Not Proud

[poliphilo]

I've started eating meat. It's France that's to blame. You scour the menu for the vegetarian option and all they've got is crudites- you know, raw carrot and zucchini and stuff- so I made a decision before we went-  for the next five days I'm a carnivore.

What I hadn't been prepared for was how my energy levels went up. 

But I'm going to insist we buy meat that's been raised ethically. That's my quarrel with meat-eating- not that I'm sentimental about animals, because I'm not- but that industrial farming is disgusting. 

Last night we had lamb steaks- in a mushroom sauce- with mashed potato. 

I'd forgotten food could be such fun.

Now there's the advantage of living out in the country.

Our local supermarkets sell what they call organic produce but you have to take their word for it.

True, we know where our butcher gets his meat from. The eggs are the best i've tasted and the fruit and veg superb, but herbs are a problem ... they either wilt in the heat or rot in the humidity in summer ... apart from parsley and coriander, we have to buy them minced in tubes.
