Peter Hitchens recently did a show called “Banged Up” where you go to an old prison and get locked up with crazy people who really did time and ex-prison staff.
In his case he’s quipped that prison could be in his future in the UK JK Rowling has even broached the notion over her comments on male and female.
“Deep fried, they taste nice, but look and feel strange.”
I like them but I wouldn’t buy them at the store.
You are what you eat.
