Given that I was a vegetarian as a teenager, I shocked myself when I finally accepted my love of meat. See, I like to think that I eat a balanced diet with lots of vegetarian meals, but I do think that there’s not much finer than a slab of red meat once in a while. Although I also like to indulge in a bit of fine dining now and then, it’s hardly surprising that I don’t mind getting my hands dirty whilst attending to my carnivorous needs.
