Did somebody say recession?

Apperently times are harder for some than for others if Selfridges reckon they will sell a leg of ham at a price of more than £250 a kilo (and than includes the bone!) according to the BBC.

You would want to be sparing with the Branston on that wouldn’t you?

Seriously, I would love to taste it, just like I would love to taste that Japanese Kobe beef, just to see if it really does taste hundreds of times better.  My limited experience with upmarket booze has been that once you get above supermarket own brand quality something costing twice as much only tastes a little better at best.

For me it is a bit like high-end audio, where you spend thousands for each incremental improvement on a distinctly flattening curve – best left to the fanatics with more money than sense of proportion.
