Junk Food Feasting is Doubly Dangerous
A tale from the dark side. Not only is eating junk food hazardous to your health, it’s also a hazard to your wallet.
This cautionary tale is taken from the The Sun newspaper via the Herald Sun.
“A FAST-food fiend is outraged after being slapped with a £150 fine for staying too long in a KFC carpark in Britain while she and a mate gorged on a huge meal.

Recipe of the Month – Mackerel with Samphire, Gooseberry & Mustard Puree
Ransom's Restaurant
This month’s recipe from Food Lovers Britain is from Chef Naz of Ramson’s Restaurant. He has chosen a summery version of the classic mackerel and gooseberry combination.
Mackerel is a summer fish, but must be line-caught as it is invariably damaged when it is trawled; ensure that the fish does not feel soft and has no fishy smell. Samphire (which you would get from a good fishmonger) and gooseberries (which should be quite hard and very green) are summer produce too, providing flavours and textures which complement lightly cooked mackerel to perfection.
