Ah, yes, at home -- I often wouldn't eat the dishes of my childhood when I was away. Somehow made the homesickness worse, not better.

Hmm I'll have to see if I can find that here. I've done alright making some of it, but mostly I'm spoiled by David's cooking skills and my own adventurous palate.

I quite miss cockatrice meat, though. I have not found an equivalent, though chicken is certainly easier to cook. Cockatrices are three or four feet tall and will charge you. I suppose I haven't mentioned I was somewhat of a huntsman on top of being a pirate -- good way to make money and to eat.
