BRISKET! The word which brings smiles to the faces of barbecue enthusiasts all over the UK. It’s not just an excuse for us to spend hours pawing tenderly over our barbecues whilst this massive slab of meat slowly roasts away, the results of our labour of love are phenomenal. There is a reason why patrons…

VIVA LA FRANCE!
I honestly know just about as much about French food prior to doing this post than Del Boy knows about the Lingo. Very, little. I did in fact spend a brief stint in Paris in my youth. Aged 19, some hapless idiot employed me as a Security Guard. Clearly whatever I was guarding at the…

FOOD & MARRIAGE
It’s our wedding anniversary this week. Four years ago I stood at the top of an aisle in a converted barn in Suffolk declaring to the world that I had chosen the fellow weirdo who I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

CAPTAIN CAVEMAN
THE DILEMMA I’ve finally found the downside to getting involved in American style celebrations. Christmas is coming and I’m still trying to recover from Thanksgiving. It’s not just my bank balance that needs to go on a diet, right now I am dangerously close to shopping in the Big and Tall section. Not good… I’m…

It was Einstein who said; “you have to learn the rules of the game…

MY SEXY BUTT
Unfortunately we are not discussing my derriere. I have been told that it is rather ample for a man although it makes buying jeans an absolute bastard! The bloody era of Indie and 16 year old pop stars has not done anything to assist the cause either when skinny jeans became all the rage. No…

(LUCK OF THE) IRISH BARBECUE
From last week’s blog post we travel from the Land of brisket barbecue, Texas to… Ireland? Wait, wait, wait hear me out. You might just be interested to know that not everything in Ireland is boiled. But before we head into the facts, another Irish themed Jack connotation for you readers as told by me…

YEE HAW! TEXAS BARBECUE
Like most little boys, when I was a young wee Jack I knew I wanted to be a Cowboy when I grew up. Not the sort of Cowboy that would tarmac your drive for £9.50, a true Texan Cowboy. I would often imagine myself as a gun slinger, drinking in old style saloons and lassoing cattle…
