Hope you get over being diseased and dilapidated soon and get back into the kitchen. I'm very conscious of animal welfare when I'm buying my groceries, so I certainly wouldn't buy the poor "reviled whitebait!"

The others were all in England and written, it seems by English speakers. I'm not really sure what conclusion to draw from that. However, I'm ordering a plate of young cow's laughter at the earliest opportunity.

One dish that springs to mind was described as "young cow's laughter in his grandmother's blue".....your guess is as good as mine as to what it actually was.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.com
