I dread to think, but I'll go with an optimistic 12%

[The Leaper]

BBC said 35% on the news yesterday.

"Mechanically recovered meat" is the key phrase

Teeth, cartilage, grisle,

just eat it and don't think about it.

It all ends up in the same place.

[touching cloth]

To be fair they don't appear to claim to be pork on the packaging above, just that they are made of "THICK" so I am guessing :

Anyone else sticking to Guinness?

At 34% meat, at least there is more meat in this than a veggy sausage!

Ever tried a french sausage...more offall (sorry for bad spelling) than a sumo wrestler! Had this in a very expensive place in paris several years ago...had to send it away as it actually turned by stumach!

How about this for Le Mans on the cheap:

Ryanair, Stanstead to Tours, out Thurs back Mon: 95 GBP

4 nights parking at Stanstead Long Stay: 24 GBP

Hertz, Peugeot 207, pick up Tours, Thurs to Mon: 140 EUR

Buy your camping gear at Carrefour and dump it when you leave: approx 100 EUR

Camping pass, Beausejour: 47 EUR

Entrance ticket: 62 EUR

Total cost: 340 EUR or 270 GBP per person plus beer and food

(assuming airport parking, rental car, camping pass and camping gear split between two people)

I think that’s quite a reasonable price.

Just checked and all of these deals are available on the web now. And yes I am bored and can’t wait for next Thursday!

Pork rind? I'm no expert but surely, technically speaking, a pig's ringpiece is made of "rind"? And thus by a process of extrapolation so are it's eyelids, lips and scrotum/pissflaps (depending on sex). Yum! Good old ASDAs!

[jamiebae]

If you think those Asda sausages look bad you really ought to pick up some andouillettes from Carrefour to try on the barbie

I'd take a bit of 'mechanically reclaimed meat' (AKA jet-washed pigs bones) over them any day!
