Will Mackerel be on your shopping list?

All the best Jan

Really need to be very fresh, or tinned. You just reminded me I bought some peppered mackerel and didn't eat it yet, what with all the rump steak, lamb's liver, sausages, chicken breasts and pheasant breasts. This will be remedied shortly.

Peppered mackerel - love it!

Think I may put that on my shopping list - thanks Chris

All the best Jan
