Speaking to my Dad last night about the whole no vinegar on Antabuse issue yesterday evening, he pondered and mused on this for several hours before eventually saying, "so does this mean no pickled onions then?".
Up until this point this had not occurred to me. This led to a discussion around the whole area of pickled cabbage, pickled beetroot and so forth before my Dad finally said, "and what about Branston*".
Well, this was just too much so it was decided there and then we should test whether this would produce an adverse reaction in me. We decided to perform an experiment. I realise this is hardly the kind of experiment that gives Professor Brian Cox a hard on and I doubt they are shitting themselves at the Faculty of Medicine of Imperial College however we felt it was important to test early on.
A cheese and pickle sandwich was prepared and consumed. It is now fully 9 hours later and I can confirm no ill effects so far. This bodes well for tonight's fish and chips experiment where we will push the bounds of clinical testing further.
I will of course be writing all of this up for Nature in due course.
