At the age of 30, I wouldn't eat fish. Yuck, fish?! A few, or more years later, I am reformed & even make my own sushi. I am a huge fan of comfort food & the classics. I learned that if prepared properly, I will eat just about anything although I don't want to know what it is. I draw the line at offal, fish-heads, chicken feet, head cheese and the ever memorable: pregnant smelt. I'll leave that to the Stuart & Bill: Have fun boys!
