Does St Peter provide allergen information?
Only on entry, dere. Something along the lines of âSorry about the shellfish thing, but while these gates may look pearly, they are untouched by mortal bivalve. And youâre dead anyway. Stop stressing.â

Iâm allergic to Anchovies ⌠and canned beer.
There. Iâve said it now.
(Individually, Iâve never tried them as a pairing)
Canned beer has changed. In the 80s and 90s I tended to avoid it because of the taste, but Iâve recently met some Thwaitesâ Champion Dark Mild in tins which works remarkably well.
It gives me the most intense headaches though. Real forehead splitters. (Maybe I should open the can !!!)
Itâs really not worth trying, to find out.
Mind you, say âI canât drink canned beerâ to many people and they treat you like itâs a disability. Sort of âOh dear. How do you manage ???â
Though Thwaites Dark Mild takes me back. Very good it always was in my youth. One to seek out. Now Armitage ⌠is it worth a headache. Mmmmm
Might it be worth pouring it out of the can and leaving it to stand in a mug for a bit? I donât drink it myself, but the whateveritis of cannedness might dissipate.
Same treatment for the anchovies? or only purchase ones in jars?
Does decanting improve anchovies?
Recanting does, if theyâve only been out of the briny a short time. Or if they have strayed into heresy
I have met a canned fish. It was singing, I think.
Gawd. Nothing unseemly, I hope.
It could only be this.
When I offered to pass the grapes to a friend one lunchtime, he replied âI prefer my grapes fermentedâ.
