Clasie can't get used to English meat and gets his family to bring some over from Holland. Also amazed at how fit some of our young Academy players are even at 13-14 years old. He's apparently trying to bulk up, bless him.

Yes, that got me interested in how different the meat might be in Holland. I've been to Holland several times but I'm blowed if I can remember anything significantly different in their meat diet that Clasie might identify with. The only thing I can think of is that they might eat more lamb than we do. But really I don't know.

I must be getting jaded or something. I knew Saints form was pretty good, but I didn't think it was this good. Here's the PL table for the last 6 matches:

And we've done all that without really ever playing *that* well just yet. Sign of a true champion ;)

Perhaps he means ham, sausages and prepared meats....but he shouldn't be eating much of that anyway.
 
If you were to ask me the differences in meats between say those in France or Italy and here, I could probably come up with some decent differences, but Holland.? Nope, I'm scratching my head on that one.

Just Googled Dutch meat in the UK and got a load of stories about horsemeat! <yikes> (I was looking to see if he could buy it over here)

I've eaten horse in France. I did it during a time when I was on a try-anything-edible-once kick. To be honest, it's rather nice. It was an old animal, I was assured, and the meat was slow cooked. Traditionally you can buy it here from the odd Yorkshire butcher. Look it up why Yorkshire, because I've forgotten.
