7 meat products that we refuse to believe would betray us

The World Health Organisation says sausages and ham cause cancer… But they wouldn’t turn on us, would they?

YESTERDAY, THE WORLD Health Organisation announced that eating sausages, ham, red meat, and other processed meats can cause cancer. 

Go ahead, stay in bed. Our #fullirish will be available from 4 to 6 p.m! #breakfast #eggs #sanantonio #sundayfunday Instagram / francisbogside Instagram / francisbogside / francisbogside

Irish people were naturally quite devastated by the news, given that sausages and ham are such important parts of our nation’s diet.

We’re more than a little bit in denial – so we believe that certain beloved meat products and/or dishes are surely, SURELY an exception to this news.

If you eat the bacon wrapped in bread, it acts as a sort of barrier to any bad things. (This is absolutely 100% true, ask anyone.)

Same goes for pastry. It’s a barrier.

Mince

 

Mince makes up a good 80% of most Irish people’s food intake. What would we eat if we couldn’t eat lasagne, bolognese, or shepherd’s pie?
