    I bought a couple of lambs' hearts from the butcher the other day, and used the recipe in Fergus Henderson's 'Nose to Tail Eating'.

    • Clean and trim the hearts
    • gently fry chopped onions and garlic
    • add red wine and simmer
    • add chunks of day-old (i.e. slightly dry) bread
    • smoosh together
    • add chopped sage and allow to cool
    • stuff hearts, then cover the opening with strips of bacon and tie into place
    • in a covered pot, cook gently in chicken stock for about 2 and a half hours
    • take out hearts, allow to rest somewhere warm under foil, while you reduce the cooking liquid
    • strain the liquid to use as gravy and serve up the hearts with mashed potatoes and marrowfat peas

    ...and very very nice it was, too. :)

    I'm enjoying the game reviews.

    "The ubiquity of Tetris is also because it is highly addictive. Its repetitive gameplay and use of a repetitive Russian folk tune causes players to slip into a hypnagogic state, making them receptive to the Communistic themes inherent in the game imagery (everyone is an unindividualistic block that must be made to fit together in Soviet conformity, and sometimes whole lines of people are made to disappear without any explanation). This is intentional, since, like all work done by the Soviet Academy of Science where Tetris was developed, it was part of secret military research"
