On the Road
I am heading to Bath yet again tomorrow, for my very final year in it's hallowed halls. Hopefully all will be fine, and undoubtedly I shall continue posting on this fine blog for your continued enjoyment.Often, when reading the recipes for certain foods, I often wonder how people discovered that such things were nice in the first place, when some recipes involve cooking things for about 6 hours. The best surely has to be that highly poisonous fish that can be prepared in such a way as it doesn't kill people. How on earth did someone discover that one? I guess someone who was heavily addicted to danger, or just really hungry, and couldn't be bothered to go to the shops instead, so cut a fish a lot into tiny pieces. I always sort of think with desperate dishes like that, however, that as I am NOT desperate, I don't have to eat a deadly fish, or a locust, or nettle soup for that matter, and can eat nice normal things that better off people enjoyed. Maybe I'm not exciting enough, but the possibility of the food I am eating containing deadly poison is normally enough to put me off eating it....

Baked beans are the food I detest most! In gravy!
I kinda wanted to try fugu, but the thought of how annoyed i'd if I ate a stupid poisonous fish and died put me off.
It was the wrong time of year too, apparently it's safer in winter for some reason.
