Pork poisoning
« on: December 07, 2008, 10:44:50 AM »
So the Irish government has withdrawn ALL pork from the market because it's poisonous.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?

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.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

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.

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.


I think my cat wants to kill me...

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.
