    You've never done your cabbage or sprouts in the water from your ham?! Ah here!! I was rared on it!

    No, I asked my friends after reading your post, and it seems to be an Irish tradition that completely passed our house by, my Mum has never done it. Unfortunately I can't ask her why not, but I wonder if its because my Dad had a real problem with fat on meat, he loved ham but had to cut every bit of fat off it, so maybe she tried it when they were first married, but the scum on the top of the water put him off?

    But thanks for posting it, having spoken to people, who all swear by it, I shall be trying it :):)

    I'll be having a big bowl of insects on 'Christmas' day. Just doing my bit to save the environment. It's what the UN recommends.
    What about the air-miles on imported insects ?

    And all the packaging , if you get the individually wrapped ones.

    To be fair, making money with meat products in it is stupid. Hindu's take the issue far more seriously than most vegans. Vegan's are annoyed but for hindu's it's a serious religious issue. I'm sure there was an option that didn't have beef (or pork) in it.

    There is probably meat in all notes they absorb a lot of contaminants.

    Most vegans do realise this and go to great lengths to find alternatives, but they have to live their lives and have time constraints like everyone else. Fair fecks to them for trying, imo.

    People get smug because they'll probably never make their life 100% vegan which is just pathetic.

    Simply pointing out that you can try. But Nigh impossible.

    The anmial rights brigade are now telling us that we can't eat meat on Christmas Day.

    This is another example of Political Correctness gone mad.

    Fair enough, there's good eating in an isopod.

    It's possible to get close to 100% vegan-basically by avoiding anything processed- and every little bit counts.

    I love the dark meat on the turkey.
    Yeah, you can really taste the sweetness from the dark meat. (Or at least that's what I heard Dáithí Ó Sé say the other day.)
