Sir, – For approximately six months I had endeavoured to keep to a vegetarian diet. However with the advent of Christmas I gave away to temptation. On entering a supermarket I saw package bearing the label “Traditional Irish Ham”.
On opening the package at home, I found the ham looked, felt and tasted like rubber. Perhaps this was a sign from Saint Francis or Buddha that not just I, but my fellow citizens, should endeavour to become vegetarians. – Yours, etc,
