Don't have meat in this house, well very rarely, the only meat John likes
or will eat is Chicken he reckons it's because he didn't grow up eating it
and yet he likes the offal, kidney's and liver.


I seem to recall Proctor and Bergman (probably) calling it "Beef Awful".
That was probably a variety of cat food. Have you tried him on cat food?

He doesn't like pork, lamb, beef or even mince so when I used to make

So he doesn't like burgers? It must be around about 1980, when I was in
Oxford Street - probably to buy a Firesign Theatre album in HMV - that I
went into Wendy's for a burger and it was such a vast improvement over the
fast food competition that when Wendy's disappeared - no doubt because the
masses prefer the waste products of MacDonalds - I began making my own (sort
of) by buying a tray of mince, squashing it vaguely burger shape and frying
it. Really it needed the small amount of bread or whatever it is they use,
presumably as a binder. I do find it very hard to understand a meat eater
who doesn't like burgers! When I quit the stuff I switched to Sainsbury's or
Tesco's chargrilled vegeburgers because they taste enough like beefburgers
(especially with cheese, onions, ketchup, American mustard, horseradish,
lettuce and lightly toasted bread to squash it all between!). In fact, I
suddenly know what tonight's dinner is going to be!

If you remember a couple of years back (so probably three or one) my
ruminations on the 'pickles' you smell when you walk past a Subway (as
opposed to a subway, which if anything will smell like a telephone box),
that was entirely about completing my vegeburger concoctions. Still haven't
found them, though the gerkin I was given at the chippy in Edgware that was
not simply open New Year's Day, but where you get fish fried in matzo, which
I like from time to time, came close. Meanwhile I get the impression I'm the
only gentile in Britain who likes matzo! Though on the whole I think I
prefer batter, these days).

shepherds pie always had to make him something different, he hasn't got
any better with age either especially being diabetic and not being allowed
to eat some of the cheaper food.
We both love fish but you can't have that every day either and he's fussy
give him something a couple of times and he decides he's gone off it
grrrrrrrrrr he's just a nightmare trying to find something different to
eat everyday g

And you're making me feel hungry especially talking about doughnuts, it's
OK though I've got a couple of cream horns in the fridge and a strawberry
trifle yummy. g


You know Joan, I'm always glad to help!

I don't talk about it because someone always asks 'why' and I'm not in it
for the moralizing, but in '89, when I realized that my sister was
perfectly healthy despite not having eaten meat for three years, I gave
up the farmed variety. You'll notice the dishes I mention that aren't,
say, donuts (which I effectively don't eat anymore anyway) involve
seafood, never bits of mammal.

After a while the smell of meat becomes nauseating. Worst is what it
smells like within a couple of hundred yards of MacDonald's. One bad one
is that dish Noel was talking about the other week. Anything pig-based is
stomach churning. Beef isn't that bad though; possibly because I used to
eat raw steak (round about the time that British beef is supposed to
endow one with CJD).

The smell of (wet) cat food doesn't bother me at all, possibly because
I've never stopped dishing it out; but to me (on my head, son!) the smell
of the *dried* stuff is foul!

I'm sure a lot of people - if as many as that ever came here these days -
will think this explains much!

Perhaps I should talk about tonight's dinner?

(Tagliatelle with salmon - probably with red pepper pesto out of the
jar).

So how do you make Windows Me slice garlic?

Incidentally, today's moniker is to make it *really* easy for the
Government to know who the insults are from.
