don't forget the fava beans and a nice chianti!

I have to say I am unclear on whether it's the French or the buntings wearing the tea towels. Either image is slightly disturbing. But as for strange races, I doubt (in culinary/gastronomic terms) the Chinese can be beaten. How anyone can derive pleasure from eating gristle or chickens' feet I cannot fathom ...

I'll second that. In the mid 80s, my wife and I were passing through Hong Kong and obviously had to eat. We decided to try pot luck in a back street eatery with no English menus. We pointed at the two trees and the lean-to privy in the menu and waited to see what arrived. My sour pork was all right, but she wasn't amused with her chicken gizzards. I had two meals.

Dim is the lighting, then you pay the Sum at the till for what you thought you ate...

Not dissimilar to myself, this evening! Cooked red lentils, boiled potatoes, shredded and blanched spring greens, fried onion and garlic, chives, and lots of cheddar, all mixed together and baked in a pastry pie! Served with corn on the cob, coleslaw, and a fresh salad! Got it cold tomorrow with pickled onions and cherry tomatoes (plus some homemade scrumpy, which is being delivered to the door at 12)!

So how do you reconcile the living floaters with your vegetarian habits? Beer ought to cause a problem too given the use of finings. I take a rather more pragmatic view of food. Everything goes in and nature decides if it is useful or not.

I love the Scrumpy without rat.

I worked with a West country Foreman who got me proper stuff every week.My knees still wobble.A plastic gallon...I blame him for my 2nd daughter.

We also stayed at a farmhouse when Mrs Peter was drunk at 8am it was a wine festival and she wasn't the worst.Those Frenchies get me back.Can they cook bacon/eggs a bit of toast and a bucket of tea....can they ? Still with a full rack of red we got on well.Love em.

I stll have my boules.

Fortunately, a great many bottled beers, ciders, and wine are given the big V!

The cider was a great find, the owner of the farm we're staying on rents out the barn to a fellow farmer, who just happens to make his own 'private' cider from the local apples (I've been assured that all the apples are hand checked, and every maggot, mouse and fly, are carefully set free before pulping). It's fabulous stuff!

Other than the black variety, of course!

I believe many a new generation has its foundation in the fruits of avalon!

When I have worked away my wife has found my Necastle Brown and my Ciders BEWARE it could happen to you

[Peter 615]

I think a flagon of cider,some old spot liver,fois gras some free range eggs and homemade bread are lurking and a large Cuban cigar outside of course. Oh a tipple of red and coffee.
