Yes I am a fussy eater.

I won't eat celery, under any circumstance. I will eat courgette, but I don't really like it. I will eat any other vegetable you put before me.

I will eat liver and kidneys, and if I have to tripe. No brains. I have eaten lamb's fries. I like meat, but can live without it, at least some of the time.
Refuse to eat foie gras.

No seafood except scallops (maybe). No fish with lots of little bones. Sashimi is good.

No keen on Indian food. Happily enjoyed a meal at a "local" restaurant in Arusha, Tanzania with our guide. He made us promise not to tell his boss he'd taken us there - even though we insisted on it.

So now you know. Not so fussy really .

Celery is second only to courgette as the devils vegetable. No in fact I hate celery even more than I hate courgette.

The very idea of celery soup makes me feel green around the gills .

Home made leek and potato soup tonight for me. I'm on my own and having been given a load of leeks made some soup from some of them just to get rid of them. We have had leeks in practically every form possible until now.
I don't feel like cooking so some soup will do just fine.

You aren't having much luck with electrics are you.

Hope you can have the soup later today.

The freezer isn't on that circuit too is it?

Look out for a new thread soon about 'New Forum Ideas'
It is perfectly normal to have to hot link photos to forums. Plenty of other photo sites you can use instead of Flickr too.

Should have added that Oggy - it is terrible isn't it?

Goat is a staple on La Palma. They have some massive goats too - the size of small cows .

Goat stew is wonderful, and BBQed kid is pretty good too. They also make a very tasty hard goat's cheese there.

One of our dogs is a goat herder from La Palma. Until we saw the size of the goats there we couldn't understand why they needed such big dogs for the job.

Sausages and lentils sounds good.

We had Puy Lentils in Le Puy en Velay (home of the lentil) on our trip back from France. Delicious. Funnily enough though I had the vegetarian meal - and didn't get lentils.

Do I need it? No.
Will I use it? Possibly.

There are occasions when I wish I had video. Not many but sometimes it would be nice to capture a small moment in time in video. I am looking forward to trying it out in any case. We'll see whether it gets used much once I've got the camera.
