Turn-off for the politically correct

Don't worry, I am not a post- liberal- reactionary Conservative. I do sometimes read the Guardian, or its italian counterpart 'La Republicca' (Just recently they ran an artical on same sex marriages and a help guide to the huge number of Italians who would like to concieve with their gay partner. Did this survey include anyone from the Mezzogiorno? No, a Milanese- Danish couple and a pair from the tyrol region with German sounding surnames).

Like any self-professed gluton, I lose anysight of political correctness where food is concerned. I really tried to go veggie on several occasions. Unlike my brother, who had a good few years of absteemiousness untill the first whiff of foie-gras in the Dordogne, I surcame after a couple of days and the advent of a roast dinner (wasn't the meat but the lack of gravy that got me).

And neo-nati are illegal for good reason, i.e the overfishing of the meditterrean to supply themselves and the far-east with its fruits. And these are babies, 'newly born's. Trouble is, they taste very good when dipped in batter with spring onion and parsley. And while not legal to eat in the strict sense, one finds them everywhere in Sicily in the summer months.
