Covid-19, Drinking Responsibly and Alcohol Bans

I enjoyed my favourite pizza in 'Mediterraneo' during the week - a Pizza Puttanesca with anchovies, black olives and capers.

I would normally enjoy a glass of red wine with my pizza, but the ScotGov restrictions mean that restaurants and bars are banned from serving alcohol with food.  

As everyone knows, Scotland has a poor relationship with alcohol and if you ask me, this is an opportune time for a serious, grown-up debate about drinking responsibly, drunkenness and binge drinking.

Yet instead of encouraging an intelligent discussion Scottish Ministers choose to treat the public like irresponsible teenagers by banning alcohol altogether and tarring everyone with the same brush.          

  

Mediterraneo - Pizza and Gelato (03/05/20)



So last night's 'Big Night Out' at home featured some delicious pizza and gelato from Mediterraneo - one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Glasgow.

Mine was a Pizza Puttanesca with anchovies, black olive and capers while Marian had a Pizza Margherita.

My super tasty ice cream was 'fragola' or strawberry flavoured while Marian had her usual 'vaniglia' or vanilla.

In a nice touch, the restaurant gave us waffle cones to take away so we could make our own at home.

Here's a link to Mediterraneo which is on 159 Ingram Street, Glasgow, G1 1DW - 0141 552 0460 http://www.medglasgow.com

Kentucky Fried Seagull

Hugh Fearnley Whitingstall is one of my favourite - and endearingly bonkers - TV chefs. The River Cottage chef has a some imaginative ideas for adding seagulls to the national diet - including a recipe for Kentucky Fried Seagull - would you believe. Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn't... P
