nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted January 17, 2013 all good advertising for a sob story. Horse meat is not going to make anybody sick, indeed its protein rich, slightly sweet, with hardly any fat. It is butchered in this country, indeed here in East Anglia''s abattoirs. Horses that die do not end in horsey heaven, nor should they. BTW. its should be headed ''just spotted in a supermarket near you'' as it was not just this one, but many supermarkets who have taken their burgers off the shelves.I would eat horse burgers, as long as they are marked as such, before I''d touch beef, it is by far the more healthier meat.What all of these supermarkets are guilty of is deception, deceiving customers into believing that they are eating beef that has been raised on GM soya, treated with antibiotics and prone to BSE, and we are very angry about it indeed.....

Joanna Grey 0 Posted January 20, 2013 Such an uproar over the Horse Abattoir, especially the unprofessional act of not killing that horse before the stun wore off yet we consume tons of cattle, lamb and chicken that has not been stunned prior to death without batting an eyelid.

nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted January 21, 2013 One of the problem with horse meat is that various equine medicinal remedies are classed as carcinogens, especially some antibiotics, hence their exclusion from our tables. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,817 Posted January 21, 2013 Could be simply the fact that the British have never really eaten horse?! Similar to the Germans not eating much lamb,or the Scottish not eating anything that hasn''t been deep fried. It''s just not customary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159 Posted January 21, 2013 Agree Herman, it is a matter of public attitude and I for one would not like to sell BBQ''d horse sausicons at Newmarket racecourse, you would not get away alive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,817 Posted January 21, 2013 I''d try it though. Supposed to be a healthier option to beef steak. Got to be really fresh i have heard as it doesn''t keep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has a sweet taste to it and is very yummy, hardly any fat on it I remember. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SHRIMPER 328 Posted January 21, 2013 When I lived and worked in France I ate quite a lot of it. If you were not told you would not know the difference between horse and beef. As a steak with a sauce you cannot tell, or I couldn''t. Same with a casserole, indistinguishable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
