With me it would be sausage in batter (mouth still waters when I see them in the chip shop) and haggis (family holidays were mostly spent in Scotland and I was too young to know quite what they were, just loved the spicy richness). I really love cheese, but I appreciate the reduction in bad dreams even more… No’ fair.

I luv my meat. And cheese. Everytime I ask a long-term veggie/vegan if there’s any meat product they miss, the answer is invarioubly ‘bacon’.

Interesting – so you too are intending to go back on the hallucinogens? I loved smoking. Sigh, but giving up was prompted by statistics indicating higher instances of cot death even when people didn’t smoke in the house. For the last couple of years Amy and Gabes haven’t demanded to watch tv, but I guess at some point they’re going to. It’s just such a relief not to be bombarded with ads on ITV/C4 and programme trailers on the Beeb. So much of the kids content, too, is inane or avaricious. As to meat, can’t ever see myself going back to it, but then I was never a huge fan anyway.
