CURING MUTTON
An experiment in curing mutton as carcasses of pigs are cured to make bacon is being arranged by the Briitsh Ministry of Food. Mr. Lennox-Boyd, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry, announced this in the House of Commons in reply to Mr. Macquisten (Conserative, Argyll). He hoped Mr. Macquisten would be prepared to assist in the eating of the product (Laughter). Mr. Macquisten: I have eaten the product, and if the Parliamentary Secretary will consult any farmer's wife in Perthshire she will show him how to cure it. Mr. Donald MacDougal, a well-known Perthshire sheepbreedex', stated that about fifty years ago cured mutton hams were sold in public markets. Mr. Michael MacDiarmid, chairman of the Perthshire branch of the National Farmers' Union, said that in the old days there was hardly a croft or farmhouse in Scotland without its cured mutton ham hanging from the kif&hen. ceiling.
