I'd murder a rasher sambo right now

Pride Fighter

All this talk of rashers has made me hungry. I'd murder a rasher sandwich right now, with some brown sauce on it. Any chance I can get one soon? Who is with me in their hankering for pigmeat:)

Puddleduck

Get one then...there is other pork from germany/wherever available.

This has me thinking, the guy that comes around in his vancy fan with all things breakfast didn't have any breakfast rolls, I thought he had just sold out but I guess he hasn't a choice but to take em all away.

Spare a thought for breakfast van man.

I have a pack of rashers in the fridge ready to go

My wife and I are supporting a local butcher. Avoiding deliberately the bigger stores and buying items off a local homebased retailer.
Its the least we can do.

Its a sad situation to further arise at this time in the retail trade as it is.

People are making a big fuss over nothing. The so called "toxins" in the meat are relatively weak, although I'd prefer there to be no toxins, but you'd probably have to be eating mass amounts of it for about 20 years for anything to happen. It's not gonna stop me eating pork. And making all those people redundant because of this is simply retarded. They could have just resolved this problem. I mean in fairness how hard can it be to change the meat processing process?

Read myself that you would have to be eating a pig a day for a few years to be affected. Just the wonderful people in the media showing us the worst case scenario before giving us actual facts. The same thing happenned in Belgium a few years back and the last time i checked, it has not wiped out the population yet.

So fire up your pans and grills and spits and start cooking hog.

Long live the pig.

Its seriously killing me! I did have a burger yesterday in a place in town and on the way in the guy at the door said that the pork was off but the bacon was danish ... cool. I then go to order a burger with bacon and the girl says that I cant have bacon. After she walked off I had to call her back and get her to check. I got my bacon and do you know what? Was ****1ng horrible! All these people saying that you can get rasher from outside Ireland .... yeah you can but they suck!

Apparently, eating pork products containing said toxins is somewhat comparable to smoking - having a few smigs over the course of a month is hardly going to give you a tumour.

So if anyone's got some leftover rashers it won't kill you to finish them off.

Biggins

We ordered a burger meals last night to be delivered to our home.
Heck, if the government don't kill us by starving the health industry of funds, I'll be damned if I'm going to start being afraid to have a shaggin' burger or rasher! :mad:

Four. F*cking. Days.

You'd swear that there was nothing else in the whole world to eat.

Can everyone just please STFU talking about pork and go eat it. As magpie points out, unless you eat the equivalent of 500 contaminated pigs in a few hours, there's nothing to worry about it.

oeb

SuperValue had an ad in one of the papers today saying that they are after sourcing non-irish pork.

"sambo" is a racial slur I'll have you know.

its nothing to do with changing the processing process. pigs were fed dioxin laden feed by one arseh0le and now no one can move all the stock that they have. the companys cant possibly pay staff as they can sell nothing as all the stock produced for the last 3 months is worthless , so they are in serious financial difficulty. they are in talks at the moment to sort out a) identifying and realising non affected produce, and b) agreeing a compensation package for the work that now has to be binned.

the 390 farmers who didnt use the feed cant send their animals to slaughter as there is no slaughtering going on, the slaughter houses have perfectly safe meet that they should be able to identify if they were given the names of the affected farms, but there not, the van men cant sell the stock they have as the slaughter houses cant tell them if its tainted or not. the government need to stop dragging there heels and agree a plan to meet the processerors farmers and wholesalers needs so that 6000+ peoples jobs and livelyhoods are saved, and safe produce is released to restock and restart the market.

Its too late for me. working for the same company 20 odd years now. Seen loads of sh*t but never this bad. Was served protective notice today. Funny last week i was spending money and the government were getting tax from it. Next week they will have to give me dole money. Happy Christmas....
