Gardian Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Mmmmm - yum, yum.In truth, there's probably more nutrition in the horse bits than in the 'filler' that goes in to some of these products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I heard a report that the horse wasn't actually in the meat but in the filler ! Apparently there was pork too.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybanana Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Very nice. I understand that the Brits were a little perturbed because they found some in burghers - bloody stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frederick Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It seems some were lucky enough to get a third of their burger made up from horse meat. .

Chris Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My team served me cheval steak years ago when we were in France (unknown to me). I knew something was up when I was served first at the BBQ... I then thought 'this is nice'. Good stuff, cheval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ceour de Lion II Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I hope these bad jokes don't go on furlong.I guess Tescos will have to raise the price of this product seeing as it has more expensive horse DNA in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyh4 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I think it will take a bit more than that Ebaynut - unless they now have a way for cows (female) to inseminate a horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
