**Phill** · 07-Feb-13, 21:29

I hope they flog 'em off cheap, the kids love 'em!

Is horse hung? Like wot beef is?

**Alrock** · 07-Feb-13, 22:47

The one thing that puzzles me is where all this horsemeat comes from....
First Tesco, then Findus, both big brands so that must mean hell of a lot of horses where used...

So.... Where are there fields full of horses to the same extent as we have fields full of cows?

Was it an Italian stallion?

You've forgotten Asda.

One of Britain’s biggest supermarkets yesterday pulled all its own brand frozen beefburgers from sale after “exceptionally high” levels of horse meat were found at its Northern Irish supplier.

Asda withdrew the beefburgers as a "precautionary measure" after tests at Freeza Meats in Newry County Down, found beef stored at its plant contained up to 80 per cent horse meat.

I love the photo of the horse's head next to the burger.

Maybe not, but they all seem to want one.

I was in Asda in Aberdeen yesterday. I went to the checkout, and 'e quine on 'e till greeted me with a cheery welcome...

Fetlock?

Were the supermarkets nagged into taking these products or were they just saddled with them?

**Beat Bug** · 08-Feb-13, 01:11

I'm just thankful I don't buy ready meals! And I make my own burgers!

**Phill** · 08-Feb-13, 01:23

I hope you don't make them on the hoof!

(I assume they are 100% horsemeat)

Meat is meat. If pigs, cows, sheep etc. are good enough to eat then why not horse?

You're right Flynn but this is a trades description issue. It's surely illegal to promote/advertise something as one thing and then process and package it as something entirely different? Sounds a bit like daylight robbery to me.
