Eeeeew, I couldn't eat sheep brains for love nor money!
What do they taste like? I suppose your Turk must like them : it's a Turkish dish isn't it - brain soup?
Have you ever been to Turkey?
Talking of cups, I'm very finicky with my cups, mugs and glasses. When I have tea (which is rare) I too have to drink out of very thin china cups; but when I drink coffee (my favourite) I can only drink it out of proper coffee cups or a coffee mug. Strange isn't it? I'm the same when drinking alcohol - I have to drink out of very thin crystal glasses. I cannot stand thick-rimmed glasses!
I don't think it's just an idiosyncracy - I actually think the drinks taste better if you drink them out of the appropriate cups/glasses.
Your maid missed out there!
I like your stories, Nick. They do make me laugh!
By the way, Ruby will be posting later today (sorry I barged in on her post
) she's gone for a pampering session this morning, so should come back all refreshed and relaxed!

Hi Strawbs
Actually I can't bear anything that comes from the 'insides' of an animal...liver, heart, kidney, etc. for all my ramblings and my
alter ego, I am a bit of a softie when it comes to respect and kindness to animals and people
. Unlike most Saffies, I barely eat meat, I only eat chicken and fish ...my Turk is also quite fussy, he does eat some lamb, ah yes and those horrible raw kofte things but nothing else odd...
ha ha ha
Yip I have been to Turkey plenty times, I don't really go to the coast much because we are so spoilt here in Africa with the most beautiful beaches and coastline. Zululand and Mozambique beaches are just so magnificent with awesome corral reefs and diving, it's difficult to compare them with anywhere else. I am allergic to resort areas and the sycophantic circle of slimy workers and half-witted drunken women that inhabit them.
I enjoy the road less travelled in Turkey, and my passions are photography and art..so that is what I indulge!
Ahhhh, I know what you mean about the right receptacle. I am a tea junkie and I also like to drink my tea from china cups......but I am not soooo 'Precious' about it that I can't enjoy a cup of cay in a glass container, although I find it hellish strong and never throw in all that sugar. When I was in Argentina, everybody drank Mate, it is a herbal tea that tastes like a cross between donkeys piss and marijuana....keeps everyone very happy and thin. Should try it the UK, might stop the riots...keep the yobos (sic) melllow and the flabbies trim.
Cheers
