@Dramatic_Hammer I can second @itsbruce 's recommendation in that smashed parsnips are good (use plenty of black pepper).
@Velocio re fish. I have never really thought of it but I looked it up a little. Meats, I know, use nitrites/nitrates as part of their preserving process. Too much of those are bad for your heart health I think. Fish can be "just" the salt and smoke but both of those are bad for you. Sometimes, by some manufacturers I guess, they use nitrites or nitrates as a preservative too.
So there you go, I guess I will be a little bit less happy with myself as I eat smoked sprats or smoked trout salads for lunch. It is at least better than meat, but hey, I eat spam too.
