Today I ordered a burger in a tesco cafe and the waitress asked if I wanted anything on it, so I had a fiver each way.
That'll make up part of your stable diet...
I wondered why I kept getting the trots. :smiley:

Shocking news. Tesco own brand value hamburgers have been found to have traces of real MEAT in them.
Horse meet in Tesco burgers!! Its been in there furlong time!
HSE confirm that all those who ate horseburgers are in a stable condition.

some Tesco stores in Essex are selling burgers---- Quarter pandars
I dunno what all the fuss is about.
I like horse. Cheaper than beef and just as tasty.
People are hypocrites.
They will eat ickle fwuffy lambywamies and buuywabbits but get upset because they think they might be eating the loser from the 2:30 at Chepstow.
Worse is that the don't mind feeding it to their pets, so long as we don't tell them.
In Belgium and France horsemeat is in all the supermarkets and butchers and costs around 2/3 of the cost of beef.
The horses are bred and raised for meat, not for racing.
Trying to eat a racehorse would be like trying to digest Cordura.
Good point George, but my guess is that customers were under the impression that the meat they were buying was Bovine not Equine.
I've never tasted Horse meat BTW :no:
Not knowingly anyway !!!!

Eaten it and it's just another meat.
I think the bollox is because it isn't declared! So what - not gonna hurt you is it?!

:agree: Its not the eating of horse meat that's the issue its buying one product and unwittingly being sold another.....naturally some folk wont like the idea of eating dobbin, personally I'd give it a go :yes:
I once was very close to ordering a dobbin burger in france.... but my other half pointed out the translation!!
Well, it's finally hit the papers over here. Big news indeed.
If yer buying a BUDGET beefburger then you should expect it to contain other stuff.
I'm amazed that it had any beef in it at all.
That said, Beefburgers contain all kinds of stuff, and are only required to contain something like 60% beef.
Perhaps I should sue McDonalds as they sell a Hamburger and theres no :censored: Ham in it!
Lets be honest, the only people who really give a :censored: are the horsey community who are devastated to realise that they have been riding a stupid skittish cow with cute eyes for all these years. Bring on the QuarterHorseBurger, and I'll have some minced Mutton and a nice medallion of grilled Hedgehog while I'm at it.

If massive world wide companys such as Tesco, Findus and lots of others are caught up in the the horse meat crisis, and most of us not knowing what the hell they are selling us, does it not make you wonder what we are being served up by the many thousands of take aways, that seem to be dotted on every street corner in all of our towns and citys. I for one will be avoiding them like the plague.

Hey by eck, you can't beat a doner kebab with salad, (not to much mind) :mfr_lol: and some spicy chilli sauce after 15 pints of scrumpy down the local ale house.
The big supermarkets are always looking to increase margins by squeezing suppliers. The supply chain is so long that food contamination can occur with relative ease. Add in the cost of doing DNA checks, the suppliers won't be able to deliver at the costs the supermarkets demand. I bet its not only at the value end either. Some of those premium products will also be contaminated.
And then there's the Government who don't know their elbow from their arse.
I have a mate who used to be a big meat eater until he saw the food chain. The feed to chickens to force them to grow was enough. We now try and source as much locally and I have tried to go more veggie this year

Soya mince, often called soy mince, or soy ground beef, is a product made out of textured vegetable protein. It is textured and shaped to resemble mince, or ground beef, and is usually colored and seasoned so that the look and flavor of the soy product is the similar to that of beef. A versatile food, soya mince can be used in any recipe that calls for ground beef or any other type of ground meat, making the dish suitable for vegetarians or vegans and reducing the fat and calories of traditional dishes.
There is no :shit: in it :nono:

And where does the local butcher gets his meat from?
I doubt that he buys live animals and kills them himself.
So he buys his meat from a wholesaler like everybody else.

