Britain's biggest supermarket selling HORSEMEAT burgers!
TWO of Britain’s biggest supermarkets were reeling last night after horsemeat was found in top-selling beefburgers.

Horses for courses ... burgers have been withdrawn
Tesco withdrew all its own-label burgers, including the Finest range, from UK stores.
It came after food inspectors in Ireland discovered one batch of frozen Tesco Everyday Value burgers in which 29 PER CENT of the meat content was horse.
And last night frozen food chain Iceland withdrew two quarter-pounder burger lines from its British and Irish stores “pending further investigation”.

Visiting Belgians must be happy, they love horsemeat there. My Belgie wife used to get hungry everytime we'd drive past horses in a pasture.

The 29% horsemeat is probably the only goodness in those damn burgers!

Horses are large herbivores like cows, the stigma around eating them is stupid.

Re: Britain's biggest supermarket selling HORSEMEAT burgers!
where´s the problem with that at all?

horse doesn´t taste that bad, and better have some old mare´s muscle meat in a burger than
brain/guts/everything except muscle meat from a cow

it might even be healthier as horses are not force-feeded and pumped with steroids and antibiotics to have more meat!

btw, you eat salami?
this used to have donkey meat in it, too.

Re: Britain's biggest supermarket selling HORSEMEAT burgers!
I've heard that horse meat is almost indistinguishable from beef, says my grandfather.
He says that in the 1940's a certain meat supplier was selling "beef" to local butchers at a really low price, and after some time the buyers took him out for a few drinks and got him all f@#ced up, and he spilled the beans, telling them it was horse meat, big mistake on his part.
They took him to a lake in Wildwood Il. and wrapped him in chains and sunk him in the deep end, and the lake was called "Dead mans lake" for many years, it's called Valley Lake now.

horsemeat is said to be stringy though. French troops got sick of it on the retreat out of Russia. They said it was godawful but they did flavor the raw meat with gunpowder.

Wiki is your friend here - just scroll down to "preparations", you´ll find more to consistence and taste there ;)

so: be happy they put horsemeat in your burgers and not waste/rats or anything else.

had crocodile, roo, ostrich, horse (all of these i liked!) and some other weird shit when visiting asia...but can´t name it as i do not really know what i ate at all..

btw, why is some british guy complaining about horse meat, they put beef-kidney-fat in their traditional sweet christmas pudding and eat black pudding (which is sausages made of blood)for breakfast.
(we germans eat some weird shit, too, every nation does).

Horse meat is probably the least of your worries, considering all the brains, bowels, hooves and intestines they grind up in meat these days. And don't forget the antibiotic flavoring.

You have to come to Stralia' for that, mate. They play it in Queensland, in their backyards, when the toads come out.

I'm not into animal cruelty, but cane toads are a pest in Australia and our native animals eat them and die from them because they are toxic, so the more that die the better.

Re: Britain's biggest supermarket selling HORSEMEAT burgers!
What gets me is that it is 29% of the 'meat content' ....

So how much of the actual burger do you think is meat content.. ?

On average meat content in a burger is around 10%.... so around 3% of the burger is Horsemeat.... thats not even a mouthful!!
