Guest peter Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I don't know what all the fuss is about. You've all probably eaten cat - dog or even rats from your local chinese takeaway and thought it was brilliant. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 peter - 2013-01-17 4:56 PM I don't know what all the fuss is about. You've all probably eaten cat - dog or even rats from your local chinese takeaway and thought it was brilliant. :D Yes it's strange that, Our local one buys rabbits, but I've never seen Rabbit Chow Mein on the menu, still I suppose they must buy it for personal use ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I think I'd prefer rabbit to most of the tasteless hormone injected chicken you seem to get now Colin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerC Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Unashamedly stolen from another site I visit: Email to stock broker, "I would expect Tesco's stock to drop in the near future but not furlong." Email to second stock broker, " we're taking a different tack, we expect the stock to be stable " I'm looking in the freezer to check my burgers........., and there off !! To beef, or not to beef, that is equestrian ? Tesco burgers give me the trots !! What are the odds on buying a burger with horse in it ? I had a Tesco burger last night, I've still got a bit between my teeth ! This problem canter be the best news for Tesco. An anagram of hamburgers, Shergars bum The food standards agency is searching farrier and wide to find the source of the contamination Tesco are financing the Godfather 5, a police informant wakes up to find a pack of frozen burgers in his bed. I was going to buy a pack of low fat hamburgers, but I discovered they were high in Shergar Tesco's 1/4 pandas are now popular in Essex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepe63xnotuse Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Very good RogerC.. (lol) ... as for what's wrong with horse meat..well,personally,I'd say not much,IF that's what you knew you were buying.. but it's the traceability(lack of) that's the real issue...where did it come from?How "safe" was it? and How the hell did it find it's way in there?.. ..and where was it really meant to go?...was it some sort of "minced slops" that should've gone for pet food? 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Apparently it was all down to the burger plant manager when his instructions were misheard due to him feeling a little hoarse that morning. Most inauspicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelly58 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 The Tesco Meatballs in Gravy are the "D""s B"s "On a serious note in the 1980's I worked for a Meat Wholesaler as a long distance lorry driver , I had a regular delivery to a Burger / Sausage ( Hot Dog Jumbo Sausage ) manufacturer in Blackpool where we were able to sell anything we could not use ourselves for their products . Pallets of frozen meat / fat /pork rhind were stood out in the yard thawing out with Seagulls on top pecking and cra****g away that place was a real eye opener. The ironic thing was most of their products were delivered to fast food outlets in Great Yarmouth as they dare not sell them in Blackpool. That was just one of the places that was a serious health risk in those days. The old saying is true one mans rubbish is another mans gold or where there's muck there's money. Its the profits that the shareholders are only interested in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always said that having seen how it was handled/stored,he'd never eat any sort of "processed" meat products...only "intact" joints of meat from a butchers... My concern with this "horse meat" lark,is not so much what it is..but where it came from!...How "healthy" we're the animals?...What were they "riddled" with?...What did they die of...?! 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laimeduck Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I used to inspect several food factories around Northampton who made (& still do) meat pies of various types. Invariably the meat was reclaimed from the less popular cuts of animals. Known in the trade as "ELA" pies:- "Eyebrows, Lips, & A**eholes"! I make my own sausages & pies now 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
