From the BBC.
For years my wife has gone on and on and on and on and on and on and on about how “superior” Irish “sausages” are to The Great British Banger. Even when tantalising her tastebuds with a sausage casserole made with fine Waitrose Free Range Chipolatas she’d still maintain that Denny’s “Gold Medal” were better.
And then there’s ham and bacon. While feeding her delightful platefulls of Wiltshire ham and top quality prime Duchy bacon she’d insist that Irish was best. She’d say “Oi want de Oirish rashers. Roigh?”
So a food body says avoid Irish pork? I’ve been saying it for ages….
Look at how the British porker in the photo below looks happy, intelligent and tasty. The Irish pig looks downcast and has a black eye.
