Back From The Local Shops

I bought a stamp and it had The Doctor's head on it- as incarnated by Paul McGann. Hooray!

Why are steak and kidney pies off the menu? I've tried in two supermarkets now and neither had steak and kidney on offer (at least not in the cheaper range). Is it something to do with the horsemeat scandal or is the British public turning its back on offal? Perhaps it's the latter. I got asked last night in an online survey if I'd ever eaten devilled kidneys (with the context implying it was an exotic dish on a par with frogs legs.) I love kidney. One of the greatest meals I've ever eaten (at a restaurant just up the road from Ferney-Voltaire) had kidneys in it.

I saw steak and kidney pies last evening in M&S

We don't have one of those locally, but I'm told we may be getting one- which would be good.

Their clothing range has gone down the toilet so far as I am concerned, but we DO like the quality of their food.

The food's good, but horribly expensive...
