I’m regularly astonished at the commitment of my local supermarket – a branch of Lidl just off Maryhill Road.

Today for example, I was offered pheasant, quail, goose, venison and horse tidbits.

I toyed with the idea of the bath salts flavoured with honey and milk which sounded vaguely Biblical but in the end opted for a pomegranate instead. If I’m known to consume pomegranates, do you think that someone will take the hint and donate some new vestments after the fashion of Exodus 29:24?

It turned out that the horse tidbits were for feeding to horses, not bits of horse that you eat.

(I had to check to make sure though).
