Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
BBC News - 'Horsemeat beefburgers' investigated in UK and Ireland
Horse meat has been found in meat processing plants in both the Republic of Ireland and North Yorkshire, my first thoughts were Neigh:rolleyes: In some case horse meat is 25% Tesco and Iceland have both been effected by this and have recalled all the products, the processing plants involved Silvercrest foods in Ireland and Dalepak Hambleton in North Yorkshire |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
It's the mane story in the papers today but I bet that meat gives you the trots.:D
|
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
While I can understand concern about how the horsemeat got into the burgers in a plant where no horsemeat is processed, I think folks should stop being squeamish about eating it. We eat cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, rabbits, goats, deer, even kangaroo, emu and ostrich in some fancy restaurants. So why not horse? The French have no such scruples...:eek: Let's get the bit between our teeth and try it!
(Gallops off to think of some more horrendous puns...) |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
Yeah I can't understand why apparently everyone who has eaten one has such a long face ? :D
|
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
They eat horse meat all the time in Belgium too, its reet

I had some of them Tesco burgers last night but this morning I still had a bit between my teeth so I checked the fridge and guess what ? They're off !!:D

Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
I am really surprised that Iceland products have been affected...their QC is really hot on mixed species meat....I know because my daughter was head of QC at a local firm. They supplied Iceland with some products, and their QC found the product to be a 'mixed species' meat. Daughter had to go down to their headquarters and explain how it had happened, and what measures were to be used to prevent the situation from happening again.
I guess it isn't the fact that the burgers contained horsemeat that is the problem, but that products were not labelled appropriately. Horsemeat is lean, high in protein and nutritious...it is just that some people may not want to eat horse under the guise of beef. |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
I'll try anything once. I can always wash it down with some red rum.

Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
So who had a nagging suspicion about Dobbin burgers ?
I know the Germans also eat horse meat, there's a butchers down in Osnabruck (nearest major City to us) that deals with it. |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
Well they make a change from Filly Mignon steak...
|
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
Did they have starters ? A few Horse devours maybe ? :rolleyes:
And I bet it's a racing certainty they'll come across a few hurdles while on the national hunt for answers. :) Just a thought, are they sure the stuff in Iceland was Horse & not Pony ? |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
Tesco will be prosecuted under the Trades Description Act.
The burgers are supposed to be Shergar free. |

It'll be a race against time to find out who's responsable.
Tescos sales figures will be riding on the result but we mustn't jump to conclusions. |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
I can't see a real problem with eating horse meat so long as that's what it says, I hate it when I should be eating what is called a 7 to 4 favourite that struggles to come in last, even on the replay!

Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
I'll be glad when the finishing line is in sight.
BBC News - Why do British people have such a revulsion over horsemeat? |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
A spokesman for Tesco said their burger sales were still stable !!

Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland

|
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
You can't blame Dalepak for trying to improve their stuff by putting meat in it. Normally tastes like horse waste
|
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
Well I don't really like beef burgers, because the last time I had them I ended up with the gallops:rolleyes:
|
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
My dad said he was that hungry that he could eat at horse. "Were fresh out of burgers" came the reply from the kitchen. Then my niece piped up and said "you can eat my ldl pony if you like"

Interesting that the overwhelming reaction from the public has not been outrage, but a rush to think of the corniest horse joke.
Sky News said this morning that for every tweet they got complaining about horse meat in burgers, they got 100 tweets with horse jokes. Must say something about the British state of mind. |

Never mind the beefburgers. Tescos value meatballs are the dogs danglers. :D:D

Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
Beside the horsemeat problem I wonder what the reaction in the Jewish and Muslim communities has been on finding they were eating pig. If they eat this Tesco Value rubbish, that is.

Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland

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 |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
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.

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. :) |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
Nicest meat I ever had in Foshan, China was mouse casserole. 2 k gs went into the pot !
Dog? well not to my liking too salty, maybe it was the monosodium glutamate? Now theres one..food additives doesn't bear thinking about. |
Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
Loving all the puns on here :-)
Just a thought but.... for the people who do complain, maybe it's time for them to start cooking for themselves again instead of buying ready meals. At least that way, you know what you're eating. |

Personally, I don't know what the horsemeat fuss is about. I don't eat ready meals or burgers but I do like meat. I have had horsemeat, kangaroo, crocodile and lots of our traditional meats and offals. To be honest, this has been an opportunity to make jokes about something other than celebrity paedophiles. Therefore, I am watching with interest what they'll find next :D |

There is a microchip and 'passport' system in place to prevent drugged horses from entering the human food chain.
This system has been fraudulently bypassed by criminal operators. I don't object to eating horse meat but I do object to contaminated meat masquerading as fit for humans. Phenylbutazone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |

Re: Horse Meat in Tesco and Iceland
bottom line is these companies know we arnt a horse eating nation and put horsemeat in our food supply while neglecting to declare it on the ingredients
at the slightest sniff of anything unliked the french will and have banned all our meat exports yet they seem to be upset that some are saying we should ban trading meat with the french.They dont seem to like it when someone does it to them. mind you it just goes to show what these countries think of us as trading partners when they so blatantly mislead us.What if someone was alergic to horsemeat or the drugs in the horse that was used the paramedics wouldnt have a clue because the ingredients arnt listed on the packaging. iv eaten horsemeat when in spain it was sold to me as a beef burger and at first i thought it tasted different because it was processed in some way different but on my second bite i took it back to the bar and asked what i had been given and was told they used horsemeat burgers but called them beefburgers for the tourists sake lol |

Those crops you rely on are damaging your health, unless you eat only organic. Health risks of genetically modified ... [Crit Rev Food Sci Nutr. 2009] - PubMed - NCBI "As genetically modified (GM) foods are starting to intrude in our diet concerns have been expressed regarding GM food safety. These concerns as well as the limitations of the procedures followed in the evaluation of their safety are presented. Animal toxicity studies with certain GM foods have shown that they may toxically affect several organs and systems. The review of these studies should not be conducted separately for each GM food, but according to the effects exerted on certain organs it may help us create a better picture of the possible health effects on human beings. The results of most studies with GM foods indicate that they may cause some common toxic effects such as hepatic, pancreatic, renal, or reproductive effects and may alter the hematological, biochemical, and immunologic parameters. However, many years of research with animals and clinical trials are required for this assessment. The use of recombinant GH or its expression in animals should be re-examined since it has been shown that it increases IGF-1 which may promote cancer." |

On some Swiss farms, no animals are safe from the dinner table.
According to a report by the Swiss newspaper Tages Anzeiger, some farmers in rural parts of central and eastern Switzerland enjoy a slice of cured cat or dog meat from time to time. "There's nothing odd about it", one farmer in the Rhine Valley said. "Meat is meat." As my posts are being redacted for double entendres I leave others to make the obvious puns. |
