Ah, the seldom heard realities of food service.  Having worked in it for twelve years, I could tell ya some things that would make you toss your cookies.

However, much has changed since Upton Sinclair wrote the novel of my subject line.  Check out this article:

Also, as far as the "hog casings" (which is food service terminology for what frankie was referring to), those suckers are scalded and made more sterile than just about anything outside of surgeons gloves, so it really isn't as bad as it sounds.  Most of our eating habits came out of when we HAD to eat things, because there wasn't enough to waste back then.

Plus, although I do eat them, veggie dogs just don't cut it.

Those were very good condoms with an excellent feel to them -- far better than anything on the market, but not as effective for HIV.  Yes, they were made from lambs -- but I thought that it was the small intestine of the lamb, not the vagina.

and I've never heard any rumours of it being brewed from lamb vaginas.  Though will concede it tastes like bat's piss.

These were/are primarily for people with latex allergies.

I think they now have other materials (polyurethane?) which
are preferred because the lamb skin ones do not protect from
many diseases cause they are microscopically porous.

Maybe, they will buy us some of those famous weiners lol
