FOOD CHAIN:
Our local cows are not happy, they are all moaning about the amount of illegal ingredients of late, coming over and wrecking the livelihoods of British live stock.

One of the greater important inspections of meat seems to be the liver , I have had rabbits with strange swellings that turned out to be a parasitic worm , and when I don't fancy eating something I regard it as Dog food , the parasitic worm in the rabbit is seriously injurious to dogs . Before the BSE scares a local company in Horndean had a huge machine that used to pulverise a whole cows head ( eye , jaw , brain , skull , scrapings of meat ) into a smooth pink paste , that was sold to several local butchers at 10 p a pound , never saw it in the shops , but assume it was mince or sausage when blended with other meats . Sausages have , at the cheaper end of the market , contained products ranging from Chicken skin and bones upwards , faggots have covered all kinds of sins . What bothers me is the hygiene , I have never personally witnessed it , but a conversation with a local Health Inspector years ago , revealed that the abattoirs on the European Continent were not as high a standard as the UK ones , many having special derogations to operate . Working in the dairy sector there are a lot of pathogenic bacteria in raw milk , some that can kill under the right circumstance s, I would never drink raw milk , although used to as a child . These pre pasteurisation bugs are lethal

horse meat in burgers
I remember seeing Whale Meat on sale as a boy, my Mother refused to buy it, the first Burger i tasted was in the Seamans Mission Montreal, was so tasty, UK Burgers nothing like them just taste YUK, full of Preservatives, i would only eat a homemade one, we could have a Gallop Poll for best burger ?
