Limerick likes ham. I think I'm not wrong in saying as much. Back in the day, ham, lace and docker sweat were our main exports.But now that plastic pig meal has brought about the end of chops, pudding and the pig world as we know it, some serious questions have been raised.
Paul Craughan, of O'Connell's Butchers on Little Catherine Street, knows good pig. As he told the Leader here, the bad pig is gone and the good pig is a-coming.
But a handful of animal feed producers have knocked 3 per cent off our GNP, and many of us are just too heart broken after having to dump the six Dunnes sausages we were going to eat when we came back from the gym on Sunday night. Lifestyle changes are in order.
We could insist on eating only non-processed, fresh, organic meat. But the only way to ensure this is to systematically bite live cattle in the ass area.
We could go veggie, but then we'd be at the mercy of the potato blight again, and we all know how fun that is.

I've eaten half a pig in the last four months, since the contaminant entered the piggy food chain. Black pudding, sausages, artisan sausages (80% pork, 20% artisan), bacon, chops, ham, salami, pork steak, trotters and various parts I don't want to contemplate in a cheap hotel breakfast last weekend. But I feel fine, no more oily than usual, awaiting bloods... How do the rest of you feel?
Congratulations on your new blog. Does the Limerick Leader have a policy on cursing?
The Leader don't have one as such. I, however, curse up a storm at the best of times. I expect it to continue.
I love my rashers! Link added to yee our end. Great to see new blogs from the mainstream
Lovely job.
Let's have a test of the cursing policy.
Ah one and a two and fuuuuu
