GOOD OLD JOHN WEST




This is really for Rustan who will be interested in the picture above. One new delicacy we had with our Swedish breakfast a coupe of weeks ago at Rustan's place was, to the disgust of JD, smoked mussels. Rustan recommends them with a tot of whisky on the high seas whilst out sailing. We had to make do with them at the table but they were none the less delicious. So when I was out shopping on Thursday I was wondering if Tesco's stocked them They did and I bought them. However, will they be as tasty as their Swedish counterpart? I can remember the saga of the anchovies. I'll let you know. We are off to dinner at Liam's tonight. 'I'll go anywhere for a free meal' JD is invited. I think I'll take them along
