" Ticks " in Veal Chop.—On 2nd March, 1937, the Meat
Inspector was handed by a firm of wholesale butchers in the
Borough a few very small structures which had the appearance of
congealed blood with the statement that this firm's customer,
i.e., a West End hotel, had returned those to the Finsbury firm
and stated that a diner had extracted those structures from the
sub-cutaneous tissue of a veal chop, and complained that he had
been given a veal chop containing " tick " eggs.
