Delius myth= Delia Smith. Not exactly Peter Cook, but better than most of AH's attempts at a joke.

Even I got that one Cally - are you sure you're not over-doing things?

horse semen.

I thought it was women who were usually referred to as 'horsey'?

it's just as likely to be horse semen.

Seeing how this affair has caused Tesco shares to droop, perhaps this would be the horse semen of the apocalypse?

No wonder all the long faces in the board room.

It was very interesting
shame it ended with Macca though

...and very critical of the FSA.

The FSA is just one of the many regulatory organisations 'captured' by the industry that it is supposed to regulate - it has zero interest in the consumer merely to protect the food processing industry - look at its inability to force thro simple and unambiguous food labelling in face of opposition from junk suppliers such as Tesco.

Frances, I know the FSA has been blocked by Tesco but if this article is to believed there will be some consistent labelling at some time this year (although it's disappointing to see it is voluntary)

I don't go to stores such as Iceland but when I see the prices on their windows (£1.50 for a family sized lasagne for example) I really do wonder what recovered - is that the right word?- meat might be in it. The scandal is not products that contain horse, I have eaten horse in France, but not informing consumers that it's My Lidl Pony shows complete contempt for consumers
Mr. GG, I agree about wheeling out Macca but he is a National Treasure by Royal Appointment and the Nation's Favourite Vegetarian (also it helps him plug his late wife's range of frozen veggie food!)
