Adventures in British Food Chapter 3. Cows lay eggs

We all know that Britian's cows are unfortunate. And I'm not talking about fat slags Sandra and Tracey as they struggle with holding their cone of hot chips while copping it in the alleyway behind the pub.

No, I'm talking about the real cows of this small island nation, that regularly get criticised for their poor quality beef, or for the fact that they're crawling with disease and pestilence, or because occasionally they go totally mad.

Now it seems, they have started to lay eggs.

Today's Metro newspaper claims that

"thousands of British children think cows lay eggs. And a similar number believe that bacon comes from sheep.."

and

"1 in 12 did not know beef burgers came from cows"

and

"1 in 10 were clueless about where cheese came from".

Christ, how dumb ARE these people?
