Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Food Horsemeat found in beefburgers. UK and Ireland

Are they all these wonderful race horses that are bred for people to win a fortune on and for the owners to get rich enough for them to buy lots more, for the bookies to afford their luxury yachts in the south of France? Or,are they the little pets that everyone loved, until the child grew too big and nobody wanted little Dobbin anymore?
Are there any horse breeders, specifically for the meat market in this country because I imagine they would have to be fairly young animals, before they became to tough? I bet there are, being undetected so far.

I suppose this is what is called trading with our european partners. We sell them our pet horses for them to mince up, they send them back in pies for us to eat, selling to us under a different heading of beef. So the lies continue!!!!
What will euthenasia bring???

'I imagine they would have to be fairly young animals, before they became to tough?'

Neigh! When minced don't suppose the age matters.

My schoolfriend used to eat horsemeat when her father was stationed in Aden, and to her family it was normal to eat it.

I think in this scare, the main thing is that the ingredients are not what shown and criminals are involved. Thinking about it they could if they had wished, put in poison and killed thousands.

Just had a horrible thought, am I drinking horse milk in my morning brew ?

Surely due to the content percentage this should be titled 'cow meat found in horse burgers'

Birdseye have now withdrawn their fish fingers, they have been tested and found to contain 90% seahorse.

can't wait for the grand national, we can have fast-food

Forget about the horsemeat, this is far more worrying Edd! Or are ducks not affected?

my date didn't go to well with the horse, so you're safe

Aldi now back selling Lasagne. What with my antibiotics and a couple of helpings, I should be prancing and rearing to go by the weekend!
