I want to know why "Smokies" are illegal and seen as unhygienic

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/sheep-smoked-blowtorch-illegal-african-7881637

Has anyone actually tasted these? Isn't this just vertical barbecuing or is it a different/better flavour?

You can buy Smokies in Ridley Road Market, Stoke Newington. I've tried the meat and it is absolutely revolting.
No they are akin to Pomos, don't appeal to me at all, but if other people want to eat them fine:)
I'd never heard of them, but after a bit research and I can see why they were banned..

Best answer right there ^^^^
The lamb we eat has been skinned - that's where we get sheepskin from.

Smokies haven't been skinned, only sheared, then the skin is blow torched. They are illegal because the cuts are sold with the banned spinal cords and other bits and bobs that should be discarded.

This article from the Guardian was printed in 2003 but is still relevant:

The smokies are an excellent way for farmers to get rid of substandard meat. Whether or not it can ever be processed in a way to meet the UK's food regulations, I don't know.
The reason they are illegal is simple, the eussr can and does do what it wants !

they will decide what is and what isnt good for you !
they will decide what you can and cant do !
they will if given the chance decide what you can and cant think !
