Hello all,
Thank you to all of you who have been following my blog thus far, it is nice to know that my writing can be reached out to many people from around the world.
This morning however I received two rather nasty notes in my comments which I will not publish as they were making a statement about my most recent review on “In the Devils Garden” written by Stewart Lee Allen. Unfortunately this person personally attacked me for what I said and how they believed that it would not be a book for foodies or whatever and I had violated some of the terms on here. I was rather speechless as one can imagine so for now I have taken that post off.
The book is indeed a little bit on the gruesome side and when I suggested Heston Blumenthal would be a great person to cook alongside the author, there was no way I was meaning that they recreate what was on the menu that I added on here, that would be disgusting but to create something that would be palatable and of course historic and one their guests would enjoy.
I would also like to stress that if you have made a comment to me in my message box in here and I have not replied, most often than not it has gone to my spam folder and I have deleted it. My apologies for that. The two posts that were sent to me on here this morning were rather shocking and disturbing and it is my hope that this person will think before they act, and realise that the book I reviewed was not meant to be disgusting but another twist on what was considered some of the forbidden food in history which I referenced a few sections of the book to give you my reader’s a snippet of what to expect.
Best wishes to you all.
