Well, not wishing to sound smug, but an earlier blog of mine did question the German assertion that the nasty E-coli epidemic was all Spain's fault. Thank goodness Guernsey gave up growing the large variety several years ago or they might also have been in the frame.
So now it seems that German home-grown bean sprouts are the cause. Uh huh ?! How soon I wonder before the reassurance that you are not at risk unless you have consumed several pounds of the things.
So let's see: Spain is suing Germany over lost sales; Russia has banned Spanish toms and will shortly ban German bean-sprouts; which leaves Germany to look for friends to ride out the storm.......
Oh how far reaching the effects might be for voting in next year's Eurovision song contest.
