Hamburgers

[Derek H]

If you don't want to risk Tesco's hamburgers  try their meatballs - they're the dog's bollocks.

Despite all the fuss Tesco says that their beef burger sales are remaining stable.

Tesco horseburgers are nice enough, but I prefer my Lidl Pony.

The vegetarian burgers at Tesco have been found to contain traces of UniQuorn.

Newsnight last night was great, concentrating not on 'How did shergar get into the food chain?' But 'Where can we get horse from and does it taste any good!'

[Leman]

Someone asked me if I'd like a beefburger. I said nay lad, it gives me the trots!

[Fenton]

Can we have a poll


Would you eat horsemeat?

yay or neigh?

I wonder if this is just a British thing, when I used to go to Italy a lot there were always horse meat sellers in the shopping areas, is it the same in France and Spain ?

Well, I never knew hamburgers were used as hors-d'oevres. You learn something every day!

@Fenton: Horse-meat sausages ('Peerdeworst') is a local delicacy here in Groningen/Netherlands. But definitely not liked by everybody!

I'm quite a fan of horsemeat, but what worries me is what is in this stuff above?

Horse-eater here.

'Worst' is just Dutch for sausage, but luckily the pronounciation is quite different!

[FierceKitty]

Have eaten horse. It was alarmingly tasty.

Eating horse wouldn't bother me in the slightest, we were on the look out for it last year in Paris actually.  I've had crocodile and kangaroo before, and they were fine.

[Malbork]

Here in Luxembourg, horse is readily available in many restaurants and I have to say I like it.

I never order it when I'm out with my wife as she has certain scruples, but once in a while yum yum

Whether you like or eat horse is not the point. The sad fact is that you bought BEEF burgers and not horse.

BTW horse is much healthier has less medicine in it and also more expensive than beef. I see Tesco filing against their clients demanding compensation....

In general I would agree that a horse is going to have fewer drugs in its system....But if Mrs Techno's second horse had found its way into the food chain..... after it was collected by the knackerman...... that could have made a number of folk fairly ill, because of the vast quantities of a particular type of painkiller he'd taken in his dotage.
Fine for gee-gees....Poisonous to people.
