Re: Food Glorious Food
Black pudding, very popular with some of the young ladies. The Somalian version is very popular in some areas.
We do not see much of it here in Oz and a bity of black pudding with bacon and eggs goes down a treat.
As to chest infections, I came back with one form this last cruise, had to take penicillin tablets for a week.
My GP said I most likely got it from drinking out of wet glasses.
