Was during the BSE scare to get past the European import restrictions on beef.

Originally invented by a Scots chap to feed Napoleon's army while fighting the Prussians.

WHS. Also makes for a delicious evening beverage.

I prefer to call it connective tissue, thank you very much.

I guess it took hours to get rid of the taste!
