A friend of mine who is a former biologist successfully put me off shrimp and prawns for life quite recently. We were at a press launch and when the waitress brought over some free shrimp and dips, I eagerly tucked in.

I asked him why he refused to accept the offer and he replied: "Basically, what you are eating is an underwater cockroach."

I haven't had one since although I did have lobster on Christmas Day.

I've always thoughtthat prawn cocktail was an evil invention now I know.

Nothing like a well made sausage (none of that bread and fat filled rubbish) quality meat, hand made - perfect.
