Too much is being said about the horse meat, its the fact that anything could be in food is the problem
Disgusting ready made food is full of hidden rubbish under the description things such as `stabillisers` and even more hidden as processing aids or similar , i dont understand people buying `ready meals` as they often take longer to cook and taste nasty with a dreadful texture and a funny smell
I think the fact that chicken is full of horse....thats the problem, not that its horse, its the fact that they put it there to hold the added water in the meat , its necessary!
I say take the water out and no horse, pig, beef, plastic or similar is needed in the formula....meat shouldnt have a formula
In Bulgaria , its better than the UK....as long as you buy carefully , (obviously I dont buy minced `meat` in Bulgaria but then again I have a mincer and mince my own in the UK as well)
Most meat in Bulgaria is localy produced ( usually far too often its a neighbours pig....or chicken ) the local shops sell the food that you have watchd running round the roads for the last few months, or the cows being walked around by there owners, the animals ( and people ) have a much higher standard of living over there in many ways.
Even town supermarkets have virtually free range meat for sale, all far cheaper and better taste than anything ive had in the UK
