 Quite often when watching a sporting game of some sort, with real high quality, some insufferably smug git (often me TBH) will say something along the lines of “Football/Cricket/Kabaddi was the real winner”. I think it is fair to say that no one will be saying that about boxing after the events leading up to, and after the fight in Munich last night.
Del Boy Chisora
It would be probably dishonest to pretend that “shenanigens” and the sense of danger wasn’t a part of the appeal of the sport of boxing,

 Decided a bit of an experiment was in order with some Smoked Mackerel I had that needed using up. Would it be ok in a curry? I decided to fearlessly try basing my dish losely on a Goan Fish curry I made for some pals just before new year.
Mackerel and Potato Curry

1 Packet Smoked Mackerel
2 Onions roughly diced
2 Medium Sized Potatos
1 400ml Tin of Coconut Milk
150ml Passata

Anyone who follows me on Twitter, or is a friend on Facebook will know I am a big fan of Mario Balotelli. The man is box office and as a top flight neutral I can’t help loving everything about the circus that goes with Mario Balotelli.
Yesterday, in a cracking game at the Etihad, Balotelli was once again at the centre of attention, plus ça change. He has be embroiled in a stamping controversy and I thought I would have my 2 cents. Now before I start I want to make

Fat holiday snap.
Ealier this year I visit the Doctor about (amongst other things, I am a massive hypochondriac) a vague feeling that I was starting to get a little fleshy. I had just seen some holiday snaps form when me and my brother went to see the olds in Portugal and frankly it was hard to pretend that I wasn’t well, frankly, a bloater. I am a vain, vain man who really likes few things

I had some fresh Tarragon left over from cooking (extremely nice) Haddock Provençal the other day and thus was seeking an appropriate nice use for it that fitted in with my low cholesterol diet.
The following is basically an amalgamation of about three or four different recipes and some suggestions off twitter. Should serve two.
This was awesome!

3 Chicken Breasts
3 Large cloves Garlic
Lemon Juice
Tarragon
1 Onion
Dijon Mustard
Reduced fat Crème Fraiche
Black Pepper
Cherry Tomatoes
Olive Oil
Tagliatelle
In a roasting dish liberally pour some olive

What all the fuss is about!
So this Google Plus is the new black right? I may not be a devoted follower of fashion, but as a full on Neophile I cannae resist a new technology-ey thing! And seeing as all the cool kids are on Google Plus (all right none of the cool kids, but all the geeks, nerds and internet weirdos are!) I was desperate to give it a go.
Thanks to an internet pal Mr603 of Unmemorable Title, an SEO guru (Yay!) and a big Leeds United fan

Like pretty much everyone else I have been utterly astonished, horrified and disgusted by the recent “News of the world” hacking allegations. It beggars belief that something so crass and awful could have happened. In pursuit of a gutter press story giving false hope to the parents of a missing girl.
Being a politico, a blogger, a follower of the media and a subscriber to Private Eye I have been following this story with interest for quite some time, and been pretty disappointed that the story didn’t capture the popular imagination

Been experimenting quite a lot in the kitchen of late due to my low cholesterol diet. If I am entirely honest the results have been decided mixed, but last night we had one in the “win” column and I thought I’d publish it here (as much so I don’t forget how I did it as thinking my readers might be interested!).
So I wanted something spicy, and Sugar Snap Peas were on offer in Morrisons and this is what I came up with.
Ingredients
300g Diced Chicken

Yesterday I read with interest Ian Silvera’s LabourList post “How to get more women and ethnic minorities into politics: the sober way”.
Ian started by saying “Positive discrimination is oxymoronic”. And for me this is the essence of where both Ian’s article, and argument, goes wrong. Let’s be clear about this – there is nothing necessarily wrong with discrimination. That might seem an odd thing for a Labour activist to say but it is true.
Our society discriminates all the time, with

 I have not posted an recipes here at Lunchtime Legend since the end of Vegtember. But I recently discovered my Cholesterol levels were a bit high (and I also realised I was becoming a big fat pig!) so have embarked on a low cholesterol diet. Thinking differently about cooking always sparks my muse a little and therefore I am on one at the moment so regular readers might see a few of these.
In my RSS feed James Ramsden’s new post about a Mackerel, Oyster and Wasabi roll (and Jeez
