      Bolognese sauce (prime Scottish mince, none of yer English muck), penne pasta, a tomato and onion side salad with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, herbs and green pesto, some freshly grated parmesan, and a nice chilled Chablis.

      And that's a permie supper, I should point out. However, I may soon be tempted back to the fold, if a gig in Amsterdam comes off.

              DaveB has the idea. You have to eat so you may as well eat well.

              For myself, rib of 35 day matured locally reared beef, with Yorkshire pudding, roast parsnips and potatoes, cauliflower and carrots, with red wine and onion gravy. Scrumptious.

              Aunt Bessie was nowhere in sight.

                TBH it's all that Hugh Fernley whassiface's fault. Other half bought me the River Cottage Meat Book so I've been trawling the local butchers looking for decent local meat. Looks like we found a winner with the Lamb.

                  You've hit the nail on the head, DaveB. The local butcher and/or farm outlet is the only place now where you can buy the really good quality meat. All the stuff in the supermarkets (even the supposed top end ones) is second rate at best and most is produced overseas, even if it's marked "Produce of the UK". The label shows where the last stage of processing occurred so, for example, most supermarket chickens come from Thailand but are packed in the UK so can legally be labelled as UK chickens.

                    So long as it's all Halal, you'll be OK with your 70 virgins.
