Where do I get > them? Yes - they're the white fillets that taste lemoney and sharp and are a far cry from the horrible brown salty things that you find on pizzas. Absolutely delicious. They're pretty easy to find, now that Spanish food is dead trendy. Brindisa (Borough Mkt, and a shop on Exmouth Market) have the best ones I've found. Even Sainsbury's sell them now, mind. And you could probably get them at Selfridges or Fortnums or the like. Although the best place I ever found was the little Italian butcher's on Theobalds Road (Holborn), which was selling them at 15UKP per kilo. Mind, since the oil spill off the Spanish coast last year, prices have nearly tripled: ISTR that Brindisa had them priced at 4.50 for 100g at retail. Which is harsh, to say the least... But they're brilliant on just about everything. Especially just on plain brown toast... Mmmm... -- Tom Sulston +44 77 99 89 80 44 http://www.glitter.org.ukThere's stuff above here
