Oh, there I was this morning, all of a quandry. I'd drunkenly invited some VIGs (Very Important Gays) to dinner but hadn't given myself time in my busy daily schedule to actually get to Lidl and buy some top nosh to serve to my guests... Fortunately, on my way home from pilates, I saw a woman drop a parcel as she was leaving Waitrose. It was organic strawberry-fed grey rat from Hungary, I couldn't have ordered a poncier dinner if I'd ordered Cream of Sum Yung Guy from the Golden Shower takeaway. Bavarian Rat makes for an extraordinarily delicate stew, when slow-cooked with aged port and lightly caramelised shallots. A delicacy! Mmmm. Bon Appetit.
