POOR BACON
“BREAKFAST FOOD NOT UP TO STANDARD”
Bacon and eggs are known the world over as the only breakfast for Englishmen, but according to Mr F. W. Parsons, of London, members of the delegation of the Federated Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire have not enjoyed their New Zealand breakfasts as much as those in their own country. The quality of the bacon was the trouble. This is how Mr Parsons, who has for more than 40 years been connected with the import of provisions to England, describes his experiences to The Southland Times:—
“I have been very disappointed with the bacon curing here. Perhaps I have been unfortunate in the hotels where I stayed. In both islands I have not yet struck one where there was really firstclass bacon. I wonder why this is. You have the soil and can breed pigs. Surely there must be a large unexplored market for this foodstuff.”
