"Sniff" personally I think they should be DNA testing all these mechanically recovered meats imported into the UK from Europe, I honestly and seriously believe tha sooner or later it will come out that their is just about every type of " meat" being sold as beef probably including goat, pig, human, dog, cat, etc EG why did tesco sell a packet of sausages yesterday with a human tooth in it !!!

I'm not bloody joking now, I used to make quips about Soylent Green, I'm not laughing any more

In Latvia or Estonia some poor sod found a birds beak in his mince !!!

I like my meat from a local farm near Hartlepool nuclear power station, Prime slice of flipper and gill of aberdeen angus MMmmmm

They made margarine to fatten up turkeys, but it kept killing them, so they marketed it to people instead!

Adulteration of processed foodstuffs has gone on for centuries, millers used to bulk out their flour pretty much like drug dealers do to their various powders that stupid people keep putting in their bodies. I also believe in France that butchers have to sell rabbits (skinned ones) with their kidneys still in as skinned rabbits and cats look almost identical except for the position of their kidneys. The term "pig in a poke" comes from buying what a person thought was a piglet in a sack only to find, on opening, it was actually a cat or dog

When eldon square had the underground bus station I know a lad who found shoelace in his donner kebab. Price of meat, tax ect Does make you wonder how many people cut corners and get cheap meat. Me mates dad used to get sheep from the pub, the "butcher" would drive around peoples fields till he hit something, butcher it in his bath then flog it to order

well, how about that?
as it is clears romanian abattoir sold the horse meat to the french food producer as ordered. french company knew about the difference in price between horse meat and beef.

i know in some countries it is moral tabu to eat horse meat. same as dog meat or any house pet meat.

i live in estonia and eating the horse meat is not the tabu here.
of course, you are not going to get some horse meat steak in any restaurant here, and you are not going to be able to purchase the horse meat in the supermarket.
but you are most certainly going to find the horse meat in the local smoked sausages in small proportions. it is normal for our region for the centuries. and of course all butchered animals are inspected as the traditional "usual" meat animals.

funny how previously rich people in ireland for whom the horse has been the singe of status started to send their horses to the abattoirs. and for example in sweden there are about 100 000 horses unaccounted for since 2000!

i'm sure there are lot of countries now where the rat meat is sort of delicacy. i wouldn't eat it now for sure, but who know what happen in ten or so years?
