[H18sry]

More worrying news from Tesco is that they have found Camel Toes in women's legging's

It really is time to put these offal puns out to stud.

Puns are the mane problem in this thread. They won't continue furlong. It behoofs us all to stop.

I wish people would stop saddling this thread with bad puns.

We go galloping into these things, like a rampant capitalist getting excited at a New market, but really just building up a terrible thirsk.

Point-e-fact, this thread is pun-laden whether the Wetherby be good or bad. If it excites you enough you might get glorious Goodwood But don't show the missus. It'll make her sad. Don' cast 'er in a bad light.

Please, Neigh mare!

I think all this Taunton of pun makers is unnecessary. Wincanton here and it all kicks off.
Mind you, all this contamination of food will drive people away from processed food, and back into more simple fare, liked cooked bread. Better look out my Towcester.

Butchers in Edinburgh are benefiting at least, many of them quoting 10-15% increase in trade on mince and burgers. People buying from a source they can trust rather than being ripped off by supermarkets passing off cheap muck as quality.

[BroxburnHibee]

Finally and hopefully people will learn.......

Stop buying off these rip off merchants and buy local.

As someone that works in a food lab, I can tell you there's quite a few local butchers that sell questionable products like the big guns, albeit on a smaller scale. That's not referring to the current scare but from experience of previous surveys.

I really don't see what the big deal is, people should be worried about all the other ***** that's put into burgers and ready meals. Horse is a decent meat!

Agreed there is no problem with horse meat legitimately entered into the food chain that is fit for human consumption, the problem is with the illegitimate horse meat and the vetinary drugs it may contain. I have grown up as a butchers son and as such have eaten pretty much every meat and offal available. Good local butchers and suppliers can provide provenance of their products.Give me a local reputable butcher any day over the big bully boy supermarkets. I know where all of the meat I consume comes from

There is the potential risk to humans from eating meat with Phenylbutazone in it.

i cant believe we ate that stuff

After the BSE scare every bit of beef is supposed to be traceable back to a farm and even individual animal I thought?

If Findus lasagne has turned out to be 100% dobbin meat how does that work then?

All horses, ponies and donkeys must have a horse passport.
The passport helps:

• make sure horses treated with certain medicines don’t end up as food for people
• prevent the sale of a stolen horse, pony or donkey, as the passport proves its identity

The animal’s rider or keeper must have the passport with them at all times when they’re with the animal, unless it’s in a stable, grazing in a field, or being moved by foot. Owners can take their animals for short rides without one.
You (or the animal’s main keeper) may have to show the passport to a Trading Standards inspector or an animal health officer.

From half watching the news on French tv, my understanding is that the origin of the meat has been traced to Romania via Findus, their suppliers and their subsequent sub contractors.

There are obviously questions to be answered, but it looks to me like the independant control/checking system seems to have worked pretty well in this instance.

As there could be potential risk from eating beef from a dodgy source

As there could be with eating in a restaurant with poor hygiene standards, not really the point though as we are talking about illegitimate horse meat entering the food chain.

We put our trust in things being legal and above board but this seems to be an organised criminal conspiracy passing off horsemeat as something else.
