Allergies

I've got a shellfish allergy - don't ask me too much about this - as I only know through trial and error, and there's only so many afternoons/evenings I want to spend hugging the toilet to find out whether molluscs are in or out. But I thought I'd talk about some of the recent challenges …

Chish and Fips

Today's post is all about fish and chips - and not that isn't some dreadful spelling of a title, my Grandad always used to call them chish and fips so I've decided alongside banana balls, this is my attempt to change our culinary lifestyles.
