I have to say that being a lover of food (if not quite a connoisseur) I was both alarmed and disappointed – distressed even – that boffins are now suggesting that the traditional Sunday roast may elevate the risk of heart problems. For centuries, the British have won wars, made major inventions and discovered life-changing science, sustained only by the humble roast, at the end of a busy week. (We must not forget that tea has played its part too!) What drama! What a tragedy! With Christmas (yes I said it!) just around the corner, this health warning could not have come at a worst time! The lead professor in the research group described the findings as “exciting”. Well that is not an adjective that I would have used, unless to convey a sense of ironic tragedy or dramatic irony. The only thing that I can truly look forward to, after a week of risking heart failure in Family Courts up and down the land, now poses its own coronary risks. The Sunday roast is dead! Long live the Sunday roast!
