Foods I cannot eat
Fois Gras: It is a bit odd that they force feed birds to ensure a fatty liver when they are slaughtered, but then to throw the liver in a blender with some butter and spread it over bread is just sick and wrong.

Welcome to my new website, where I will test my technical poweress and try to share some of my euro-living with you.
