So you must have shopped at supermarkets in the UK then?

So it is OK for you generalise about things in the UK but then get very Selective when it comes to Australia

What a surprise

I'm yet to find any bacon from Denmark in local shops, I'm astounded that 75% is from there, it sure is though. I'm sure the supermarkets must be the principle suppliers. My little butchers shop sells bacon that comes from pigs reared about 5 k from my house. Ditto the beef.

Indeed.......it was the same for us in Derbyshire

cresta57

That was true for us in the U.K as well, except the livestock was reared on our own land.

I remember the pigs being slaughtered by a blow to the head with a sledgehammer and then cutting their throat, many years ago in Ireland.


....as kids we found in strangely fascinating

I've not tried horse meat - I put it down to the scarring experience I had in the pet met mans cool room when my brothers horse went missing and he thought the pet met guy had taken him to get back at my brother for carting the pet meat dude's wife out. My sister and I snuck in and tried to find him (the horse, not my brother) amongst the horse body parts in the cool room, those horse heads were even scarier in real life than in the bed of a mafia boss on film.

Sausages are not really my cup of tea, but I buy them occasionally for the BBQ and there are some nice one's around, chicken and mango, beef with red wine and garlic - nice.

Wrong again, I haven't shopped at supermarkets in blighty. Is there something wrong with you pal?

Grayling

You still here?

I thought this had become an adult conversation....run along and play like a good little boy/girl

Wendee

Just couldn't hack the pace eh? Poms these days just aren't up to it are they

Grayling

Obviously weren't in your day either


Or are you a convict?......that would explain the bitterness.

Every local butcher and most supermarkets here sell a bewildering selection of sausages in every combination you can imagine.

Grayling

They do in Australia as well to be fair.......they are mostly shite though

chris955

You really do come across as very bitter and twisted, why the need to be so abusive and inflexible ?

chris955

It was primarily in reference to this ridiculous statement '

Grayling

Agreed....a truly bizarre statement
