Breaking news, horsemeat found in beefburgers sold in Tesco, Iceland, Liddl and Aldi, pig DNA has also been found, all in supposedly 100% beefburgers. Products fron 2 meat processing plants in Ireland and one in Northallerton, Yorkshire. It makes you wonder what else is put into our food that we don't know about. Personally. I make my own burgers, and but the majority of my meat in my local butchers, as I like to support small businesses where ever possible.

Northallerton is just down the road from Catterick race course. I wonder if the Irish plants are near a race course.
Would that make these burgers a fast food item?

Now there is (fast) food for thought, they are fond of horse racing are the Irish. The ultimate penalty for loosing too many races perhaps?

Maybe they won’t taste as good any longer :}

I have knowingly eaten Lambs Fries (dangly bits)
So I don't mind Tesco saddling me with a bit of Hor ses doo veries (can't spell won't check)
-
I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse...erm, hang on!
-
Other than the misleading info on the labels, Ie 100 % beef I really can not see the problem..
We eat, cows, all nature of birds, pork, deer, rabbits, just to name a few.

To beef or not to beef? That is equestrian

It has been mooted that cost cutting has paid a large part in this, The Food Standards Authority has had its budget slashed to the bone, there is not as much testing, all efforts go to making sure food is safe and manufacturers are taking advantage of this. The PM has ordered an urgent inquiry, hmmm, shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted ( or has been put in the beef burgers in this case) springs to mind...

Still having a bit of trouble after eating one of the Tesco's burgers containing horsemeat. My condition is now stable, I have had the trots, but after overcoming a few a hurdles, I'm odds on to make a full recovery!

Will there be a stewards enquirey then ???. :-)

Apparently they have allready got to the bottom of it....
It was in the burger...... along with hooves, ears etc... %%

How about this one then...
-
Do we really want to know.
OK.
Was a spaghetti place which had a large clientele, doing a roaring trade, was reasonably priced and always packed out.
One of the best sellers on menu was spaghetti and meatballs.
Somewhere along the line the restaurant, which was quite large, was inspected by the powers to be.
Out the back in the bins they found numerous empty cans of meatballs dog food.
After a lot of barking and yelping, the place shut down and went out of business.
Never did find out what was in the spaghetti Bolognaise.

To be honest guys, I usually put Relish on my burgers. But now I think i'll put a fiver each way ... %)
-
Very funny guys, but let's remember that this is a global forum, and some people are extremely sensitive about their animals, especially horse lovers.
The mane thing is that we consider them as we chuckle over this distasteful tail, and avoid getting on the wrong side of anyone 'hoof-hearted'

OLD Breaking News.......Tesco, Sainsbury, Iceland & other supermarkets have been found supplying burgers containing horse meat and and beef sausages containing pork. This is unthinkable. Thankfully we shop as ASDA and their burgers are the dogs bo**ox.
Pinched
-
On a serious note though ...
The horse meat is one thing but Trans fats are another entirely worse thing added to our burgers and sausage. <*<

Took me ages to find the burgers in Tesco this morning. They were down by the carrots.
HMV vouchers now being accepted at Tesco. Just tell them HMV means Horse Meat Voucher
Just been to Tesco and bought a bottle of Bacardi, a bottle of Lamb's and some burgers. So that's white rum, navy rum and Red Rum.

The Mrs. is a horse fan. I keep getting in trouble for laughing at this thread!!!!!! %% %% %% %%

Aren't we strange beings. Eat cow no problem but horse ... WoW!
I don't have a problem eating horse (I'm sure I did in France once), but I must admit I'd be less comfortable with dog or cat, though I've heard that pure carnivores like cats are not very nice to eat.
How about rat? Or in a real pinch, human? I'm not sure.
-
It's been a good laugh but I think that the problem is that mega companys like tesco can con the customer by dodgy labelling.
If the suppliers of burger meat can con the major companys summat is wrong and needs addressing.
A Jewish person would not be happy knowing a little bit of pig had sneaked into the burger.

