Foods we never used to appreciate

Lamb shanks have been one of my favourite foods* since before I started school. These days I can only afford them every few months! On the other hand, I regularly eat brussell sprouts, and have at least tolerated them for most of my life.

*for about a decade, my father and his brother went together into the Homebush abattoir every Thursday morning early, bought a hoggett at wholesale price, and took it home, before cutting it in two down the backbone with a hacksaw to split it between the two families.

Brussel sprouts, along with the other brassicas, are extremely good for your liver, and can definitely help reduce liver fattiness that leads to cirrhosis. They are also rich in vitamin K.
Something else I have learned to tolerate is good organic sauerkraut, which has all the goodness of cabbage, with the added advantage of being fermented, making it far better than fermented milk, such as yoghurt or that stuff in tiny bottles.

Nah, gunna train a Chihuahua as a hopper dog.

I used to buy hind shanks. Beautiful when slow cooked. These days I'm wondering if you can slow cook wool. It's about the only bit of the bloody sheep I can afford.

Hmmm, so there is actually something Brussel Sprouts are good for. Fatty liver and after eating rat poison.

Good for lowering LDL cholesterol too, S.
