To Norbiton For A Plate Of Lovely Liver

I seem to need a lot of Vitamin B12.

• I am coeliac, which probably means I don’t absorb enough out of my food.
• Although, when my gallstones were removed, the surgeon had a look and said everything was good.
• When Homerton Hospital found my Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease, that I talked about in I’ve Got Uncomplicated Pancolonic Diverticular Disease, they also said everything else was good.
• In the United States, Vitamin B12 is given to stroke patients to help recovery.
• I’ve had Vitamin B12 injections for nearly thirty years, since they were prescribed by Addenbrooke’s hospital.

Certainly, I find that a Vitamin B12 injection doesn’t seem to have the same effect, it had twenty years ago. So, is my brain saying, I’ll have that, when I have an injection?

When I lived in Suffolk and I felt my Vitamin B12 was low, I’d go down the pub or carluccio’s in Cambridge or Bury and have a plate of liver.

But liver is rare in London restaurants and Carluccio’s don’t serve it any more.

A guy in the reader’s comments in The Times told me of a restaurant called the Trattoria Calabrese, that sold liver in sage butter yesterday. So today, I took a train to Norbiton to get myself some extra Vitamin B12.

These pictures describe my first visit to Norbiton.

The short walk to the restaurant from Norbiton station was very much worth it. I shall go back!