How do you know? After all you're talking about artificial meat and there could be anything (including real meat) in it.
Most likely at least genetically modified soy beans from god only knows where from since they don't grow those over here and hell knows what else. :yes:
Mecki, there are many local farm shops near to where I live and indeed farm shops are scattered in most villages and small towns. What they sell is local produce and in some cases they raise, slaughter, prepare, and sell their produce. A chap on my team at work lives on his fathers farm and they do just that. I've had many a succulent steak from local farm shops whilst on holiday in Scotland, Cornwall, Lincolnshire etc and it tastes totally different from the equivalent at Morrison's and is well worth the extra you'll pay for it.
Alternatively buy from the local butcher.
I think the idea when buying from the local butcher is that you can see the unrefined meat and often the bone it is attached to. Any good butcher can tell which animal it comes from by the colour and texture.
ps, I agree with Mecki about the soya stuff, You could be eating horse as well, just cos its says its soya doesn't mean it is (tastes like beef, looks like beef, where have we heard that before?????)

Correct Steve, it seems that some folk are unaware of this fact, the lamb from my local butcher is actually grazing in the field in front of my house as I'm typing this :yes:
I know where my produce comes from, even the eggs I buy are from a local farmer and If I want i'm sure he'd let me sit and watch them being laid
It's amazing that some people can be so thick as to assume that everything has to be sourced at a supermarket
We do use the supermarket, Asda, Morrisons etc. for convenience. Tend to get mince from M&S. Don't really give a toss what's in it to be honest, it's only an issue in this country with all the dobbin lovers - and yes I know about the 'oss drug issues, but who knows what the moo-moo's have been given as there seems to be no real testing of the meats we eat.
The media have made this 'scandal' into one. Most folk I speak to think it's all a big fuss over nothing.
Re local butchers, the one I tend to use goes to the slaughter house and selects his meat at that source. He doesn't deal in 'oss!

In every civilized country (afaik at least since BSE in the UK too) it is strictly prohibited to sell meat from home kills.
All animals killed for meat have to be slaughtered in approved and controlled abattoirs. There are very strict rules and high penalties in place for non compliance. So your local butcher or farmer is either breaking the law if he actually sells meat from a home kill or is telling lies where the meat comes from.
That doesn't mean that a farmer can't have his own animals slaughtered in an abattoir and then take the carcasses home. But like many other products sold in farm shops a lot of it comes from the same market or wholesaler the supermarkets buy their produce from. You just pay more for it. :ohplease:
I used to own a beef farm with 50 breeding cows in New Zealand so I know what I am talking about. It would have been impossible to sell meat from my own animals on a daily basis all year round since you only sell them once they are ready for slaughter. And normally that happens within a very short period. If your calving season is 3 months in Winter all your calves will be ready for slaughter 18 or if you feed only grass 24 months later also within 3 months and the rest of the year you would have to buy meat from the abattoir if you wanted to sell it in a farm shop.
But if you know how a good piece of meat is supposed to look like then you can source it nearly everywhere. And as far as beef is concerned the most important thing is ageing and then how you cook it. If you prefer your steak well-done then it doesn't really matter where the meat came from - it's ruined anyway.
Of course the cheap cuts sold in the bargain chiller at Morrisons or Asda are normally old dairy cow, tough as an old boot and taste accordingly. But you can also source well-aged prime Angus in supermarkets like Waitrose if you are willing to pay a few bob more.
By the way the best beef is from a heifer that just had her first calf not from steers or bulls.
Using my post as a quote in order to support your supposition about "home kills" basically demonstrates the weakness of your argument.
The local farmer who I used as a reference happens to be a good pal (and biker :yes:) he sends his animals to a professional/licensed local abattoir for slaughter before he presents the meat for sale, it is extremely unlikely that he is breaking any law in this connection. I have every confidence in him and his produce.
I am aware that abattoirs have to comply with government guidelines, there are several such facilities in this area, as indeed I know there are in many rural environments.
I am not sufficiently informed enough to be able to quote the laws that apply in New Zealand past or present with regard to this subject ~ so I wont.
I've always accepted that the cooking of any meat is down to individual choice and preference.

You either didn't read my post or you didn't want to understand it. :surrender:
It has nothing to do with laws in New Zealand but with animal farming in general.
And since you talk about lamb in your post it is the same story as with beef.
In a climate like the UK as a farmer you just cannot sell your own fresh lamb every day all year round.
To do that you would have to have ewes lambing all year and not just in spring. :smartass:
