sorry Garmard that was just a statement and not meant to be as rude as it seems whenh i read it back!!! My family raised beef cattle in the 1950s and 60s and Fray bentos were swear words in our house. lol
It's one of the few things my geography teacher told me that actually stuck, probably because it was linked to some sort of major food poisoning outbreak a few years before that.
I remember that saxyjag, didn't they wash the meat in a toxic river then canned it? or or something similar? - people went off corned beef for several years as a result of that, as I recall.
