No problems. If you are really interested, you should read some of Dunlop's writing on the subject

Zoe,
Apologies… I was getting frustrated in my attempt to find a recipe for Fuschia Wine.

Hey Moe, read the freakin’ post, and show me where I said I was a big fan of shark’s fin soup.

I would suggest that you read the book, but it has some big words and tricky concepts in it and I’m not sure you could handle it.

Shark Fin Soup?
Have you ever seen sharks being fished for their fins?
They are hauled on board , their fins chopped off then dumped over the side to glide helplessly to the sea bed .
What sort of person can condone that? people who support this kind of thing are either willfully ignorant or just plain evil.

Hi Kim - just came across this interview. Dunlop was in London, just about to leave for Shanghia guiding a culinary tour. There are a list of involved charities at the end of the linked post, just before the recipe.

Oh, I don’t know that one Bernice and couldn’t find it online. I’ll keep sniffing the op shops and chuck out bins …

And the Oz Fucshia says it’s printed and bound in Great Britain and credits “Two Associations” for the cover design. (And isn’t that a crap name for potential clients or the otherwise interested to google.)

Oh those jackets are actually quite good. I was thinking of the slightly later ones of the OZ only commonsense. You know the ones with lots of recipes for mutton. It was the use of the ampersand as design motif that struck me. Why the hell the Oz version of Dunlop was even devised is a mystery. Let us assume the jacket designer had NO idea about the book’s content. Sigh…
