If I still ate meat, I don't think I'd want to know exactly what they put into sausages. It's one of those mysteries that is best left unexplored.

Regards, Ivan

Yep... I think if most people knew what went into hotdogs, or sausages, they would never eat another one again.

I say, "Pass the mustard and saurkraut!"

... we would not want vegetarians to buy the sausages believing they were meat-free.

"We use the word dragon because it is synonymous with Wales and because of the heat with the chilli. To add the word pork means it loses its marketing appeal"

It is that or so a crack sausage.

In this case, the maker could reasonably include "law" in his list of ingredients, thus bringing an old saying full circle.

I suspect this is to notify Muslims which are to be the first meat companies to be banned in the future. Otherwise, they might think these were dragon-meat sausages and offend Allah by eating them.

"I don't think any of our customers actually believe that we use dragon meat,"

I dunno, PETD is very upset. . . .

That sums it up.

Praline: Next we have number four, 'crunchy frog'.

Milton: Ah, yes.

Praline: Am I right in thinking there's a real frog in here?

Milton: Yes. A little one.

Praline: What sort of frog?

Milton: A dead frog.

Praline: Is it cooked?

Milton: No.

Praline: What, a raw frog?

(Superintendent Parrot looks increasingly queasy.)

Milton: We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope and lovingly frosted with glucose.

Praline: That's as maybe, it's still a frog.

Milton: What else?

Praline: Well don't you even take the bones out?

Milton: If we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy would it?

Praline: Superintendent Parrot ate one of those.

Parrot: Excuse me a moment. (exits hurriedly)

Milton: It says 'crunchy frog' quite clearly.

Praline: Well, the superintendent thought it was an almond whirl. People won't expect there to be a frog in there. They're bound to think it's some form of mock frog.

Milton: (insulted) Mock frog? We use no artificial preservatives or additives of any kind!

Praline: Nevertheless, I must warn you that in future you should delete the words 'crunchy frog', and replace them with the legend 'crunchy raw unboned real dead frog', if you want to avoid prosecution.
