    Not sure what the problem is with eating horse meat - maybe we should run a gallop poll to gauge opinion?

    The main problem is horse meat gives you the trots....

    Especially when they're off!

    I think meat eaters are being a bit blinkered about this burger revelation, I bet all these burger jokes fall at the first hurdle. <doh>

    If I spent a pony on it I would think it a trap - but I suppose all this is just shutting the stable door

    Mrs H is always nagging me to try horsemeat. She suggests cooking it in a pie, balled up in small portions and flavoured with bay leaves.

    Morning all, overnight we had some showers of something, but with the shutters firmly pulled in I don't know if it was rain, sleet or snow. The sun is out now, but it was only showing 4C when I went on the bread run. (Actually drive)

    As I was going along I thought how the countryside in Winter has changed. In my youth fields were ploughed and the soil left to be broken down by the weather. Today a crop is harvested and within a week something else sown, so the fields that were brown for several months are all now green.

    Shergar's Bum - anagram of Shamburgers..<yikes>

    On a serious note, there is a public health issue here and I suspect there will be some horrors stories coming out

    Not sure about that as horse meat has been eaten by the Bosch for centuries and they're ok aren't they? This is more about misleading the public and conning those who frequent the Tesco value range.

    I don't like Tesco one bit so it pleases me to see that what goes around comes around. From now on Tesco will be synonymous with the horse burger, lets call it burgergate....

    I think you will find it is the Irish who will end up coming badly out of this as it seems as if most of the contamination originated there - and there are many more supermarkets than Tesco who have been duped. I suspect some less than honest people have supplied the meat trade in Ireland with cheap horse meat when they were supposed to have supplied beef. However many on the Continent eat horse meat by choice so I guess that it will not be a public health issue
