The Consultants Verdict

Had an appointment with my consultant urologist today. The mass on my left kidney was Renal Cell Cancer but this was completely removed by the Nephrectomy in October.
There will be a review in June 2013 following another CT scan a month earlier.

Time to get back to normal methinks

Whose got a nice Bacon Collar joint for sale ?

So Christmas is just around the corner and the stores are telling us the benefits of shopping with them. Aside from presents Xmas would not be the same without our traditional foods. Individual traditions may vary but most I suspect go for the Turkey dinner although Chicken, Duck or Goose are also favourites as is Roast Beef.

We usually go for the turkey but on Boxing Day boiled bacon is a must. Not any boiled bacon mind you, it must be a collar joint as pictured below. However this is where problems arise, the standard superstore offering all year is Gammon. An Internet search will produce a Collar joint at a price but one should not have to go to these lengths for what should be a standard offering.

Fortunately, I did find a Collar joint at Morrison's last year. Hopefully they will have some this year. Can anyone tell me where all the collar bacon goes.
