Horse Meat found in Tesco Beefburgers

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

What's wrong with horsemeat?

It's really chewy.

 

[Firky]

For inspectors to be able to find horse meat in burgers, when they probably only tested a sample, suggests that it is probably rife. I will stick to my Aberdeen Angus I think.

Buy burgers from the butchers, they make them themselves. Or make your own.

Yes but you also find you're sister attractive

So you track history of being a wrongun must be brought into consideration..

But I can correctly use "your" and "you're"!

Only if it is cooked wrong. It is a very lean meat so should not be overcooked.

never trust a butcher, i learnt that from experience.

i buy a microwave burger from aldi for my dinner every day at work. 79p each and iirc 85% beef - always wondered what the rest of it was

As I type thing I am eating 1/2 a pound of wildboar.

Least that is what the butcher told me it was. Binka has me worried.

Nothing wrong with it, just that its not considered fit for human consumption under current UK food regs, so any producer using it will likely be playing fast & loose with the food/food safety regs in all sorts of other ways.

And yes, the FSA has been a little bit exercised over the potential for horse meat in certain imported products like salamis & other cured sausage which traditionally can use horsemeat as an ingredient in their home markets but IIRC, the problem has got less in recent years as yhe UK market for imported meat products has grown to the point where most major producers now find it worthwhile to maintain UK-specific lines that are compliant with our regs.

Quite disappointed in Urban, only a handful of puns so far.

Alright, no need to nag.

 

[IC3D]

They better rein this in or people will hoof it to Aldi

I tried one, and I'm sure it made me ill. In no time flat, I was feeling a little hoarse.

My local good butcher got taken over by my local not-so-good butcher so now I don't have any local butchers that I trust more than Waitrose
