When I went to Asda on Sunday afternoon
I asked for the vegetarian section in the
Frozen food aisle.

The woman looked at me, shocked.

I looked at her, bemused.

The £7 cost of a service station breakfast,
with bacon, black pudding and Cumberland sausages.

I bought 6 Linda McCartney Qworn sausages
They were on offer and they’re perfect
for barbeques.
