The E-mathics Of Mr Branson's Bacon Roll
On the way to Manchester yesterday, I forced my body to endure the metabolic insult of one of the Grinning Pullover's 'Premium Bacon Rolls'. In an entirely unscientific enquiry, I scanned the ingredients list & had my worst prejudices confirmed: there were more E numbers than Von Neuman, Fermat & Pythagoras could handle, even if they were working together & allowed to use slide rules. To be precise:
- Emulsifier - E481
- Emulsifier - E471
- Preservative - E282
- Treatment Agent - E300
- Preservative - E250
- Preservative - E252
- Antioxidant - E316
- Antioxidant - E316
- Preservative - E250
That makes, by my calculations, a grand total of E 2,918. Is this a snack record?

E by gum. And two sorts of emulsifier!
Irene - good to hear from you & welcome back: hope you'll continue to visit . .
I often call in. You just haven't noticed me as I just sit quietly at the back.
