YET another level of pretentious gastronomy has been revealed courtesy of (“Chef goes wild as he makes custard out of hare's blood", The Herald, October 28 ". Some will be angered, others revulsed, but most will be non-plussed by the "guerrilla dining" display table.
In a nation already obsessed by food supported by endless TV cooking programmes surely our obese ridden society does not merit a further food for thought offer. Spare us the details ... and the entrails.

SO here we go again. Bacon, sausages and all processed meats are carcinogenic (“Eating bacon and ham linked to bowel cancer”, The Herald, October 27). Add them to all the other potential killers that we eat every day and there's not a lot left. And don't mention sugar or alcohol.
Given that we have an ageing population (of which I am one) that according to all reports is putting the NHS under enormous strain, why don't the food Furhers just leave us oldies to get on with it and kill ourselves in our own sel- indulgent fashion? Glass of red and a ham sandwich anyone?

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
