Pork Is A Four Letter Word
The recent issues about Irish pork have got me thinking about the 1993 burger catastrophe in America when a major chain was found guity of having "unacceptable" levels of fecal matter in their meat. It begged the question: at what point does acceptable become unacceptable? Well, it later emerged that inspectors in the food plants would tolerate "some fecal matter on a carcass so long as it is smaller than one-eighth inch square". Yum
Oh well, now that pork is now semi-acceptable again, it seems likely that the band Ham Sandwich can be reintroduced onto our shelves. I acknowledge the work of Jim Carroll in the making of that gag.
