Count, I worked at Unilever in London when I was 19, as part of our induction they took us to the Walls sausage factory. It was gross, pink goopy stuff in vats and fatty watery sloosh over the floors. I couldn't look a pork pie in the face for months.
Ha ha boxtops. I saw sausages being made too but huge vats of blood with fat floating in them! Yuk! And the smell!! Surprised I didn't grow up a veggie.
PS - I guess they are made in more sanitary conditions these days, can anyone say? The workers wore white wellies to stop themselves skating about the floor. I can't imagine they'd still work in those conditions, not with Elfnsafety?
I agree Boxtops we don't know what goes on in these factories. When I was a small child and used to go shopping for my mother I was told in no uncertain terms not to come home with anything bearing the Tyne Brand label as she had worked there briefly before the war and saw how things were produced.
Do you remember when everyone went off Corned Beef, after Fray Bentos (I was told) was washing the meat in polluted water in South America? I always believed that they washed it in the Amazon...
