I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about. Yes, i agree with the whole food mislabeling thing. But come on!! if you are prepared to eat a cow, pig or sheep then what makes horses so bloody special? You eat pork and pigs are more intelligent than dogs. besides, horse meat actually taste nicer than beef. i think the whole UK is going batshit over nothing and blowing the whole thing out of all proportion.

I'm with you on this one mp , I can't think why (other than mis labelling ) that eating a horse is any worse than eating cat , dog , cow , pig , etc
Strike outs so as not to offend cat and dog lovers , but lets face facts its done in other parts of the world

Within hours of the news that Tesco's 'all beef hamburgers' contained 30% horse meat, these quips hit the internet
There's some cracking good one liners in amongst this lot!
“I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse..... I guess Tesco just listened!
Anyone want a burger from Tesco? Yay or neigh?
Not entirely sure how Tesco are going to get over this hurdle.
Waitress in Tesco asked if I wanted anything on my Burger.
So I had £5 each way!
Had some burgers from Tesco for my tea last night ...
I still have a bit between my teeth.
A woman has been taken into hospital after eating horse meat burgers from Tesco.
Her condition is said to be stable.
Tesco are now testing all their vegetarian burgers for traces of unicorn
"I've just checked the Tesco burgers in my freezer ... AND THEY'RE OFF"
Tesco now forced to deny presence of zebra in burgers,
as shoppers confuse barcodes for serving suggestions.
Said to the missus, These Tesco burgers give me the trots....
"To beef or not to beef, that is equestrian".....
A cow walks into a bar.
Barman says, "Why the long face?"
Cow says "Illegal ingredients, coming over here stealing our jobs!"
I hear the smaller version of those Tesco burgers make great horse d'oeuvres.
These Tesco burger jokes are going on a bit....
Talk about flogging a dead horse!

I'm pretty much with you as well MP . . . although I think some of the concern here is if the horses have been injected with a veterinary drug which can be harmful to humans. In various wars, famines down the centuries it wasn't uncommon for soldiers and the like to slaughter their horses for food. Not that I eat red meat anyway, but I'm sure if I were starving my morals might be slightly different.

I only started the thread as laugh, just a little light hearted fun. Personally I wouldn’t eat horse if given the choice, I think the point is, people where not given that choice in fact they where clearly misled, and sadly it’s the poorest section of the community who have probably been affected the most.
I also think that the only people who are blowing all this up out of proportion are the press. I think personally it’s all about greed profits I would hold the supermarkets to account if anybody, for not auditing there suppliers and for not checking and testing there own products.
