Not that any of their diet maybe stored in their flesh !

I would prefer an organ that has filtered mickey than flesh which is probably full of heavy metals pcbs etc etc

The local delicacy in Carlisle appears to be patties which are large battered balls of meat or cheese. I've been here 6 years and haven't plucked up the courage to try one.

There are 2 types of Pattie in most Cumbrian chippies. The first one is a layer of potato, then onion, then sage, onion and potato again and deep fried. The second one is a meat Pattie where a layer of mince replaces the sage in the first one. The one with cheese is not a Pattie but is a rounder - you can get a cheese rounder or a meat rounder which are spherical whereas the Pattie is a flatter disc shape.

On the subject of chippies I'll never forget the look I got when, after ordering fish and chips somewhere in Essex, I asked for scrapings on it. They had absolutely no idea what I was on about and looked at me like I was mental.

The ones in Carlise are spherical but they still call the patties
