Hadn't heard about it before Phil, but having Googled it I found out I don't need it.
Meat and two veg is perfectly acceptable without additives, although with the current cold weather Walnut Whip springs to mind....:S

You're welcome Martin...I assume I was right as nobody has descended on me like a ton of S**t, which is the norm :D

Regards Roger
