The BBC say.......................



"Can I continue to eat chicken?"

"Yes. Experts say avian flu is not a food-borne virus, so eating chicken is safe.

The only people thought to be at risk are those involved in the slaughter and preparation of meat that may be infected.

However, the Who recommends, to be absolutely safe all meat should be cooked to a temperature of at least 70C. Eggs should also be thoroughly cooked.

Professor Hugh Pennington of Aberdeen University underlined the negligible risk to consumers: "The virus is carried in the chicken's gut.

"A person would have to dry out the chicken meat and would have to sniff the carcass to be at any risk. But even then, it would be very hard to become infected." "

I think it's the people who work with poultry who are at risk.

Yes. Ensure it is clean from the inside, cook it well and enjoy.

................and don't go around drying any chicken sh*t, grinding it up for fun and taking it as snuff.

It's not looking very bootiful for Bernard - 160,000 birds being slaughtered.

Better make contingency plans for next Christmas - anyone for Goose or Duck or should we focus on the non-winged meat like rack of lamb or steaks???
