"This has to top the lot... Local authority has banned (in primary schools) the bacon that wraps around the sausage, apparently it's a choking hazard for children !!! " It gets more and more bizarre. I saw a programme once that had a child who was really poorly and had to live inside this bubble thing to stop infections. The way this country is going they will have us all in one. So are we allowed to serve pigs in blankets in our own house or will be have to sign a risk assesment form | |||

"[Removed by poster at 19/12/12 07:20:08]" we never had pigs in blankets at school. Considering I dont like pork, I have to have these at Christmas, lol!  | |||

"This has to top the lot... Local authority has banned (in primary schools) the bacon that wraps around the sausage, apparently it's a choking hazard for children !!! " Have they done a Risk Assessment on the preparation of the Pigs in Blankets ? Has it actually been tested on various guinea pigs? Ban School Dinners entirely, they're obviously far too hazardous 
Forget the choking hazard, I think it was pretty serious news for the pig in the first place | |||

"A better reason would be that they don't want to add even more saturated fat and salt to the meal and let our kids have the early seeds of heart disease! "If they had said that, then lots of parents would have been "excellent idea, that is really good thinking by the school." Instead they have to come up with a lame arsed excuse, it's like they are having a competition, which school can be the most extreme about health and safety. | |||
"In most cases like this it's not the LA that has banned it, it's an overzealous employee taking things way too far!! I'm surprised Christmas dinner hasn't been banned for fear of offending children whose religion doesn't celebrate Christmas "Defo the LA that has sanctioned this, we have a table at the bottom of the hall for non partakers!! | |||

"Why is pork filthy?....." Possibly on religious grounds - extract from Wiki below.... -Judaism Pork is a well-known example of a non-kosher food. This prohibition is based on Leviticus chapter 11 and Deuteronomy chapter 14: "These are the creatures that you may eat from among all the animals that are upon the land. Everything that possesses a split hoof, which is fully cloven, and that brings up its cud – this you may eat. But this is what you shall not eat from what brings up its cud or possesses split hooves – the camel, because it brings up its cud but does not possess split hooves...and the pig, because it has split hooves that are completely cloven, but it does not bring up its cud – it is impure to you and from its flesh you may not eat." — Leviticus 11:2–4, 7–8 "And the pig, because it possesses split hooves and does not bring up its cud — from its flesh you may not eat." — Deuteronomy 14:8 As indicated by the Torah verses, pork is non-kosher because Jews may not consume an animal that possesses one trait but not the other of cloven hooves and regurgitating cud. Hogs, which are not ruminants, do not chew cud as cattle and sheep do. In Israel, pork is served in select establishments, listed as white steak/beef. -Islam Pork is prohibited by the Islamic dietary laws. Throughout the Islamic world many countries severely restrict the importation or consumption of pork products. Examples are Iran, Mauritania, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Pakistan and Maldives. The Qur'anic basis for the Islamic prohibition of pork can be found in suras 2:173, 5:3, 5:60, 6:145 and 16:115. Chapter (Sura) 2 - Verse (Ayat) 173 Al-Baqara (The Cow) "He has forbidden you only the Maitah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah . But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, nor transgressing due limits, then there is no sin on him. Truly, Allah is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful." - Other religions and cultures Seventh-day Adventists, Rastafarians, and members of the Ethiopian Orthodox church also do not eat pork. Scottish pork taboo was Donald Alexander Mackenzie's phrase for discussing an aversion to pork amongst Scots, particularly Highlanders, which he believed stemmed from an ancient taboo. Several writers who confirm that there was a prejudice against pork, or a superstitious attitude toward pigs, do not see it in terms of a taboo related to an ancient cult. Any prejudice is generally agreed to have disappeared by 1800. | |||
