Irish people were naturally quite devastated by the news, given that sausages and ham are such important parts of our nation’s diet.
We’re more than a little bit in denial – so we believe that certain beloved meat products and/or dishes are surely, SURELY an exception to this news.

Pure, beautiful Superquinn sossies are innocent in all this. Leave them alone.
Bacon/sausage sandwiches

If you eat the bacon wrapped in bread, it acts as a sort of barrier to any bad things. (This is absolutely 100% true, ask anyone.)
Sausage rolls

Same goes for pastry. It’s a barrier.
Mince
Mince makes up a good 80% of most Irish people’s food intake. What would we eat if we couldn’t eat lasagne, bolognese, or shepherd’s pie?
