This Week in Bacon
Just like following a rainbow will lead you to a pot of gold, following a trail of blood will lead you to… bacon!!!
Swiss police follow blood trail and find bacon
Swiss police can be excused for fearing the worst. Acting on emergency calls Monday night, they hurried to a rural road in northern Switzerland where horrified motorists reported a long trail of blood — what they believed was evidence of a brutal crime.
A police statement Tuesday said officers followed the blood for 12 miles to the town of Kuettigen only to find that a butcher’s supply van had spilled its cargo.
A barrel of pork blood had overturned inside. The van had been headed for a local sausage factory.
Last year a leaking valve on a truck in Oregon caused an even larger pig-blood spill.
But pig blood isn’t just for wrecks. It’s actually quite useful. Not only can you use it to make pop art, but it’s a key ingredient in many recipes–including pig blood jelly and black pudding. In short, pig blood is yummy.
