My daughter was cooking a gammon steak for her lunch at work and was about to put it on a plate when she realised just what it looked like.
She took the piccie with her mobile 'phone and sent it to me in an e.mail. Almost perfect in every detail don't uou think?!!

Sometimes I'm glad I'm a vegetarian! Although now I'm going to start looking for cryptic messages in my vegetables.

Very cool picture. I thought it looked like a pig as soon as I saw it! Thanks for saying what a gammon steak was...I love learning all the 'lingo' from around the world for everday things. Isn't the stew just great?
