“I agree it is shocking, not just because of the horsemeat but also the pork that these burgers contained, this must be upsetting for the Jewish and Muslim communities.
You know how I hate supermarkets and processed food though and horsemeat is probably one of the least abhorrent ingredients in the burgers, MRM meat is listed as beef pork etc and there are few people that would happily consume it.
Purée an onion add ground beef, pork, or turkey a bit of mustard, a few herbs and seasoning shape, refrigerate and cook, easy and you know what your eating!”

“I agree. If i buy a beefburger I expect it to contain beef. I'm glad you mentioned the pork and i agree, equally shocking to our Jewish & Muslim cousins. This will be a kick in the pants for the supermarket concerned i am sure.”

“I have knowingly eaten horse before and so don't care. It is actually very nice.”

“Sensational,

Why will it be a kick in the pants for Tesco? They didn`t make the burgers, they bought them from the supplier in good faith.

I can`t understand what all the fuss is about. Anyone who is prepared to eat processed burgers with all the rubbish they contain cannot complain when they are found to have horse meat in them. We ate horsemeat in this country regularly until not so long ago.”

“Don't know about horse meat, but meat pies and hot dogs contain really disgusting bits of dead animals.

But what's your problem mimi? It wasn't long ago that you said you'd happily eat dog.”

“I believe it's common practice in other EU countries , but I'm surprised the supplier didn't inform Tesco .”

“they are very low in fact im told, but high in Shegar”

“should of been fat, spoiled a good joke there.”

“Tescos vegie burgers have been found to contain uniquorn...”

“Why do people have this hang-up abot eating horse ? Horse meat is regularly eaten on the continent and can be very tasty. I agree it shouldn't be in burgers that are meant to be beef though.”

“Agree flossy. It's hypocritical to object to using horses but to happily eat lamb, veal and chicken who are between 5 and 7 weeks old when they are slaughtered.

Maybe if people feel so strongly about this they should re-think their whole attitude to what they are happy to eat.”

“Nay Nay Nay Sensational its all a spoof or is that hoof story released by guess who yes Mr Ed Lol no serious totally agree I also was shocked it should not be allowed to happen.”

“Ha, stagchilli, do you admit that there is some fawn/reindeer/gazelle in that stagchilli of yours? You'll have to now buddy!!!!”

“I've written a lovely song...

Horsey horsey don't you stop,
Let your hooves go clippety-clop,
Swish your tail and don't dare drop,
Or you'll end up in a burger at a Tesco shop.

These songs and poems will all be available on the new CD, at branches of ASDA!!”

“mimi -



you are definitely not sensational. Hope this helps.”

“mimi

Maybe not for long eh?”

“Tesco burgers contain more meat than a bush tucker meal , so whats the problem with horse meat ?”

“StagChilli is what you get what it says you get on the tin mind you sure their is a taste of penguin in there maybe its just my taste buds sure I have heard that saying before "you get what it says on the tin" Lol nice poem though like it.”

“Some good could come out of this scandal. If all those people who feed this rubbish to their kids stopped buying burgers, the obesity rate in this country could show a significant drop.”

“flossy

People have very short memories I'm afraid”

“My grandad ate horse steak as a boy but that was back in the day when meat actually was meat. Very nutritious and tasty by all accounts.
I don't think anything included in these burgers will make any difference to the quality.They contain nowt but c**p anyway.”

“I thought it might be worth a call for the CD.....

Ring ring... ... ring ring ... ...
Tesco: "Hello, Tesco St. Stephens.....
Me: "Hello is that Tesco at St. Steve's?"
Tesco: "Yes it is yes, which department please?"
Me: "Beefburgers please"
Tesco: "Putting you through... ... ... ... ... ... ... "Hello butcher's?"
Me: "Hello, you know your burgers......?"
Tesco "Er, .... yes?"
Me "Can I have a pound each way on Quarter Pounder and a two pound win on Three For A Pound please?"
Tesco: "CLICK"
Me "Ha"”

“Tesco burgers are made with a percentage of horse meat , good job all the Yakult drinkers don't stop and think just were that originates .”

“I really hope this fiasco about the Tesco horse meat doesn't last furlong.”

“I checked the ones in my fridge and ....they are off!”

“Stagchilli - very good.
bt masquerading as a new poster - typical.”

“Hardly a new poster. Photo VERY familiar. I'm sure I have seen it somewhere before.”

“...and by the way, I AM Sensational, or why would it say so every time i posted? Tsk.”

“mimi - maybe not for much longer though.”

“Oh em g-plan. Is THAT why you changed your name Sensational? So you could see that word above everything you post? So we have to use it to address you?

Good grief. That's saying a lot about your self esteem. May I suggest some alternatives:-

1) Dullas
2) godno
3) Mouthbreather”

“jenoh

Have you only just realised?

Not like you.”

“If your vegetarian or into cooking I can understand that you make your own - but what is this burger snobbery about?

I enjoy a shop bought burger and shock of horrors I buy mine from tesco and lidl. I bought some Scottish beef burgers the other day and no doubt it had traces of yak, albatross and Moldavian mini pony ... but it was rather nice.

I also blame childhood obesity on the fact that greens pace is not as accessible as it used to be and you cant get on a playing field now cause of the prison fences erected around them. I wouldn't dream of letting my 10 year old in park on his own as we dont bother locking pedophiles up now, we rehabilitate them next to kids play areas .”

“sorry greenspace”

“jenoh, thank you for your comments, all taken on board (and flattering). I called myself 'Sensational' not just because I am but it reminds me of fellow top guy, fantastic Deej and jokesmith and king of the jungle Toby Blackbird. By the way, i think you too are.”

“These geezers on YouTube going round tescos dressed as a horse. Wish I had thought of it. Would have been brilliant for the dvd! Aye.”

“jz

With respect, vegetarians won't be making their own beefburgers :)”

“Apart from vegiterians, you all are 'probably' happy to eat lamb meat, the lively chicken flesh and the odd suckling pig. A lot of noise over a little problem.

The only problem I see is that the packaging should have read, 'Beef & Horse Burger'”

“My sentiments entirely as I said above. I agree, it's not the fact that it's there, more that I'd like to be told. Hence I was shocked and stunned.”

“Tesco have announced they will be sponsoring the Grand National this year and branding it as the Everyday Value Steaks.

Kustard - with respect it should read 'Eyeballs, bottoms ad brains burgers'”

“Under European law
the term "meat" is defined as "skeletal muscle with naturally included or adherent fat and connective tissue" which has not been mechanically stripped from the carcass.

Any meat that has been pressure-blasted from the carcass must be listed separately as MRM (mechanically removed) or MSM (mechanically stripped) meat. MRM meat or paste can in theory be used in economy burgers but has to be listed as a separate ingredient.”

“And is it listed?

And what difference does EU law make if there is horse DNA in the beefburgers which was not listed on the packet?”

“another post bites the dust?”

“It is awful. How can you trust anyone. People have brought those burgers intending them to be beef and they contain horse meat. It is terrible!!”
