Forbidden Pleasures

Today I've been indulging in something that would be illegal back home in England.... Well actually, making it and consuming it would be quite legal - it's just the main ingredient that is banned... So, when I saw it on the shelf in the supermarket I couldn't resist!

Browned in the pan, a few root vegetables and then three hours slow cooking in the oven and it's delicious stewed oxtail for dinner.

All of which means that if in fifteen years I develop Creutzfeldt-Jakob's disease you know just what to put it down to...

Living dangerously or what!

Karin and I are not allowed to donate blood in NL because we are presumed to have eaten too much roast beef! There are rules about how many days you may have spent in the UK in recent years...

I don't get to donate blood here either.... worried about me frothing at the mouth or something. :-)
