Flower, what are the odds on that happening?
bolt
A bit like in India where the cow is a sacred animal. We see images of starvation and then the camera spans around to see a herd of them.
Surely if you was starving you would eat anything? If I was that hungry I would even eat a flower, but I hear they taste a bit yukky. blink

But there is also the fact that some people bleed cattle rather than killing them.

Here`s a little scenario....
You and your children are starving to death, you've seen thousands of people die around you from malnutrition and then some bloke toting an AK47 comes along and tells you that there are people not so far away who are throwing away food because they have some namby pamby idea about not eating horses.
How would you feel towards the next lot of well fed charity workers that turned up in their nice new 4x4 ?

No problem with eating Horse but I'd like to at least know I was eating it rather than think I'm eating some other meat and aside from that what of the health risks from Bute, not something I particularly want my children to ingest via horsemeat etc.

I dont think Eastenders will be going for much longer, last time we trapped in there it was like a ghost town with it's owner nowhere to be seen, euro high, cheaper UK prices (for now)
But yeah the majority of the pap they sell is the remnants of the bottom of the oak barrels, yuk, specially Dave Wests own 'Dogs bollocks' cor blimey now that is naf , even JP Chenet tastes better *smiling*
I loikes me wine

Not to mention that even the bottle necks are pissed....
Before Chenet became widely available it was an interesting wine, the sediment would sit around the distorted neck as they were ususally stored upside down, twas a sort of ok wine at that point, nowadays it utter rubbish.

I wonder if the above link with the wine 'sold by the treasury' was actually ever sold but instead is stuffed away is some Cabernet (dya like that?) ministers home for show.

Used to be that you couldn't eat beef because it contained beef, now you can't because it doesn't?!
Won't last furlong lol
Forget worrying about horse in your Lasagne
Sure i just found Heather Mills missing leg in one of linda Mcartneys vegeterian sausages !!!
how fickle we are !!
as you travel round the world there isn't an animal meat that's not eaten by one country's population or another
there is a you tube video that shows the pink gunge that makes up most processed foods including burgers now that stuff is disgusting lol

To be honest, this appears to be just another case of journalists scaremongering. I don`t think many people are really that worried about eating horse meat.
I know I`d much rather be eating meat rather than the ground offal, fat and cereals that are the accepted ingredients !
:thumbup:
as my local butcher would say
walls have ears.
i wonder how many butchers have seen a rise in trade since all this has been announced i'll ask mine today

From the little I've seen on the news it was all sourced from a French company who make ready meals for various brands, but the "crisis" may have moved on since then. rolleyes
PS. Where do you get Lebanese sheep from? Do you import them from France? ;)

I have eaten horse knowingly,it is good and I have no problem with eating it. It seams more of us than we thought have done so unknowingly.
The only problem I see is the fact people have been miss-lead by labeling. Solve this problem, go to your local butcher
The issue here seems to be the factory produced ready meal industry, where the definition used for 'beef' is stretched beyond what the majority of the general public would define as 'meat' anyway, never mind beef. (There have been similar scandals over chicken as well in recent years).
This has lead to the buying of meat products on an industrial scale for the price being right and in such quantities that little checks are done as this would eat into the profit margin and the ability to sell at the 'price point' and have a rate of return that either the manufacturers, wholesalers or retailers (usually supermarkets) wish.
One has to also ask where the Food Standards Agency have been on this issue ?
Like Banking, a similar 'light touch' regulatory policy bwhen it coimes to big business ?
Only being seen once the news is out and trying to look good ?
Owen Paterson, the Environment Secretary, has this weekend conceded that the Government is only now considering introducing “random testing” on food products in the wake of the horse meat scandal.
To be honest from reading all the reports, etc. the comments seem to be around the mis-labelling of ready meals and factory produced foodstuffs.
It's worth noting that here in the United Kingdom, the slaughter, preparation and consumption of horses for food is not against the law.
In Belgium horse meat (paardenvlees in Dutch and viande chevaline in French) is highly prized. It is used in steak tartare, whilst horse-sausage is a well-known local specialty in Lokeren with European recognition.
In France, specialized butcher shops (boucheries chevalines) sell horse meat, as do many supermarkets. Faux Fillet is very nice, 1,000s of small places have doing 'steak'/frites on the continent have been doing it for years.
In Germany, horse meat is often used in Sauerbraten, other traditional horse meat dishes include the Swabian Pferderostbraten and Bavarian Rosswurst (horse sausage). In Hungary, horse meat is only used in salami and sausages, usually mixed with pork. Whilst in Italy horse meat is especially popular in Lombardia, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Parma, Apulia and the Islands of Sardinia and Sicily.
There's also a thriving horse meat business in Canada.
