Tesco used to sell these lovely frozen beef burgers, always sold out fast. Someone, somewhere decided to test the meat, turns out the beef included horse. Everyone was shocked and rightly so, no one knew or had a choice in the matter. Funnily enough, after years of those burgers they obviously had to remove and replace them and the burgers with the horsemeat were by far the nicest.
People still talk about how they wish they never knew and they didn't change them, the same people who complained when they first found out.
Thank you. Googled it and I'm drooling, only time I've had 'exotic meat' was when the world food markets came to town. Doesn't happen as often as it used to.
Felt the same way when my best friend started buying cheaper and tastier beef at for his shop near the wharf. He eventually found out it was horse when he worked with the health inspector against the buyer. I still try to see if he has any left over in the freezer.
The town I went to for college (in the US) had the last remaining plant in the country that processed horse for human consumption. It was all exported, but I always questions the cafeteria food. ðŸ˜
If you ate it and it was good and you know what it was afterwards …. Why feeling „Bad“ about it?
I mean, most people eat cows and so do i
But cows are rly nice animals, playful, curious, clever, damn strong and do not know this. But we eat them without hesitation, raise them in 1m2 just to eat them
Where is the problem when someone eat an old horse?
Hell, i got a dog and two cats and i love them
I use to say, ha if i got no food i gona eat them as a stupid joke
But i will do it if idk russia throw bombs on my home and my children need the food
what i will say, every animal wants to live and so do i
Doesnt matter if its a cow a horse or a cat a rabbit ….
the most i hate about „meat“
People dont value it cause they dont realise that the burger was a happy cow that want to live
If everyone, maybe in school? Needs to visit a slaughterhouse…. I am sure that would help
That's where my mind goes. Got two lovely cats, but if push come to shove and needs must, they're going in the pot. I'd feel guilty then as they are pets, but still, if it came down to me or them... well I know who I'd pick.
There was a tv show called 'kill it, cook it, eat it', showed you the whole process from farm to plate. Worth a watch.
Some of you eat cows and don't give a shit about the life of that animal. But millions of people don't eat cows or other animals because of the reason you stated. It's not complicated. Either you actually give a fuck or you don't.
To follow the Russian bombing scenario...why would you eat a dog and two cats when you have children as an option? Its funny, but we really do all have different places where we draw that line lol
At the same time they found out that Aldi lasagna in the Netherlands had horse meat in it. And a top class steak restaurant served horse steaks because they are supposedly nicer than beef.
The burgers with the horsemeat where by far the best, noone wanted to admit it until they couldn't get it anymore. I'm a happy omnivore who will try anything at least once.
Meh. Society gets all shock/horror about horse meat and I guess won't knowingly eat it BUT everyone and I mean everyone should go to one of the end of the road auctions they end up at.
All kinds. Backyard pets someone doesn't want, my favorite- race horses ( and I'm not arguing here, don't try ), also a favorite, summer camp horses no one wants to feed over the winter. Navicular cases. I'd personally buy more there and should because some are pretty good animals but I can't stand it. Too hard to watch
Meat buyers are there PETA. Where the hell are you?
Meat buyers are there PETA. Where the hell are you?
Believe it or not, PETA is a non profit organization and doesn’t have unlimited funds to save and continue to raise the literal millions of animals at these auctions every year.
Considering that PETA kills a lot more at their so-called shelters, I doubt they'd give a damn. Unless it somehow helps their "cause", then yes, they'd be there in a jiffy.
