So the Irish government has withdrawn ALL pork from the market because it's poisonous. We import "thousands of tons of Irish pork every year".
And what do our agencies say?
The UK's Food Standards Agency said it did not believe at this stage that UK consumers faced any "significant risk".
Sausages anyone?

We're having sausages for lunch... rubschin:

Prolly made of goat tho

Thanks mainly to my Mother, who in protest at the Irish "Troubles" that she firmly believed were mainly of their own making (forget Cromwell etc), would never buy any Irish products, I have never bought them either so TBH I don't give a b*gger that the Mick's have f*cked up. They did precious little to help us during our Foot & Mouth problems.
Let them eat cake I say.
We had sausages last evening ~ made by my brother's own fair hands from reliable meat and not offal, floor sweepings and fat. Very nice they were too. Not what his company sells to the public of course, those he makes for friends and family.

Guinness?

Some friends of mine have just returned from Ireland and have bought myself and Tel a ring of white pudding. Shall I be forced to chuck it away?
P.S. Tel has already eaten his point:

Guinness?
Made in Park Royal North London. Haven't drunk it since they announced that they were closing that brewery.

Made out of what?
70% pork + stuff...

I am cooking a joint of pork at the moment. I have thrown out the packaging so I don't know where it comes from. I was going to rummage through the dustbin for said packaging, but then I thought 'fvck it' food poisoning will be a new experience.
Also, if I drink 48 cans of Strongbow whilst cooking this will also immunize me against strontium 90 poisoning or what ever paddy has spilled in the slaughterhouse.

Cooked the sossies on the BBQ - Sausage sandwiches... cloud9:

The chap who brought the white pudding back has so far had two rings of it. And he's not dead yet. I will monitor his health over the next few weeks and then decide whether to eat, or dump, said pork product.

By which time it will have grown fur and evolved vertebrae noooo:
Some effects of dioxin poisoning on our health
Skin Chloracne; hyperpigmentation
Gastrointestinal system Abdominal pain; nausea and vomiting; anorexia; weight loss; altered liver function or fatty liver
Blood and cardiovascular system Hyperlipidaemia; atherosclerosis
Endocrine system Type II diabetes; suppression of thyroid function
Nervous system Numbness of extremities
Immune system Immune system depression or increased susceptibility to infections; thymic atrophy
Reproductive system Endometriosis; decreased fertility; inability to maintain pregnancy; decreased testes size; reduced sperm counts; lowered testosterone
Development (children) Developmental delays; learning disabilities; behavioural problems; abnormal development of teeth
Teratogenicity Various birth defects
Carcinogenicity Various cancers
General Muscle wasting; chronic fatigue
All that from a dodgy sausage eeek:
-
"Gastrointestinal system Abdominal pain; nausea and vomiting; altered liver function or fatty liver.
Nervous system Numbness of extremities"
I have those anyway - I blame Young's.
"Decreased fertility; inability to maintain pregnancy; reduced sperm counts."
Not too bothered about those bits!

I suspect a dose of the shits might have covered it.
The nice man from what used to be the Min of Ag & Fish (God knows what they are called this week) who was on the wireless news said one would need to ingest this stuff for 30 to 40 years at the dosage levels found to be likely to suffer any major effects.

eeek:
A farm supplier who allegedly used stale bread still in plastic wrappings for animal feed is being investigated in connection with the dioxin alert in Irish pig meat, The Times has learnt.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article5303184.ece
Pork, bacon and ham labelled with the red, blue and white Quality Standard Mark logo and which also includes the Union Flag is a guarantee that the meat is British from farm to fork.
But isn't No'rn Ireland part of this British labelling?

This is all part of a Republican plot. Failing the "bombing the fvck out of us" working, they have now taken to infecting our staple foodstuffs. Roadside cafes and the entire construction industry may have fallen to their new tactics. Damn their eyes. noooo:

Bang goes the fry up! noooo:
Wonder if Wenchy splashed out on a sausage? rubschin:

My understanding is that is true. So why the panic?

Panic ~ moi? (https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.freesmileys.org%2Fsmileys%2Fscared002.gif&hash=2df77d1afc320316f83b4657f207d800386f4543)
PS ~ I suspect another story was needed to take our attention off the Government's monumental cock-ups.
