So lets throw away billions worth of food because there MIGHT be horsemeat in swedish microwave/heat up lasagna and in IKEAs meatballs No idea how many countries it has affected, seems to be quite a few...

Besides horse meat is pretty expensive, and way more healthy than lots of other meats. So eat and be happy Wink

TBH id be happy getting any meat in a Findus lasagna Troll Face

Yes, but what if you were allergic to horse meat (small percentage of ppl are, but that's not the point), and you buy a product that has horse meat in it, but you think it's beef or pork, and you get anaphylactic shock, and you die. Then it wouldn't be that funny.

Plus we could be grateful it's horse meat, what if it was dog, cat or rat meat? That wouldn't also be funny.

That's why I never buy that preprocessed food. I got to my butcher, I see the meat I want and I pay for it. And then I cook my meal, and know what's in it Wink

AND a lot of horses have been pumped full of various veterinary strength substances for various reasons.. horse antibiotics, steroids etc.. that is stored in the tissue. You don't want to risk children or pregnant women getting that into their systems.

Yeah, they sure used first grade horses as a beef substitute

They most probably used meat of dead ill horses, pumped full of antibiotics and shit, because it is cheaper!

And the main problem is, that it could have been anything! There are serious flaws in the system, the hysteria is totally justified.


Would like to see your face if you had sarah jessica parker looking at you from your nice plate of köttbullar...

What's wrong with horse meat? It's quite possibly the cleanest. We have several horse meat salamis here and I'll be damned if anyone complained. Ever.

Horse meat from a controlled place -> No problem, as long as it is probably declared.

Trying to mix your horse meat into beef and hiding that shit -> Probably not done with the best intentions nor source product ...

This unknown horse meat comes from criminal organisations with no source of origin, what kind of condition it was in and if the meat was tainted or not..

Besides.. If you buy a banana and get an old carrot when you peel the banana you've been cheated. There are rules and laws to protect us from companies being able to sell fake beef, fake pork, fake anything that is actually something else. If you want beef, you should get beef and nothing else, and it should come from certified butchers/companies that are inspected on a regular basis.

If things were different half of Europe would constantly have salmonella outbreaks or parasitical diseases become more common than the cold.

After working in the Scale business for about 3 years. I will NEVER EVER eat any processed meats from big plants. I have literally put a weight on a scale that was probably just used at a rendering plant or something nasty. Then watch the worker proceed to put meat cuttings directly on the scale without sanitizing. Then bag them with sauce and then sterilize. I questioned them about it, and all they said is the final process kills anything. Fucking nasty.

Meh it's just some horsemeat. Sure they should have been honest and told us it was horse meat all along but I personally don't have anything against horse meat, it's pretty good.

Also wouldn't it be funny if it contained pork instead of beef? I guess heads would be rolling then, literally Troll Face

I buy beef and somehow someone fucks up and I get horse meat who knows what else they fucked up on. If they have a system that dubious maybe parts of my meat came off the road from a road kill truck on it's way to the dog food plant.

For anyone who thinks people are making too much a fuss over this, I think you trust too much that the horse you got was meant for human consumption.

but who knows what they grind in that lasagnas, ears, pussies, nails, dicks, testicles, skin, probably everything, they mask that well with E- aditives, so i avoid sausages, pate, and other grinded shit,.

It's being found all over now..

I don't mind horsemeat, as a matter of fact, I love horsemeat, I think it tastes better than beef, more buttery and nutty in the flavour, all parts are tender as fuck, no knife needed.

But, the issue here is the total lack of not knowing if the darn horse wasn't full of medication before they cut it up...

Needless to say, I enoy sausages too, but, I grind the meat myself, or buy it from my local butcher (which you all should support), and I know what goes into them, yes, its internal organs and stuff, but no additives or sprayed from the bone left overs..

Whilst on it, tired of buying the cheapo stuff that starts to boil in your pan? Invest a few days less a week into beef/meat days, and buy properly aged meat, it's a whole different food stuffs compared to what the supermarket sells. Screw that cheap imported frozen brazilian beef, support your local producers, and stuff like this won't happen, since they can get in whole carcasses to cut up and handle, then they know what they are using.

Tonight, I'm having locally produced Wagyu, paid 29.99 Euro for a kilo, that, imho, is money well spent, and every little speck of the piece will be used.. Razz

Oh, and get to know a local hunter, buy meat in season, you can't get better nor probarly much cheaper meat.. I buy moose in fall, 9.99 per kilo, butcher weight (bone in), and get it all cut up, vacuum packed and marked by him, telling you, find a guy like that, and smooch.. Razz

if they can just put donkeys in your hamburger without ANYONE knowing about besides the perpetrators till some random DNA test is done in ireland.... then i dont wanna know what other bullshit lands in our food.

Butcher I once met at a bar told me everyone is nuts for not going to a local butcher to see the meat being cut up in front of his eyes to know whats in it, i thought of it as some punchline to score more customers... guess he wasnt off at all.
