After a few months' vegetarianism, my teenage son has finally returned to meat-eating ways.

It started on Friday when he tucked into a big bowl of chilli con carne. Then on Saturday we shared a roasted a duck. On Sunday he he breakfasted on a bacon sandwich before dining on a steaming plate of beef stew.
