That's the window of the butcher's shop in Machynlleth - there to
provoke the trustafarian drop-out community (George Monbiot lives
there) as much as sell meat.

Shock horror, there have always been vegetarians and Henderson's didn't

restaurant with me, they can have the vegetarian option, but when I go to
Henderson's with them and ask for the meat option, they look at me as if I'm
mad?


They're missing out on a good thing, then. Because if you take a
vegetarian anything, over which much effort has to be devoted to make
it tasty, and _just_ _add_ _meat_, *it becomes utterly delicious!


Someone who obviously didn't know any better gave my wife a copy of
Linda McCartney's Recipe Book some years ago. I take great delight in
serving some of the recipes as accompaniments to a nice juicy steak.