No, I think that's way out of order.
In a production line, at a supplier to supermarkets, I can possibly see pork being accidently mixed in with beef, before making beefburgers.
Horse is no accident. This is deliberate fraud by a manufacturer and/or its employees.
Tescos (and all the rest of them) should take it on themselves to monitor production processes using some of the billions they make in profits from their customers.

scary thing is supermarkets are investigating suppliers of meat balls now ( i liked em and thought they were the mutts nuts )
and apparently there may be an issue with ingredients in cock a leeky soup

What you have been eating is now a news item in Brisbane Australia,

I don't have a problem eating horse. I now live in China and in the south they eat everything.
However, if something is not supposed to be in a product it is a risk. Do we know if the horse meat was fit for human consuption. Do we know what else could be in the food, that isn't supposed to be?
TT
Writing from the land of tainted milk, fake baby formula, recycled oil (for cooking), fake eggs, fake beef, fake pork, steriod and antibiotic loaded pork and chicken (at dangerous levels), fake rice, fake alchohol, and many other food scares.

Guys......really in OZ in our supermarkets ...Coles & Woollies we can select from the fresh food counters O0
chicken = chook, turkey = dark dry tough chook, pig = pork, cow = beef, kangaroo = dark RED meat, crocodile = lighter meat that isn't cow or pig.......but is tougher than chicken
Then we have 27 different varieties of seafood/fish labled as questionable types.... {:-{ species that surely could not look like that & for that $cost >>:-(
Then in our Asian stores %% everyhing else imaginable <*<
Thank goodness for a little [LOT] of garlic & olive oil...... :P when I cook..........Derek

Just seen all the fuss because "They" have discovered Horse Meat in some Burgers. So what? During the war, and after it too, there was a Butchers at the top of Walthamstow High Street called " The Continental Butcher" He sold only Horse meat. And when the weekly proper meat ration fell to 3 ounces a week per head, there was a queue outside his shop for some tasty Pony steaks and shoulder joints. Needed to be cooked a bit longer, but it was good! Also here in Germany is eaten as a matter of course and is sold in normal butchers. Known as "Rossfleisch" here, and it is definitely tasty. It is only the "My God, it is Horse!" Brigade that has a problem, after all, all those dead Australian Wild Horses , known as Brumblies I believe, can't all go into dog food! ( Germany imported 46,000 Tons of Horse meat from Aussieland last year) Enjoy your Burgers....

Strange how tastes change when some are told what they are eating. %%

Mainly that the horse bit wasn't supposed to there. If you paid for a solid gold item and it turned out you were given gold plated silver would you not be just a little bit annoyed?
-
I think that it's not the fact that the horse-meat was in those products but from where that meat was sourced. The USA exports amazing amounts of it's horse carcasses, some of which has been legally treated with medicines that are fine for racing or working horses but that are carcinogenic to humans.
Food suppliers in our food markets have stringent regulations to adhere to and anyone who is passing off this type of horse meat is knowingly illegally contaminating the food chain and potentially selling food that could kill humans, adults and our children...
I'm more than happy to eat horse as long as it's supplied specifically for the human market as it is in countries like France, it's delicious ... I wouldn't feed those burgers to a dog .. even one I didn't like ....
-
So can I actually go out and buy horse meat meant for human consumption?
Dave ...... Recipes anyone?

Horse salad (for the health conscious)
1 1/4 lb. (565 g) horse tenderloin, finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 cup (60 mL)extra light olive oil *
1/2 cup (125 mL) red wine
10 cups (2.5 L) mixed gourmet lettuce
1/3 cup (75 mL) fresh chopped coriander
1 onion, minced
In a bowl, mix slices of horsemeat, garlic, 30 mL (2 Tbsp.) oil and red wine; macerate 30 minutes.
In a frying pan, heat the rest of the oil; cook the slices of horsemeat with the marinade over medium high heat; bring to a boil; lower heat; cook about 5 minutes, turning meat only once. Keep hot.
Put lettuce on a plate; sprinkle with coriander.
Add onion; place slices of horsemeat on the salad; lightly cool the marinade; pour over the salad. Serve.
Suggestion
Horsemeat is best when served rare.

Not to mention other foods, reported recently, that have been knowingly illegally contaminated and have killed people, mainly children.
