     1        shells.
 
     2   Q.   No, but polystyrene foam?
              A.  Yes.
     3
         Q.   What about your vegetable McNuggetts?
     4        A.  They are not on the menu.  They may have been in the
              past, chicken McNuggetts was packaged in polystyrene, but
     5        they have not been for years.  Vegetable McNuggetts are
              not on the menu.
     6
         Q.   They are not?
     7        A.  They are not currently.
 
     8   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Perhaps you are going to amend your
              pleadings to say that they should be, I do not know?
     9
         MISS STEEL:  No.  I have just had some information to the
    10        contrary, but I will not go into that.
              A.  There may be a restaurant that has last remaining
    11        stock, but they were intended to be one of the meals of
              the month, flavours of the month.  Time past on and that
    12        is it.
 
    13   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Do you have a vegetarian dish at the moment?
              A.  I guess it depends on how seriously you want to take
    14        vegetarianism.  If you happily eat eggs, we have at
              breakfast time a menu very happily able to satisfy a
    15        vegetarian.  If are you in the west end of London and you
              want a cheese and tomato pizza, we have that.  If you are
    16        a vegetarian but you will eat fish, we have a fish product
              nationally.
    17
         MISS STEEL:  Your filet-o-fish, that is in styrofoam, is it
    18        not?
              A.  It was, it was not and I am not sure now -- it might
    19        not.
 
    20   Q.   But I think it is.  We were disclosed a selection of your
              packaging; the filet-o-fish was a styrofoam box?
    21        A.  It could have been.  It has been back and forth over
              the years.
    22
         Q.   But I think you said that those clam shells were made with
    23        foam blown with pentane?
              A.  They are, yes.
    24
         Q.   Is that right?
    25        A.  Yes.
  
    26   Q.   Are you aware of any draw backs to the use of pentane 
              dangerous to health and the environment? 
    27        A.  It is a hydrocarbon.  If one considers hydrocarbons
              dangerous to the environment, I do not happen to feel they
    28        are, not in the quantities we are talking about, then the
              answer is no.
    29
         Q.   If you were aware of any draw backs, would you stop using
    30        pentane?
              A.  If there was something else available to allow me to
