It's been a week.

Along with the regular churn of our newsfeed, suddenly polony became the breaking news star.

Why?

Listeriosis, the bacteria that's elicited a variety of responses.

From panic (valid because it can become life-threatening and has resulted in people's deaths), to outrage and humour (as Nina Hastie points out, we South Africans always prove that we’re nothing but resilient in the face of disasters).

With processed meats like polony and viennas being recalled – foods that form a basic part of most people’s staple diets – we now need to rethink some of our daily meal.

So this week what we’d like to know from you is what will you be doing to replace your favourite processed meats? Have you already found alternatives?

Last week, we asked you to tell us about the strange jobs you’ve done.
