Was it in a pasty?

[snags]

How can something be '150%'?

Btw it was 'orrible but it was the nearest thing to hand...

[craft1948]

Was it a sword?

[snags]

I just checked the percentage again in case I read it wrong. Yep, 150%...

I can't be arsed.

Maybe I should just count myself lucky that I got 50% more Pork than is actually possible...

Hello from Peperami

Dear XXXX, Thank you for your recent query regarding the confusing labelling on Peperami. Under the labelling laws for processed meat products like sausages, we are required to state the amount of raw meat as a percentage of the finished product -including all the other ingredients like spices, salt etc. For raw sausages, the meat percentage will be less than 100% because other ingredients are added during manufacture. However, Peperami is a cured sausage and weight is lost through evaporation of water during manufacture. This means that the weight of the raw meat we put in before cooking and curing is higher than the weight of the finished Peperami that is sold. The meat content is therefore, more than 100%. As an example - a 25g Peperami is made with 27g of raw meat. I hope that this has helped and if you require any further information orassistance, then please do not hesitate to contact us.

Kind regards, Chantal Barnard

In more ways than one... thanks Chuck.

LOL, as they say in the adverts "Peperami, it's a bit of an animal"........ they never say what bit though!!

[snags]

There's still one left. I'm tempted... but I'm not sure my body can process this much salt in one go...

[Jan1957]

Sorry Chuck but I lost the will to live half way through reading that. Can't stand pepperami anyway. Go on snags, have another one!

I just need someone to make me feel better about finishing the box of Fox's bisquits at the moment. They're quite nice with vodka and lemonade.

[snags]

I hasten to add I didn't buy them. My niece bought them round earlier. Good to know that my sister is taking notice of what she's feeding her offspring...

[snags]

Jan... give me a couple of those bisquits and you can have this one and use it as a stirrer... 'Vodka Peperami' :-/

[Jan1957]

I will be from now on Tony. Hubby bought a bottle from our local shop today for £5.99. That'll do me.
