Saint Paul C Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 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. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solentstars Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 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 ..

Colinjb Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 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.

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.

Window Cleaner Posted 16 January, 2013 Share Posted 16 January, 2013 (edited) 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.

ringwood Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 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 Posted 8 February, 2013 Share Posted 8 February, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 11 February, 2013 Share Posted 11 February, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
