Burgers

[PompeyBob]

Went into Tesco's yesterday for some burgers asked if they had any horse ones left and was told Neigh!! and to stop foaling around.

I asked my husband what he wanted on his burger, he said "£5 each way"

Tescos will never live this down, makes one wonder what else we eat. I never buy chicken, meat from a supermarket only from a local butcher.

I'm on a consumer panel that is run by Tesco. They sent out an invite to do a survey that started off with some random questions but then got into 'have you heard about the burgers' and 'which supermarket chains are affected' then 'did you know that Tesco have published an apology', along with several other related questions about 'will this change your view of Tesco as a responsible retailer' and so on.

To be honest, the inclusion of horse meat does not worry me too much as long as it was uncontaminated, as most of the raw meat going into these processing plants is. Anyone who's ever followed the story of how they make burgers, sausages, pies and so on will know that all sorts of bits of the animal are used. Unless it states it is 100% a certain cut of meat then they are free to add all sorts to the mix.

Best to stop thinking about it and get on with eating the burgers. I've no problem with them, although I admit we don't buy any of the particular varieties they've said were affected. Yes, I shop at Tesco and will keep going there, it wasn't their fault directly. Yes, I will buy burgers from time to time.

Blame McDonalds, they started it with their McMuffin the Mule !

I thought that was a sexual offence.

Real meat in a Tesco burger - that's a bonus. Preferable to some of the other unmentionable things that go into them, but worryingly, shouldn't be there, which puts into doubt the whole food processing industry. Personally I wouldn't touch these with the proverbial barge-pole, but each to their own. Every little helps.

Hmm, I can go one better than this - and its absolutely true - when I lived in West London some years ago, a Restaurent near me was, for some months selling "Roast Beef Dinners"

made out of ROAST CAT !! - it was only after a number of owners missing their pet cats contacted the police, that an investigation took place , and by sheer coincidence , the brother of one of the investigating Officers , called into this " Restaurent" for a meal, and who was an Analytical Chemist,by profession. Following tasting this "succulent beef" had his suspicions confirmed, smuggled a piece of this meat home, analylised it, and found it to be - pure CAT ! - needless to say, the Establishment was closed down, the owners and participents of this monumental fraud were imprisioned , and by another sheer coincidence , the property became a PET SHOP! , and amongst the variety of animals available were -you've guessed it - KITTENS ! - life's full of contradictions -don't you think! ............. and before anyone asks - I too had a meal in this "Exotic" restaurent, ( I'll say no more about its nationality, for obvious reasens etc ) ! , and was as sick as a dog when I got home - just wondered - Can one be as "Sick as a Cat too ? !!!
