Shurely shome mishtake as only those types beginning at Calais pursue naughty fud processing practices (except for Americans, who make the rotten chicken nice once more with chlorine). Al has travelled everywhere and knows these things!pete75 wrote: ↑12 Sep 2022, 4:19pmAnd that doesn't happen here? I used to be a refrigeration engineer in the frozen food industry and I can tell you it does, and worse. Have you ever been in a chicken processing and freezing factory? On the veg side you may have bought premium brand peas that had been in our cold store for six years before they were packed. I won't mention the stuff most here would find stomach churning if there's any chance it may have happened to food they've eaten. I presume you're aware that rats have adapted to cold store conditions.
My late Uncle Cornelius drove all sorts of lorries for a living after he left the RAF. Many of his deliveries and pickups were at food processing spots. At one point he took to eating Whiskas sandwiches, claiming the conditions in the Whiskas factory were most hygienic whereas those in fud processing domains dealing with fud for humans were .... not. Terrible tales he told!
I'll follow your lead in the avoidance of explicitly describing the stomach churning practices in those fud factories that he related to me, as a small boy at the time, with a great glee. "YYewwww!", I cried, with feeling, having had a spam sandwich for lunch. I've not eaten a Fray Bentos tinned pie since! Or owt like it.
