Regular size I guess - about 4". What a mark-up! They do a choice of two - lamb or veggie - but they're absolutely scrummy, still sizzling from the fryer

Sounds like a good example of the value outweighing the cost.

Please feel free to call me stupid, but i remember hearing somewhere that after polyunsaturated fat has been used for cooking it becomes saturated. Sounds daft, I know, but is it a tall tale?

All sorts of things happen to fats at high temparature, the molecules break down and some hydrogenation (transfattty acids) occurs as well as the formation of some saturates.

I think that's roughly right but neither happens to a great degree unless you use the same oil for ages.

I did'nt think of that, mind you the only time I get to eat a pigeon is if one is playing "chicken" across the road !*?

You could probably do a nice mushroom and greens one too, especially in the autumn with maybe chestnuts in there.
