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!'
;D
Someone asked me if I'd like a beefburger. I said nay lad, it gives me the trots!
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?
:D :D
Horse-eater here.

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

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.

I heard Tesco's burgers were low in fat but high in shurgar

And then there is the Viennese specialty of "Pferdeleberkase", which apparently does contain horse meat, but apparently neither liver or cheese!
Mmmmmm!

Just checked my Tesco burgers in the fridge and..... They're off!.
Oh good grief ! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Keep 'em coming !

Tesco did have a go at selling ostrich burgers at one point. Never tried them, though.
Ostrich steak is better than beef any day.
Yeah, but this is Hertfordshire, FK, not the High Veldt. :o
But it's locally sourced in CHESHAM!

There's a llama farm in Tring.
Doesn't alter traditional British conservatism, Lemmey. ;)
Deep fried guinea pig is a national delecacy in Chilie and Peru, no one would do that to mine!
Roasted, with parsnips however...

I think whoever did that could have 'photoshopped' a slightly more impressive thoroughbred for the 'Finest' one though. ;)

I went for a burger the other day.
The man at the counter asked..."Do you want anything on that ?"
I said "Yeah....Fiver each way please." :D
Or have we had that one already ? :P
Cheers - Phil.
Why does Findus use so much cheese sause in their lasagne?
To Mascarpone
Horse d'oeuvres, please.
I bought a burger at Tesco's cafe, the waitress said "would you like anything on it?" I replied "a fiver each way ".
I've had it tough lately working on the meat counter at Tesco's.......it feels like I'm flogging a dead horse!
Tesco are giving treble points on your club card for all burgers and petrol, starting Monday. The deal is called - Only Fuels and Horses.
Tesco say they're out of stock on Burgers but they've got a fresh delivery coming in at 10 to 1.

The most disturbing thing is the fact that Lemmey and I consider the same towns as 'local'
Not from, here, but when I used to commute through... ;)
In some parts of the world a "near neighbour" is anyone living withing 200 miles. :d
But this is the heart of true blue littlest little England, where everyone knows your business and the town is so conservative it doesn't have a Conservative Club, it has a Unionist Club!!
Anyone from further than three miles away is a foreigned!
You need to move here to dormitory-town land, where everyone comes from somewhere else and I only learned my next-door neighbour's name six months ago after living beside him for sixteen years. :(
