I like turnip, swedes and the like. I eat the stuff two or three times a week, gnawing a big chunk of it raw for a snack and with meals too where iit takes on a whole new flavour when cooked.

It grows outside and spends most of its time buried in the ground with worms and just about every insect larva imaginable crawling over it. Birds shit on it from above and small mammals piss all over the exposed parts.

Today my daughter (19 y/o) dropped a piece on the kitchen floor and refused to eat it even after I'd rinsed it under the tap. Apparently it was 'dirty'.

I'm considering the possibilities afforded by fish and chips tonight. Have a brand new bottle of malt vinegar and everything.

is that a refrigerate after opening or can I just stick it back in the cupboard? I don't usually buy the stuff, but when I had the hankering for fish-bits, I happened to notice it on the shelf in the condiments aisle.

All vinegars are too acidic to worry about refrigeration.

Mr. Clod is making French Onion Soup.

The soup is really great, to be sure, but the most important part of the recipe is the first four words.

Chicken Noodle Barley Soup followed by fish and chips and battered mushrooms and baked beans. I've been reeeeeeeally good fooddietwise all weekend until this...... but I left most of the chips, so that's kind of good, right?
