Re: Footplate cuisine
It actually took quite some time to cook as the fire was fresh from being cleaned and the coal was a very ashy type. Still, a slow cooked meal is worth the wait!

I am sure that, if they knew, health and safety and the CANSA Association would have a word or two to say about coating the food in carcinogens and tar from the coal smoke! Now we all know why Trainman is genetically altered!
