I quite like horsemeat actually. Don't eat burgers though. Haven't had one since Wimpy.

That's the mane problem I think

[do i not like fizzy pop]

At least it shows there is meat in them

[trousers]

Only found in working class supermarket chains so thankfully doesn't affect me

[Saint in Paradise]

Belgians eat lots of horsemeat I seem to remember?

[PhilippineSaint]

Obviously produced for the French market.

[Saint Paul C]

I think that these burgers are made of hay grade meat. Please pass the equine list would you.

 

However, I don't think that they will be on sale furlong.

In life, you get what you pay for

[dubai_phil]

Look on the bright side.

 

Reduces the chance of getting BSE

[St Chalet]

The main problem has been customers consuming these burgers then having cravings for sugar cubes.

[Special K]

If you've eaten one, don't saddle yourself with any guilt.

[bridge too far]

Could spur you on to try quality rather than cheap burgers in future

[Sheaf Saint]

Thankfully burgers aren't part of my stable diet anyway

[bridge too far]

Buying more expensive burgers could put you in hock, though

 

Although you might be able to menage your finances

[solentstars]

agree anyone who thinks more expensive burgers are better need to remember its junk food,check the meat content its common knowledge that most burgers have had other meat added to it for years in the meat trade. i,m ok i only eat steak ..

[suewhistle]

Mmm horse meat, lean and full of iron, or maybe that's just because they've forgotten to take the horseshoes off...

"These Tesco burgers are low in fat but high in shergar

I just checked the Tesco burgers I have in the fridge.......... THEY'RE OFF!!!!!!!!!

Tesco say that the public are not concerned about horse meat in their burgers according to the Gallup Poll figures"

"Is it a coincidence that 'HAMBURGERS' is an anagram of 'SHERGAR BUM' ?

And some more.......

I took some Tesco burgers out if the freezer this morning..... nearly thawed, they are going good to soft!

I complained at the checkout today that I had Zebra meat in my burger, then I realised it was the barcode"

[Colinjb]

Really don't get the hysteria over eating horse meat in this country. I would quite happily munch on a Horse steak if offered. Meant to be quite lean if I remember correctly.

 

Well, at least I can now cross it off the 'consumed' list, even if it was only indirectly.

[Whitey Grandad]

My French customer told me that the best meat for steak tartare was horse.

[SuperMikey]

I've had those burgers before, they're alright. At least the horse meat in it has a lower content of brain, anus and eyelids than the beef meat does.

 

Ultimately, if you're paying 40p for a pack of burgers you can't complain about what's in them.

[miserableoldgit]

Really doesn`t take long does it?

Eaten horsemeat before no problem eating that but will not eat any burger or sausages at any price.I seen how they make them and the amount of crap which goes into them.

Surprised this thread hasn't really lasted the distance. Thought it would run and run.

No point flogging a dead horse …….

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

when you can eat it between a sesame seeded bap instead

[Window Cleaner]

what's the law regarding horse-meat in the UK nowadays ?

 

I know they used to do it at the Chante**** if you asked them nicely in French and in a round about way and didn't look like a copper.

Watch out for the ones high in Shergar.

I always wondered what the Squirrel Burgers that Boyd refers to in Stars and Bars would be like.

[dronskisaint]

Had a Tesco burger last night...still got a bit between my teeth...

 

Couldn't decide whether to do them as starter or main...horses for courses etc....

[pap]

A mate of mine claimed to have found fur in a burger once. I'm surprised it didn't make the news.

[dronskisaint]

Waitress asked if I wanted anything on my burger...I asked for a fiver each way...

[Dark Munster]

 

mmmmmm... horse burgers.

[Dimond Geezer]

I'm turning veggie, will be steering clear of quarter pandas & jumbo sausages, although I've also herd a rumour that veggie burgers are made from uniquorn.

This I totally agree with, it's a shame that it's not popular in this country. People have no objection to eating those cute little Lambs so why not horse?

[Toomer]

One supermarket chain has re-named their burgers to My Lidle Pony.

[Kingsland Nick]

The meat content of some beef lasagne products recalled by Findus was up to 100%

horsemeat, the Food Standards Agency has said.

might make some people realise now that some of our big brand names are outsourced to other third party suppliers hence why the big company's pay big money for brand names.

They could sell them to a pub chain.....Hungry Horse

on a serious note, My mum died of CJD. if they can't keep horse meat out of beef burgers how do we know that the beef is up to any standard?

[Thedelldays]

I think Burger King do the best burgers...if they have horse meat in...oh well

[ringwood]

so Beef has to be traceable because of CJD so why did Findus not ask wheres the certification? If they have certification thats more worrying because its obviously not beef and therefore the certification is falsified

[Dr Who?]

Would like to try horse meat, as it must taste like beef, as no one as noticed the difference FFS

 

Was in a restaurant at lunchtime today, and was surprised to see lasagne under 'starter orders'.

[ART]

I've eaten horsement here in France for close to 40 years. No other meat on the market more healthy, lean and tasty. If you like Fillet steak there is little difference with steak of horse meat. My late father was raised with horses and joined the cavalry in WWII. The thought of eating horse was his greatest aversion yet when in France he was served a horse steak to which he said it was the best steak he'd ever eaten. He never was told that it was horse.

 

The problem with the current situation is the medication found in this horse meat of criminal origin in Poland unfit for human consumption . The whole of Europe is flooded with it believing the meat to be Irish beef. The same old story if importing from one country and then selling as from that country.

 

Good news insects high in protein, common in Asia, are soon to enter the European food market as filler to many meat dishes

[Horley CTFC Saint]

No thanks I'll stick to the safe option and have a lasagne

Shame the galloping gourmet is not alive I'm sure he could come up with some excellent surf and turf dishes

Here in France there is talk that some of the meat used from Romania contained donkey meat and aged work horses. To date in France there has been no talk of horse meat being used in burgers. Still to come !!!

 

I recall 40 years ago over here China was exporting frozen cats as rabbit to France. I cannot believe in this day and age our food is still so uncontrolled and open to abuse.
