Re: Horsemeat Found in Many Supermarket Products in UK
Had this conversation with my sister yesterday who was outraged at the thought that she and her family could have eaten horse without knowing... Jokingly I opened her freezer to find copious boxes of pre prepared shop bought ready meals..... My response (Which she didn't like) was what do you expect when you buy and feed your family crap!
Any meat thats been through a mincer cannot be good surely!!
Not to sure if I want to see horse meat in packets stacked in the refrigerator shelves of my supermarket however I think that we do have a right to decide.... Personally you won't find Shergar in my basket but each to their oen... Horses for courses and all that!!
We're all guilty of eating the odd doner kebab surely once in a while?.... I find its easier to just not think about it!

Re: Horsemeat Found in Many Supermarket Products in UK
This is a serious point, because it is not just about the deception being carried out, but the question over what chemicals are being used by the producers as well, as most of this processed food contains additives and other chemicals -as well as the source of the horse meat. There are standards for the use of horse as meat on the continent, where people eat it on a regular basis, but I can't imagine the criminal syndicates, if they ar behind this, are concerned about quality; if anything, the horses are probably old nags, but may also be diseased or flea bitten -I mean if it all dies off at a certain temperature does it matter?
It would be a good idea if this reduced meat consumption, too much of the planet's resources is being wasted on livestock -even when I was growing up we ate meat maybe two or three times a week, not every day.
Some years ago I had this discussion with an Italian I knew who couldn't understand why we didn't eat horsemeat -but then he also said donkey meat was tasty, 'they are fussy eaters' he said, meaning it gave an extra dimension to the taste...

Re: Horsemeat Found in Many Supermarket Products in UK
All jnoking aside, the serious point is that it is perfectly obvious that the major supermarket chains appear simply to have no idea what their suppliers are putting into the products that they buy. That's highly irresponsible.
I was having a pint with our local butcher on Saturday lunchtime - I live in a village so I drink with my doctor and dentist as well! - and he made the observation that if he was found to be selling product containing horsemeat he would be shut down instantly by local trading standards, but the supermarkets just carry on with no restrictions.
Maybe the major supermarket chains are the retail equivalent of banks - too big to be allowed to fail.

Re: Horsemeat Found in Many Supermarket Products in UK
Latest development in this scandal is that 60% of the meat in Tesco's Everyday Value [sic] Spaghetti Bolognese is horsemeat, presumably from Ireland via Romania via Corleone Chemicals. If people are so incapable of making their own spagbog, one wonders if they even know how to make a cheese sandwich. Perhaps its time to change one's diet and revive the nuts and berries alternative, if only for Lent.
Ciao.

Re: Horsemeat Found in Many Supermarket Products in UK
Fuck horsemeat, they should stop the Islamic way of slaughtering animals the world over.
Totally inhumane, just to satisfy a religious belief
The sooner we can grow meat in labs the better
