' Horse Lasagne' Sparks New British Food Scare

[transam]

Wonder if they had names?

Yeh, Findus.

[FritsSikkink]

[Songhua]

I wonder if there are small portions, more like a horse d`oeuvre?

Sea Biscuits.

[PoorSucker]

I'll have an order of Lasagna Boloneighs, please.

This looks like a `mane` course

Regarding the photoshoped frozen food package.

That is OH SO WRONG!

Even my Russian wife went ewe...

Kiwi wife, surely?

Six French supermarket chains - Carrefour, Monoprix, Auchan, Casino, Cora and Picard - have also withdrawn ready-meals made by Findus and Comigel.

And guess who owns the Big C chain here in Thailand? - Casino! Be careful what you buy!

Tesco UK and Burger king UK also sold horse meat, and are now apologizing and saying "they didn't know".

I don't really understand the commotion, if it is meat going through the regular channels there is nothing wrong with it.

When I was younger there were special butcher shops for horses and they only sold horse meat related products, it was normal. Nothing wrong with it, and it tasted good. It never gave me the trots....

acording to bbc news most off the meat came from poland who have past a bill to ban horse drawn carts off the roads,so as long as they had a yearly m.o.t.the meat should be ok.crimminal gangs w.t.f.only fools and horses.hi.oh.silver.

It's sold has beef, that's what is wrong.

Bubble and Squeak, Toad in the Hole, Spotted Dick, Bangers and Mash and Hormonally Enhance Horse ... hard to choose which is most likely to cause an adverse reaction. Fortunately the British aren't known for obsessing about hygiene, personal or in food prep, so their stomachs probably have an innate immunity to things like veterinary meds & equine diseases anyway.

This is the same country that brought us the ever popular Bovine spongiform encephalopathy or at least kept it in the news.

another brit knocking post, that helped with the quality of the thread, - I think not

the thread is about companies contaiminating products, not national menus enjoyed by millions over decades

but wait.

[maturebrit]

why all the fuss? not uncommon.... the French and Belgians have been eating horses for a long long time.....

[transam]

Because the package doesn't state ''Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Horse Burgers'' or

''Race Horse Pie'' or ''Donkey Curry''.

PS. Was joking about the Donkey but just read it's true.

Surprised none of the Brits have hit the stirrups on this one one in yet:

My kingdom for a horse lasagna!

Deliver it to the parking lot, please.

[bendejo]

Avoid the Donkey Curry or you'll be making an ass of yourself.

[Jingthing]

A horse, a donkey, a Welshman, and Joe Biden entered a pub and ordered lasagna ...

[transam]

Avoid the Donkey Curry or you'll be making an ass of yourself.

Many times here, without the Donkey's help.

Enough of all this neigh saying!

When I was a nipper, mother would buy dog biscuits for our hounds as a treat; but sadly they only ever saw half their portions as I would liberate approx 50%. They were very tasty and composed of horse meat.

I still remember our dogs' sad eyes looking up at me, quizzically cocking their heads, their eyes moved from the packet to my mouth and back again.

Still I got the bad karma in the end when my teeth fell out!

Jealousy, probably.

Thats right....I bet some beef is a lot tougher than any little shetland pony might be.

But the issue is little Sally at the Pony Club having a breakdown over eating 'trigger'...whom she had just sold to a kindly old man in a white coat the week before....and she just come back from macDonalds.
