when making stew, I don't know how my wife copes without the kitchen staff . I say staff, but really it's a big stick which she uses to beat me if I don't peel the spuds

dont forget bloody cheese. the italians shove melted cheese on everything. Besides its not 'gunk'. its gravy and juices...mmm....slobber...
Rabbit stew. The best chicken stock, a splash of white wine and herby dumplings. Or beef in stout with crunchy French stick croutons bobbing on top. And yes, shin of beef.
I come from the affluent south, so there's no need to suffer the ignominy of having to eat pigs' feet and the like dipped in lard. It's only the best for the likes of us. Right, I'm off down KFC...
