I had a quick look - are they recipes I like the sound of to bother plodding through the videos? You can't have a quick look at all and fair dos, I dunno what I might miss - but if I've lived to age 67 without them, I daresay I can carry on not knowing.

I mean eg you see something new that you've never heard of - you have a look at the ingredients and if there's squid or mussels in it - if you're me, you don't buy it .....
 
Pete will have a steaming dish of moules - bog standard Mariniere or a la crème - and he may feed me one or two - but then I've just had ENOUGH. And as for battered, deep fried fishy elastic bands - how on earth can people like em? And don't mention squid in their own ink - Yuk yuk yuk. I do like all white fish I've ever tasted cooked in all sorts of different ways, also sardines and mackerel, trout, salmon, shellfish large and small from shrimps to a lobster. Hence - you can't have the moules but you're pretty welcome to the squid from both of us.

But there again he hates lamb - even the pong of a lamb chop being barbecued 3 doors away will make him heave! I love it and he relents sometimes, however I do try not to, then if there's lamb on the menu when we're out, I'll sometimes have it as a 'treat' because hopefully when it's eg a braised shank or something I'd have mint sauce with, the 'sweet' smell won't be so pervasive - and I can enjoy it without moaning in my one earole !

I hear your pain..... Last time lamb was cooked in the house was when Mum was over for a visit..... Other than that, Bonnie won't entertain the notion of having Lamb..... As for Liver, I recently sneaked some into the house (you rarely see it on supermarket shelves here) as a tasty treat for the dogs & myself, oh I heard about it all right when she got home....:(
 
We both like liver - trouble is round here the supermarkets sell it in massive amounts so if we have any we land up throwing half of it away (not having a dog handy to eat the rest LOL) I love kidneys too, drool.

It (liver or kidneys) was a weekly staple when we were kids - must be 20 years since I've seen a pork chop being sold with the kidney in, even.
 
I like liver too - especially liver and bacon slow-cooked in a casserole dish 🙂 I can't remember the last time I saw any in a supermarket though, certainly not in the small local ones near where I live.

Our dog simply wouldn't eat anything other than cooked liver and dog biscuits - she would starve rather than eat dog food! 😱 🙂 She did live to 18 though! 🙂
