hill with a huge basket of fruit and plonked it down for them, gasping
for air. There were apples, bananas, plums and grapes - it felt like a
hospital visit to a huge family of porcine invalids. There were also
teacakes and - dare I admit - Rhodda's Cornish clotted cream (a kilo
of it...)I did think twice before bringing this last item and not
because it was two days out of date, though still good. Then I
remembered that Parma ham is made from pigs that have been fattened on
the whey from parmesan production, and very tasty it is too. And as
for the old adage that a moment on the lips... well, a lifetime on the
hips is exactly what the pigs need and I don't see why they should be
any less spoilt than their Italian counterparts.
I did hear somewhere that Gordon Ramsay complained Sarah Boyle has a
face like a pig - how insulting, my daughter said, coming from someone
with a face like crackling...
