Great policy .. now they are starving the children...

that was my father's policy, (you don't like what your mother made...fine...it'll wait until your hungry enough to eat it) and it usually worked. Except when he tried to make me eat brussell sprouts. There was nothing in the world...including his belt...that could make me eat those awful lumps of sh*t.

Brussels sprouts are very easy to ruin and almost impossible to cook properly, but it can be done. Truly fresh brussels sprouts, lightly steamed and buttered are exquisite.

I can safely say that I never had a bad meal any of the times I've been in England. I've declined to eat a few things, particularly at breakfast, but always been able to find something decent. BBQ beans and fried eggs with toast make a lovely breakfast, but hold the white, mushy, flavourless, deep-fried sausage shaped things. Ewwwww. Yuck. Bleh. Ptui!

I used to shove my liver down my knee socks and feed it to the dog. :)
