Yes, it's official. Black pudding is addictive.
I love all food and will eat anything EXCEPT TRIPE. Tripe is crumbed cattle stomach lining pieces, and I've noticed its not for sale in NZ anymore.
This may be getting a little off topic here but Trumpy raised an interesting point about stress. I think the average electrical worker is subject to a lot more stress than any other trade or profession.
Electrical workers have much more responsibility and the consequences of their mistakes are far worse than any other trade. Yet here in NZ we're paid the same as plumbers and bricklayers. If a plumber makes a mistake, a laundry may get flooded. If an Electrician makes a mistake, the whole building may catch fire or someone may get electrocuted.
Add to this the fact that there is a gross shortage of electrical workers in NZ and most of us are working well over 50 hours a week to cope with the workload and you have a very stressfull occupation.
I believe the same situation is true for Nurses here in NZ. But at least they are able to strike for more money and less hours. Electricians can't.
