You learn something new every day...


  Well I never.  Apparently when Birds Eye were first developing the fish
finger product range, 50-something years ago, they almost launched them under
the brand name "Battered Cod Pieces".

  Can't imagine why they changed their minds.

In case you were considering hoovering around aerosolized pig brains, you
may benefit from the wisdom contained in these observations:

Investigators have been trying to determine whether pig brain tissue, sprayed into the air as droplets
during removal by the compressed air system, was inhaled by workers and made them sick.

This page was useful while writing that previous e-mail . Alas, 
google seems to only want to translate the name of our beloved mascot
