Had he not already mentioned it on this particular thread I would be tempted to start a thread on the man himself and what a legend etc. All I'm saying is, when Piers has hinted he has cooked and on his own, get him round... He brought aforementioned bacon cooked in goose fat around, along with a bottle of sherry and what a splendid way to spend Sunday evening. He is a wimp when not on home turf tho' and complained about "work in the morning" - pffft. You mention one bottle of scotch....
