N.Z. FROZEN MEAT
HOW TO THAW PROPERLY NEED TO ADVISE CONSUMERS (Pur Press Association.) WELLINGTON, last night. The necessity of advising British consumers how to thaw New Zealand frozen lamb and mutton, and make it palatable, was stressed' by tho Prime Minister of Northern Ireland. Viscount Craigavon. when speaking at the Slate luncheon accorded him to-day. "In the export of land* and mutton you" take hero every precaution, and do everything to improve it up to the 'time of shipment to England, but is ii followed sufficiently through to the consumer at the other end?" asked Viscount Craigavon. "I would iust throw out the suggestion that careful inquiries be made. 'because there is no question whatever that New Zealand lamb and mutton at the other end can be thawed back into real first-class lamb or mutton by those who know how to do it. There are i far too many cases where it receives a bad name because of the lack of knowledge in getting it back to its original condition of tender Canterbury lamb. Could not a postcard be placed on each carcase to enable every purchasing householder to make it so palatable that no one could distinguish it from Home-produced lamb "It seems rather a shame that with all the care and anxiety attached to the production and shipment of lamb and mutton from New Zealand, its full and free consumption bv our people on the other side of the water should be interfered with" in any way. Meticulous care mav be taken, but I suggest that the lamb and mutton be followed right into the household. I would not stop fit the stores or butcher shops; hut in addition, T would go into the housebold, and be proud of New Zealand lamb and mutton." {Applause.)
