Oh dear, I see another staple of our national diet has been deemed to be a health risk by Nanny.
Apparently, according to the BBC, one in 10 bangers and processed pork meat products in England and Wales could cause hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection if undercooked.
Seemingly, Scottish bangers are risk free (if the above were to be taken at face value).
Disregarding the Scotland/England health divide, the key point is that the danger only exists if the bangers are undercooked.
I am therefore moved to ask the question:
Who the hell eats raw sausages?
Reminding us to cook them is quite unnecessary. Those who undercook their bangers are more than likely to have poisoned themselves many times before, by undercooking far more dangerous foods eg chicken, pork etc. As such these people shouldn't be allowed anywhere near food!

Oh dear......:-( The simple answer to your question Ken is me......I am not a big sausage eater however, when I prepare sausages, I often eat a little bit of raw sausage meat....I am doomed, but I have been doing this for many decades with no apparent adverse side effects. I do buy good quality sausages from my butcher, who makes them on the premises and I can state that I would never put a supermarket sausage in my mouth under any circumstances whether cooked or otherwise! I shall have to re-think my practice but, I fear it will be difficult because I am, to be honest, a tad addicted to the taste of raw, good quality sausage meat.
ReplyDeleteI do like sausages, especially good quality ones, but I am, perfectly capable of cooking them without patronising "advice" from one of Nanny's jobsworths, thank you very much!
