     1   Q.   But you can boil potatoes.  You do not have to fry them.
              A.  Not in french fries, no.
     2
         Q.   What about sugar and salt?  It is true that you add those?
     3        A.  We salt our french fries after cooking; we add salt to
              our beef pattie after cooking; coca cola is what coca cola
     4        is; there is a non-choloric version as well as a standard
              called "classic"; milk is what comes out of the cow
     5        pasteurized, homogonized; mineral water is what comes out
              of a spring in Wales.
     6
         Q.   What about your shakes?
     7        A.  Butter fat, three and a half per cent.
 
     8   Q.   What about sugar?
              A.  We add a syrup to it for flavour, but there is no
     9        added fat.
 
    10   Q.   Yes.  What about sugar though?
              A.  What about it?  There is sugar in the syrup which is
    11        added to the milk shake, to the basic dairy product, in
              the same way.
    12
         Q.   Would you agree that for some of the milk shake mixes, at
    13        least, that sugar is the main ingredient?
              A.  Sugar the main ingredient, no.
    14
         Q.   Of the milk shake mix?
    15        A.  Of the milk shake mix, milk is the main ingredient.
 
    16   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What is being put, granted you start with
              milk?
    17        A.  What we add.
 
    18   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  What you mix into the milk to make your
              shake is what you are putting, Miss Steel?
    19
         MISS STEEL:  Yes.
    20
         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Sugar is the greater part?
    21        A.  Sir, the volume of the milk shake is -- I am not
              exactly sure of the number -- it is about ten and
    22        three-quarter fluid ounces.  Of that ten and three-quarter
              ounces, one ounce is made up of syrup, the balance, or 90
    23        per cent, is a basic dairy product.  So if proportionally
              one is to say more than -- if we are saying that we add
    24        something which is hugely dominant in the product, I have
              to say, no, 90 per cent is basic milk.
    25
         MR. RAMPTON:  Your Lordship does actually find -- again it is 
    26        to save time -- the proportions or, sorry, the amounts are 
              actually to be found in these nutritional analysis 
    27        charts ---
 
    28   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Thank you.
 
    29   MR. RAMPTON:  -- for all products.
 
    30   MISS STEEL:  It appears from the nutritional analysis that
              sugar is roughly ten per cent of the milk shake.  Would
