Obviously I'll eat anything And yet you never see anyone serving koala burgers.

Aside from the whole "would you eat horse meat?" thing, (I wouldn't because they are work animals/pets but that's a personal choice) it's not really relevant. Poster on the first page said it best: "When I buy beef I want it to be made out of cow." I wonder how prevalent this is in the USA? Americans seem to take beef/hamburgers more seriously than Europeans but you never know.

Here in Australia, the authorities are trying to reassure us that there's no chance of us eating a Flickaburger.quote:"Horse meat in NSW is predominantly processed for pet meat. Laws are in place that require all meats processed through knackeries to be stained with a bright blue dye and are prevented from entering the food supply chain. The Authority conducts routine inspections at these premises to assess compliance with staining requirements." http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/fo...1#ixzz2IJjKNNmh Unfortunately, this raises the question of why I've never seen blue pet food.

This must be a nightmare for the companies implicated. I personally don't mind the thought of eating horse, whats the difference between horse and any other meat? My mane concern is if the product tastes good, I dont care if it has horse rear end in a top hat in it or what, I would prefer just not to know. As usual the tabloids are just trying to stirrup controversy. Lets face it though, In this unstable econonmy, there is a serious danger of these companies going under, and the rest of the country will be saddled with the debt.

concerned mom posted:I just checked on the tesco burgers in my freezer, and they're off! First page, but drat did I laugh at this. I seem to remember a big hullabaloo Stateside some years back when it was discovered that there was shark meat in Long John Silver's fish. I don't really understand the conspiracy over this poo poo in the first place. Are there people that take umbrage at eating shark meat? Are those people plentiful enough that they'll hurt your bottom line? The horse meat is... a little more understandable considering the domestic bond, but I have a hard time believing you couldn't be upfront about this while not suffering a consumer revolt. People eat rat droppings and bugs all the time. At least this is meat. Folks are kinda funny about meats. A lot of the fussiness rests in the intelligence of the animal, but then you've just talked yourself out of a lifetime of bacon.

Das Boo posted:First page, but drat did I laugh at this. How odd. Shark (sold as "flake") was one of the most commonly eaten fish here in Australia when I was growing up. It got kind of a bad reputation for a while due to concerns about mercury levels but the major reason for eating it less now is over-fishing of small shark species.

Horse meat is delicious and this whole taboo thing is loving retarded. I can't understand people who are terrified of eating certain animals because they're "pets" but who are perfectly ok with cows and chickens and pigs raised in abhorrent conditions. Either you consider other living beings edible or you don't.

Can't tell a cow from a horse? That's udderly ridiculous. Apparently horse DNA has now been found in some of their starters and desserts. Part of the new "Horses for Courses" range. Edit: Those two weren't stolen, which is why they're so lame.

Also yeah, it's not so much "Ew horse that's gross" it's he implication "If that much cow as actually horse how much healthy cow was actually diseased cow?" This why I make my own burgers with locally sourced meat from my local butcher  From meat he sells. Not from the actual butcher. e: quote:"Whilst there is a plausible explanation for the presence of pig and human DNA in these products due to the fact that meat from different animals is processed in the same meat plants Splicer fucked around with this message at Jan 18, 2013 around 11:40 |

I'd love to be able to just buy any meat without this bullshit "Oh you can't eat that it has a cute face and a name!" thing. What other delicious meats am I missing out on because of that? Tesco need to take advantage of all this free advertising and actually start selling horse burgers, I know I'd buy some.

OtherworldlyInvader posted:Most people don't really care about eating horse, they care about being lied to. Trust is extremely important when you're trusting some one to make the stuff you eat. If they're lying to you about what kind of meat this is, then what else are they lying to you about? If I can't even trust they'll sell me the right species of animal how can I trust that they're following sanitation standards, properly screening animals for disease, safely processing and storing the meat, fairly weighing the product, ect. Leaving aside beep-boop goons most people do care that's why the papers are going apeshit over the horse meat with the pig meat contamination playing a distant second fiddle. Horses are seen as companion animals in the UK & Ireland and eating them would be considered disgusting to most people like eating a delicious puppy.

Wow a lot of people are missing the point here. 1. No one knows where this horse meat came from. That means no one knows how healthy or diseased the horse was that went into it. 2. Horse meat indicates that someone is not keeping good track of what goes into the ground beef. Anything from mad cow beef to filler to floor sweepings could be in there. If the FSAI says it's safe, I suspect that means they know what happened (somebody put horse meat in the wrong box maybe), but want to do more investigating before releasing a statement.

", but I find traces of pig meat in a beef burger to be no more bizarre than those "may contain taces of nuts" labels on chocolate bars. There's a bunch of reasonable explanations as to how some pig meat got into the cow meat in the pig and cow processing plant, but there shouldn't have been a horse anywhere near those plants. This means the implications of the presence of any horse meat, nevermind that much horse meat, on the security of the food supply chain is horrifying. A story that could easily end with "A guy accidentally stuck the wrong label on a box of otherwise multi-step verified healthy ground-up animal bits" is just nowhere near the same level of news as "How the hell did that many horses end up in here in the first place?".

This was an easy mistake to make, really. Cows don't look like cows on film. You have to use horses. Probably a good thing they weren't meant to be horse burgers, else you would probably have been eating a bunch of cats taped together.

Yeah it's less a case of "nuuu I dun wanna eat an animal that I've not been conditioned not to care about since birth" (though there is obviously an element of that with most people. Personally, bacon is alright, but I'll pass on eating kitten) and more a matter of "we're trusting them to supply us with safe food. If they can't even tell the difference between a cow and a horse, how are we supposed to trust them not to get really nasty things in there"

I'm actually curious now whether this really violates any regulations. I know that there's a poo poo-ton of ingredients and additives that you don't have to list on the packaging so long as it isn't above a certain amount. Like, you can have half a gram of bugs per pound of flour. If that's allowed, I wouldn't be surprised if traces of horse meat aren't actually a code violation.

quote:Wow a lot of people are missing the point here. ^^^^^^ This. A slightly more thorough explanation here: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodandd...ealth-risk.html quote:Beefburgers containing horse meat could have been made from “diseased or injured animals” and be unsafe to eat, environmental health experts say. Some veterinary medicines used with horses are also dangerous to humans, particularly those to euthanase horses humanely. In principle, horse is a perfectly acceptable and safe source of meat. But only if you products are clearly labelled and the proper inspection are carried out.

It could be diseased / unfit carcases used to bulk out the beef or it could be price. I read somewhere that horse arses, dicks, offal and other such delicious things are 1/4 the price of equivalent beef arses, dicks and offal delicacies.
