Horse meat was used all the time up until after the wars. Im not too bothered really. Probably see worse than horse meat in donner kebabs.

Horse meat is a delicacy in Italy. I tasted it and thought it was good. Horse meat has a slightly sweet taste reminiscent of a combination of beef and venison. Here in Norway it is quite common in cured sausages.:geek:

Horse taste good to me, I cant say that I would care to much.

I do not know what it's called in English but it is salted and dried and sometimes smoked sausages containing horse meat and is an old tradition. :geek:

If you're up in the north east you might know the folklore about "Racers" - baps with meat supposedly from the losing horses at the local race meetings....

And I've had horse steaks in Belgium, barbecued. Needs to be marinated, like venison, but absolutely lean, no fat and very tasty.

And also horse sausages in France, pretty spicy but tasty too. The Brit aversion to it is just one of those things. I blame the film of war horse.....

I've always wanted to try horse meat (of course, maybe I have already). I'm all for eating various animals (if we weren't supposed to eat'em why are they made of meat) I'd just prefer to know when I'm eating them.

Having once spent a morning observing the production of Morrison's 'Steak and Ale Pies' (well that is what it says on the label), I can only express surprise that anyone in seach of food would buy any pre-cooked meal marketed by supermarkets, and then eat it; lasagne may not be the easiest pasta dish to make, but there are so many healthier alternatives which are, on balance, cheaper than the muck wrapped in pastry masquerading as food.

I would have no problem eating horse meat provided it was served to me as such. I do think it's foul to serve meat that is marketed as another. Makes one question the standards that are in place for the meat to be mixed together in such fashion. Japan has a horrible history of serving people dolphin and whale meat marketed as other seafood and it's extremely harmful due to the high mercury content in these forms of aquatic life.

This is solely about profit. These companies don't give a shit about any of us.
Stopped eating meat/fish a good few years back now with this being among one of the reasons why. No one knows what they're actually eating when dealing with these kind of giant 'food' companies.

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!

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...

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.

Yep. If you're in the US, try to find organic beef if at all possible. Too much of the alternative and you'll end up growing tits.

Oh, wait a minute.....

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.

That's exactly what it is, these big corps most of them sit in par-lie-ment and are in kahoots with the government. Shares in companies,land,oil and farming.
You're right one rule for them , one rule for the local shop owner/business.

a) does this also apply to the Jews?
b) Surely chemical interference in food is precisely what we don't want...?
c) why not go straight to Soylent Green, there is plenty of the raw material around...
