I always understood it to be like pork.

But regardless of whether it's like chicken or pork - why not eat chicken or pork?

Was he a nutter?

I thought it would be more like pork, but any random meat always seems to "taste like chicken". Allegedly.

I think it was the two birds with one stone scenario; satisfy your need for homicide and hunger in one go.

According to Will Graham in Manhunter, Lecter was insane. That's why he caught him.

It's ok actually, tastes like chicken. Quite good slow roasted with seasonal vegetables.

That's something I never understood about Hannibal Lector - why did he like eating other people?

The trouble you have to go to can't be worth it for taste alone - the taste can't be that different to some other meats.

Above comment doesn't apply to Giant Alien Lizards of course

Giant Alien Lizards like wine too... particularly chianti.

Given the lack of opposable thumbs, presumably you have to eat the bottle to get the wine, yes?

[Chugnut]

Ahhh, ironically I had a fair amount of wine yesterday and missed that - my apologies...

No apology necessary my friend; wine is always an acceptable excuse.

It was a reply to Zeitghost, hence lizard instead of owl.

"Do you like our Lizard?"

"It's artificial?"

"Of course it is."

"Must be expensive."

"Very".

There is however a serious point here, which is that many middle class people are drinking one to two bottles of wine every evening when they get home from work, causing liver problems. [..]

If you think town dwellers put it away, you should see how much they drink in the country.

On the day of the countryside march a few years ago I had to take the tube, and happened to be in a carriage full of farmers, judging by their west country growls and drawls like Robert Newton in Treasure Island, and long sticks, and their comical reaction to seeing a fox by the tracks.

They all had red faces, glowing like re-entry vehicles (no one could get _that_ much fresh air!), and the smell of spirits was literally overpowering, no exaggeration I almost felt faint and _I_ think nothing of polishing off half a bottle of brandy in an evening, but this was 10am ! The carriage literally smelled like somone had taken several crates of brandy bottles and smashed them one by one on the floor

Guilty


Er, guilty

I never used to touch the stuff very much until about about twelve years ago when my GF at the time and I took a wine appreciation course at the local college.

Can I sue the college for the damage that is apparently now being done?

admitting to the problem is the first stage towards dealing with it, assuming you think it is a problem of course

Judging from some of the gargled drivel that is posted here after 6 o'clock, I would imagine that there is a "healthy" contingent of "two bottles per evening plus" on this site.

Since when did council houses have cellars?

Dunno..ask Rosemary West...probably in 12 years when she is released (2019) at the age of 66.
