What exactly was the stuff?

I think this recipe explains it quite well and is similar to the ones I had. For some reason, it had very little taste, which put me off it. I suspect that the lamb they use is mutton and needs to be stewed for a long time, thus removing the flavour - a talent my ex also had. ~X(

I think we need RiS to sort out the mingling of these two questions. I stand by the Saltstromen, cos I've been there fishing at 1AM in the summertime and the speed of the swirling water is very impressive.

Rossian, thanks for the suggestion.

Since I was not precise enough I had this in mind. I should have been more precise from the beginning. OH and apologies for messing the game.

He is famous for the statue of a footballer. That should give it away.

OK, talking of football statues, which late player and late manager is remembered by two statues!
One as a player and another as a manager?
For a couple of bonus points, where are the statues?
