I did post the recipe in a thread earlier in the year. Try searching for it in the deli section. If not, then let me know and I'll re type it.

Football heaven Live standing in a noisy environment with my mates plenty of atmosphere with a beer in my hand and happiness exuding through every part of me. .

Football Hell.... 4AM, on your own, half asleep, watching something that used to be a major part of my life 30+ years ago. Desperate Lonely stuff.

Home Heaven... Having the wife to myself without kids intrusions on a Friday evening with some good wine.

Home Hell.... Having days and days mapped out and regimented to hell... all based around the kids.

Always surprises me how many Brits don't like seafood. Strange for an island nation .

Food heaven. Moules frites with a crusty baguette.

Food hell. Will eat most things and can't think of anything off hand.even Brussels sprouts which I disliked with a passion as a kid I now enjoy. Oh just thought of one. Was recently with my wife's family, they where all going crazy over a large bowl of freshly chopped up Durian. Could not for the life of me understand why, smells rank and doesn't taste much better

I always think the same, particularly as there is some spectacular seafood in the UK.

I could see how you would feel like that. I could quite happily go meat free and just live off seafood.

I'm currently sampling a box of Yorkshire Tea......I prefer Earl Grey as I don't take milk, but I quite like it as long as I dilute it enough. One teabag makes 6 mugs!!!!
