I think we've covered horse and other exotic meats. This is a bit naughty though:

I love the

"It said they posed no health risk."

Why would it ?

Well you wouldn't want to be saddled with dodgy meat, would you?

Or to find that David Cameron or Rebekah Brookes had sat on your dinner, surely?

Here we go.

I avoid burgers, in the mane.

In other news: it's being reported that Police have called off the search...

Is horsemeat illegal in Ireland?

Far from posing a health risk it is very healthy, having a lower fat content than beef. It also has rather a good flavour.

Well you're no foal there.

I like the best cuts, like a prime filly

[Flosshilde]

Sorry ams, I really can't believe that you'd like a filly, prime or otherwise

[amateur51]

That would be filly mignon, done rare Flossie

perhaps people shopping in those shops canter ford good burgers.

I do not like this news at all. In fact, it's horrifying. I have often had Tesco's cottage pie. It hasn't got horse in it but if they are mixing up beef and pork without knowing what is going on, I think that is disgraceful.

My two hour chat in a Burton Bradstock pub with a butcher friend of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall springs to mind. He told me that the only "supermarkets" that he would buy meat in are Waitrose and Marks and Spencers.

According to him, the main problem is that the label "Made in Britain" can mean simply that the product was packaged in Britain. Beware of Belgium, he said, or words to that effect. It seems that he might have been right.

more important is that the buyers have no idea of what meat is in the prepared items nor where the same was sourced from - notice that one factory is passing the blame onto east european suppliers.
I'm sure that all the Moslems + Jews who thought they were avoiding pigmeat were happy to be consumers after all - mindyou Sainsburys now uses stewed pigs trotters in most if not all of their deserts (M+S is more upmarket - it claims solely to use cow heels)

Avoiding eating meat (in the mane , to use somebody elses pun) is easier and more enjoyable than i thought it would be.
