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.

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.

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.  <*<

A few more -



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.

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.

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?

Eating Horses
« Reply #44 on: February 01, 2013, 04:34:47 pm »

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....

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 ....

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.
