If you lost your money backing them, see it as getting your own back!

Yes, I'm talking about eating horse meat.

I don't know if I have ever eaten horse meat, although I can safely say we have never knowingly bought it.

So what is the problem, the French eat horse meat (lol and no comment from Dave) as a regular thing it seems, so maybe the issue here is that we have been 'sold a pup' or in this case a 'horse'. In reality we Brits have been scammed, ripped off, or conned again so whats new about that?

The supermarket shelves are empty and the enquiry should rightly begin, because somebody somewhere has made a lot of money out of this, whilst literally laughing at us.

I reckon the offending manufacturer should be shut down, with all assets seized as punishment.

What say you members?

As requested by Ron--Horse meat is very tasty if prepared correctly--the only time i have eaten it was as steaks-it is very lean and a bit more dry than beef steak but still very tasty,in fact there used to be quite a few horse meat shops around my area up to the 1950s.

Peggy I wouldn't mind betting it doesn't matter where it comes from to those who are out to make money. It could be anything, an old pit pony, ex racehorse, farm pony because these people aren't bothered. They would have your false teeth away if you opened your mouth long enough!

The problem is (the way I see it anyway) that it may well have been injected with stuff that we don't know about, what then, and what effects are we going to feel later as a result?

The culprits should be skinned alive and um, err..... fed to the cats! lol

Ron says "the French eat horse meat,what is the problem with that"

  The French eat frogs legs and snails and god knows what other things,a few years ago it was disclosed that the French were feeding sewage to cattle,they force feed poultry to swell their livers,I don't think animal welfare comes high on the list of good causes with the French.

  God help us we are depending on 'em for aircraft carriers. 

I remember that too George and agree!

Apples? Well if you want to taste a real English apple look out for the genuine Cox, the Blenheim, or the Russet (if you can find them).

What's coming next in the food taint story? Maybe we will find out that our Chicken meals are a mix of squirrel, rabbit, frogs legs and snails. I can tell you, having eaten them all (here in England George lol) that if asked to describe what they taste like, I would have to say 'Chicken' so how would we know any different?

We'll soon all be growing our own again!

I'm always amazed that people actually cal Golden Delicious an apple, they are so bland and tasteless. Just like the french maybe.

Got beaten AGAIN today in the 6 Nations by Wales.....excellent!!!!!
