So there I was watching Saturday Morning Kitchen this morning when a very disturbing thought hit me. We have a great pork butchers in Ripon called Appleton's. Amongst lots of really nice things they sell is pieces of roast pork belly. From time to time we buy a piece and Jan feeds it to me as a 'snack.' Watching SMK this morning they cooked a pork belly and treated the skin separately to make a really tasty looking crackling.
That's when it hit me, Jan has never ever given me the crackling from the pork belly we buy and when I faced her with this dereliction of 'duty' all she could do was giggle and admit that she has always eaten it herself and has never given me any!
Talk about being kicked in the nuts!
So sad! He's wasting away. And he doesn't know how many other things are 'hidden away'.
ReplyDeleteShameful Jan.... poor Alex being deprived of his basic human needs!
ReplyDeleteI love crackling too. By the way, have just placed an order with Farmison. They have a small Chateaubriand on sale at the moment.
It's not the only thing I'm being deprived of but that's another story.
