Why have I set the 'Adult Content' flag?

I've set the 'Adult Content' flag because...
...I'm over 21 and I'm aware that there are people out there who have more delicate sensibilities than I have.

Don't worry. I'm not planning on posting nude pictures of myself. There will be pictures of Meat and Two Vege' though (Weak Joke. Grin at audience. Adjust cuffs)

I'm not going to make a special effort to be offensive or controversial, but I'm aware that depending on what I post, food is one of those subjects that can lead to a lot of yelling because it's tied in with economics, culture, religion, politics, ethics etc. All lovely, A1 rant inducing subjects.

The whole point of setting the 'Adult Content' flag is as a gentle heads up for the readers that arrive here.

This is a place on the internet where an individual posts stuff. Like many other places on the internet it allows comments. There maybe attitudes and ideas you don't like from the poster (that'd be me) or from the commenter's (that's you and all the other readers). Your disagreement with what I post and my disagreement with what you comment may lead to harsh words. I'm really hoping it doesn't. If it does though the 'Adult Content' flag is supposed to make you aware that this may happen.

It's also meant to make you 'wind you neck in' as they say round here.

Anyway.

After all the caveats above. Food is also something that can bring people together. Sitting round a table eating and drinking are some of the best times I've ever had. We all have to eat no matter what out colour or creed. There is a whole world of taste out there. Let me introduce you to some of the stuff I eat. Introduce me to some of the stuff you eat.

FIRST! (A sort of Mission Statement)

OK I've been sitting on this Blog for a while. I bagged it because I wanted to expand the cha0tic brand over the interwebs in a megalomaniac manner. That's unlikely to happen, as someone already owns the .com etc. domain names. There are other cha0tics on the interwebs and I am a rather desultory blogger. So it goes.

So why am I finally using it and starting a new blog when I'm rubbish at updating the ones I've already got? This one has a theme. It's all about food. It's all about my food: The food I shove in my pie hole. The food I cook. The food other people cook for me. The food I see written about on the web. The food programmes I see and hear. Things I think about food. You get the idea.

Yes. I know there are thousands of blogs about food all over the interwebs, but a bit like the story of 'Alice's Restaurant' I can't see how me adding to an already existing pile will do any harm.

There will be recipes and the term 'food' includes 'drink'.

Welcome.
