Horse meat in Tesco burgers

[1two]

Ok I'll get this one started

Horse meat is the stable diet in many countries.
It was ate in Britain as recently as the WWII. We shouldn't be blinkered just because culture tells us to be.

I think this is a case of the media trying to Stirrup controversy just to sell papers.

Have I missed any?

I'm going to bale before this gets ridiculous.

Aye. There's neigh mention of what to have on the burgers, like salad dressage.

[lyonhibs]

I can't really see the horsoversy over this to be honest. Horses are just beasts like cows, sheep etc.

Although I'm sure someone will seek to make this into an equinenical matter..............

Surely the only issue is if they are advertised as lamb or beef burgers? I wouldn't have a problem trying horse though.

[Geo_1875]

Shock news. Tesco Value burgers have 29% meat.

No mare Tesco burgers for me if they are fillie horse meat.

Next time they send me my clubcard vouchers I'll be telling them to colt. They can dressage this up however they like but I'm not stallion for it.

I'd imagine dead horse would be very cheap in UK or Ireland, just another way to rip us off. What else might they be putting in food and passing it off as something different?

Frankely, I think you've been Kauto out with a bit of a whoosh moment here.

[IainC]

This explains a lot.

I had these burgers the other day and they gave me the trots.

[cabbageandribs1875]

it was always a nap this would come to light at sometime, i reckon the odds will be quite low on greggs introducing a pony pie in the near future :-( if we all knew exactly what was in a wide range of foodstuffs we would probably boke (especially processed foods)

[blaikie]

Checked my fridge for these foal burgers ... And their off!

[StevesFamau5]

Maybe they were venison burgers - because horsemeat's actually deer.

[Scouse Hibee]

There will be some lame excuse as to why this happened, Tesco and all the others should be told to bolt, I can't see how they can get themselves off the rails with this one.

I hear Tesco's meatballs are the Dogs Bollocks

I was in a Tesco cafe tonight. I ordered a burger and the woman serving said 'What are you having on it?'....

....I said 'a fiver each way'.

Boom Boom! I'm here all week.

[Pretty Boy]

Problems with the veggie burgers as well now, apparently they contain uniquorn.

[HH81]

A bloke has been rushed to hospital after eating tesco burgers -he is said to be in a stable condition

[Glory Lurker]

Who's to blame for this? There should be a national hunt for the culprit.

[Jonnyboy]

The most recent Gallop Poll puts Tesco's ahead of the others in this race.

Scandalous really and I bet Jockey Wilson is birlin' in his grave

Quite surprised to see Tesco come first in The Supermarket Sweep. The handicapper has taken a fence at this result which means he is likely to put extra hurdles in their way to prevent a similar outcome next time.

[Marabou Stork]

I was in Tesco earlier and checked the freezer section for the offending burgers. And they're off.
