I’m a bit of a foodie - Mange Tout = ‘eat everything’ in French - (pre-emptive strike: yes, I know you all thought it was Man Get Out, but it isn’t).

When I first joined the internets, I had this shiny dream that I would create the best ever website all about food and eating - I did create a website but frankly, it sucked donkey balls and there were already lots of other sites all about food, but the name **Mangetout** , which I chose at that time, has stuck.

I was thinking of changing it to **Wet Pink Scrotal Chicken** , but I probably won’t bother.
