Tesco Horsemeat

"MMMmmmm... I could roast this one!!!" The horror!!! -LOL

[Sutton]

Was that Mundare by chance?? I love their Sausage. er.... Kubasa,

Yeah it was SMP in mundane the only reason they got charges was because they didn't have the horse on the ingredients only pork and beef. IMO still wicked stuff

This type of issue seems to be happeing more and more world wide. Recently in the US, DNA tests on Fish served in restaurants yielded a huge amount of counterfits, Cod was Haddock, Flounder was Hakke, Swordfish was Mako Shark, etc... Talk about false advertisment

Yes, I've been reading up on false fish for some time now. It's not surprising when there are so many weak links in the supply chain. If it's caught in international waters and processed in international waters, it could be anything. Escolar, for example is perhaps the worst of the imitation fish. Sometimes called "white" tuna (no such thing), it contains high amounts of undigestible wax esters. These things give it the rich, melting mouthfeel people like...but it also drips out undigetsted from your bung as an orange waxy liquid. Speaking of which, anyone remember Olestra? Since that disaster, the term "oily anal leakage" is etched in my mind as the worst side effect warning ever posted on a chip bag.

Olestra! I remember that stuff! Was funny seeing people hoe into a pack of those fat free chips and then telling them to look carefully at the warning label. The looks on their faces was priceless!!

It's a shame! There ahould never be any risk related to eat something as good as horsemeat! On another not, I recently discovered Kangaroo meat and really enjoyed it.

Just heard one at lunchtime.

Guy goes into a restaurant for lunch, "I'll have the burger please".

Waiter says "What do you want on it?"

"A fiver each way".

A Frenchman on safari stops in a local restaurant for dinner and asks if they have any horse steak on the menu.

The waiter says "the local specialty dish is zebra, sir".

"Ah oui," says monsieur. "Zis is a horse of a different color, no?"

[Troels]

Would think horse would be a less perverted food item than some of the major others: gmo chickens grown in two weeks using magic, that corn thing that supposely makes up a great part of most processed food, all the flavour additives, the stuff that glues Meat scraps together again - and so on. I dont want horse when I buy beef, but that whole food industry is just depressing all together
