You are right there, it is very popular here but it is not cheaper than beef -quite the opposite in fact, but they only eat the top quality stuff. I don't eat it myself but my husband does and can't understand my squeamishness about it. They also sell "puledro" here which is "young horse" :eek: and is even more highly prized!

What puzzles me is how the horse meat got into the production line of the beef burgers - as there is a very strict control line on the whole chain of production from the farm to consumer these days. You can literally follow the registration codes back to an individual animal and see which farm it came from, where it was born and raised etc. This was undoubtedly some kind of illegal speculation or someone, somewhere was horsing around at the expense of the great British Tesco-going public.:D

What about those in the far East who eat dogs, and its not all that long ago some people ate one another, they referred to it as long pig. I'm laughing at al this, for well over 70 years if it swims, runs, or fly's I don't eat it. Just a litle thing to aid your appetites for tea, a body in a burning building smells like bacon cooking.

Yes, right, well, but if that burning building is on Blackburn road, should we worry about what will be on the Menu tonight?

Seems the good people of Filly - sorry Findus knew a while back. :rolleyes:

Findus knew a week ago that meals contained horse meat - Telegraph

Thing is though, the last line of the article surely puts things into perspective. :)
