         Q.   Do you ever make cakes?
     2        A.  I have been known to make a few.
 
     3   Q.   Have you over put disodium dihydrogen diphosphate in your
              cake?
     4        A.  When I bake a birthday cake for my wife most Februarys
              I buy a mix, I add some milk, water, a couple of eggs, and
     5        I take the coward's way out.  I do not make them from
              scratch.  I would guess a plant that makes them with the
     6        ingredients rather than rely on Betty Crocker probably has
              to use these bits to get there; I do not.  I am not that
     7        talented.
 
     8   Q.   You do not recall putting those things in your cake
              anyway?
     9        A.  I just said, no.
 
    10   MR. MORRIS:  While we are on nutrition I will come, because
              Helen is feeling a bit tired, but if we go back to that
    11        American document, if someone helps me, we can identify
              what bundle it is. Tab 5 -----

         MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Pages 73, 74.
    13
         MR. MORRIS:  If we can go to page 80, this is an example:  You
    14        said on Friday, I believe, your chips are cooked in the
              same way that they would be cooked in most homes in the
    15        country?
              A.  If you are going to make french fries, you take a
    16        potato, you put it in hot oil or hot fat of some kind, you
              cook it until it is done, yes.
    17
         Q.   The ingredients list of french fries, is it not, is
    18        potatoes, a blend of partially hydrogenated fat and oil,
              (beef fat and cotton seed oil), dextrose, sodium acid
    19        pyrophosphate (to promote colour retention); is that
              correct those are the ingredients, or in 1986 in America
    20        indeed, presumably?
              A.  Well, if they published them in this booklet, I dare
    21        say that is what they use, yes.
 
    22   Q.   "Cooked in our own shortening blend for french fries" --
              if you look at page 84?
    23        A.  84?
 
    24   Q.   Yes, page 84, it says, "shortening blends", yes?
              A.  Yes.
    25
         Q.   Ingredient list for french fries: "Selected blend of beef 
    26        shortening and partially hydrogenated vegetable shortening 
              (cottonseed oil), monoglycorides, citrate, propylgalate 
    27        (added to protect flavour).  This shortening is 43 per
              cent saturated".  Is that correct?
    28        A.  Yes.
 
    29   Q.   Maybe we could move on?
              A.  Did you have a question about this?
    30
         Q.   I am just checking that is correct.
