Hi Rita,
>Most of the time border inspections are for the benifit of the
majority- protecting the native foliage, protecting vital crops, but the
polish meats wasn't that somewhat political and a means of trying to
keep the protein sorce within the country? Now how meat and iris plants
come together at the border is someone elses guess.
No this was not a political thing, it was a means of keeping human
parasites out of the country. I think the particular parasite was a tape
worm that we don't have here, but I can't remember of hand.
Salami is not (or was not) made from cooked meat, and could contain
parasite eggs.
