I don't like Toad in the Hole either, but this is just embarassing.
HUNDREDS of tons of British food aid shipped to America for starving Hurricane Katrina survivors is to be burned.Granted this is from the Mirror, but such is life under the FDA; where an unelected bureaucracy tells people they're better off starving than eating uninspected food, or better off dying than taking experimental medication.US red tape is stopping it from reaching hungry evacuees.
Instead tons of the badly needed Nato ration packs, the same as those eaten by British troops in Iraq, has been condemned as unfit for human consumption.
And unless the bureaucratic mess is cleared up soon it could be sent for incineration.
One British aid worker last night called the move "sickening senselessness" and said furious colleagues were "spitting blood".
The food, which cost British taxpayers millions, is sitting idle in a huge warehouse after the Food and Drug Agency recalled it when it had already left to be distributed.

Our ever vigilant bureaucrats, protecting us against British mad-cow disease nearly a decade after the Brits licked it, and never mind that there's now more to worry about with Canadian-American cows.
Now, if it was an opinion as to British cooking, I could almost see it. But some Cajun seasoning will make anything taste like what Nawliners are used to.
