It will be interesting to see how long it will take before the supermarkets regain their stated 30% market share loss of the oven-ready meal market.
In the meantime, the local butchers shops seem to be enjoying a goodly-size increase in the uptake of their products.

Tesco are offering double Clubcard points on petrol and burger sales. They're calling the offer "Only fuels and horses".

Has anyone had any beef radish sauce with their horse Sunday roast? 
Personally speaking I have no problem with eating horse provided it has entered the system correctly and is safe to eat. The problem with the horsemeat being found in products at the moment is that its not passed any testing and thats simply not on.
I wouldn't be surprised if when all this is investigated properly that some fault isn't laid at the supermarkets pressurising suppliers to cut costs down to the bone (no pun intended) therefore I will be attempting to buy more meat from local butchers from now on if I cannot be certain of where the supermarket has located their meat from and I think we should all try and do this.

Am I the only one on here who has purchased ( and cooked and eaten some of them ) frozen burgers since all this started?

Well, I did visit Ems restaurant in Luxembourg (once we found where it had moved to) and can report that the cheval steak was very nice. Will certainly be willing to have horse steak again if I find anywhere that does it.

Our local butcher really entered into the spirit of things by keeping humming the tune of...

Let's hope Findus don't have a factory in Somerset or Gloucestershire, otherwise we'll have to start tetsing our lasagnes for badger 
Recently we heard that Ikea withdrew its famous meatballs due to traces of horsemeat. A few days ago the famous hot dogs had the same fate.
Today there has been more new of horsemeat being found in more BirdsEye products, Taco Bell products and in food supplied by Brakes Brothers.
Where will it end?

With beef in products advertised as being horse?
I see them occasionally in Morrison's.
When you look at a situation where a French company was selling ready meals in the UK, having used a Luxembourg-based subsidiary to procure meat from Romania, using a French distributor and a Dutch-owned agency based in Cyprus, it begins to be clear why frozen meat products are often of low quality. Supermarkets are holding prices down, everyone is taking their cut along the way, so the base ingredient has been bought for not very much at all.

In fairness the meatballs are called meatballs, so there is no real problem what goes into them as long as its meat. As for the hot dogs, I'm surprised they are allowed to label them as sausages, not just brown plastic

It would just take a bit of extra punctuation to make the label accurate:
Hot dog's ****.
Do they contain dogs? If not this is as bad as horse in Beef Burgers.
I'm making burgers tonight for tea. Theoretically they should be beef though in light of recent events who knows! They certainly look beef like...
Horse meat looks like beef, it would take an expert to differentiate.
Oh well that certainly makes me feel better :roll:
Dont worry about it really
Horsemeat contains essential amino acids and polyunsaturated fats that help to reduce cholesterol.
Compared with other types of meat, it contains greater quantities of trace elements: calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, copper, magnesium, silicon, zinc and nickel.
It is rich in group B, A, PP and E vitamins
Attached is a picture of horse meat. Having eaten horse in france, it to me was much more tender than beef steak, and didnt dry out on the BBQ like beef steak would!!!

It's not the meat that's the problem.
It's the anti inflammatory drug (phenylbutazone, bute for short) that poorly horses are given for various reasons.
It was declare unsafe for humans a few years ago, and AFAIK it's quite dangerous stuff. Poorly horsey = dead horsey?
Of course, you probably have to eat tons of the stuff before it becomes a problem

have the horses in the food chain been administered this medicine though?

500 infected pure horse burgers a day would be deadly IIRC
But then 500 beef burgers wouldn't do you much good either
Having previous worked for said company, I can only vouch they know where every burger came from, all of their beef was british and they used to take selected employees to visit all their suppliers
I'm not at all. I've had horse a few times in France and it was always absolutely lovely, it's a shame that it's not more common over here!
Next big scandal, beef-free boar burgers containing beef?
McDonalds have been very careful over the past years to choose suppliers, and now with this scandal coming out with competitors it has paid off!
