You Are What You Eat

I am distinctly uncomfortable with this.
"According to the research by the FSAI, one sample of burger goods, Tesco Everyday Value Beef Burgers, showed about 29% horse meat relative to beef content."
I've always considered all of Tesco's meat range to be of quite poor standard in terms of quality and taste, but this caps it all.
Tesco will not be seeing anymore custom from me for a long time.

The Beef or Salmon burgers are actually nice in Ireland. When they've been shipped over to UK though, they're nothing like so tasty.
 
Never really seen the arguement for different types of meat whats the difference between eating a pig and a horse apart from a pigs far more intelligent.:D
 
Anyone believe Tesco didn't know?

I have a Swiss friend who works for Swiss Air and before they decide which foods the serve from Chicken to Yogurt to whatever they are analyzed right down to the last grain of sugar....I haven't eaten a Nestle yogurt since the day I met him ;)

I would have thought if Tesco were are concerned about public safety as they claim would employ food scientists themselves like most major food suppliers do.

My mate and his wife shop there every week can't wait to tell him he's feeding the family horses......He's a nutter and there's good chance he'll be over there like a shot and choke the manager to death:lol:
 
**** it, I buy their burgers and they taste fine. More power to them. (And I ended up having to punch f**k out of some random arsehole the last time I went to Asda so I ain't going there again).

Likewise! I loathe Tescos with a passion and don't go there. I hate the fact that they want to take over every spare bit of land to build yet another store and ruin a perfectly nice town who doesn't want them. My local town is brilliant (OK you have 2 small supermarkets in the form of a Co-op and a franchise run Spar) - we have an award winning butchers (ranked among the top 100 shops on the planet a few years ago!), good deli/grocers as well as chemist, 3 good cafes, 2 excellent gift shops which also sell clothes and a Post Office where you rarely have to queue AND they'll work out all your postcodes for you. I think if they tried to open a Tescos here, they'd get lynched.

You forgot the amazing Indian restaurant :)
 
I've put on nearly a stone on since quitting the fags on Jan 3rd.

Tonight I had a tin of oxtail soup accompanied by blocks of Red Leicester, a couple of sausage rolls, some Tiger Bread, with fizzy pop and two Eccles cakes to finish.

Confession: I robbed SC's gag and posted it as my Facebook update. Response so far is promising.

DJ's gag was too 'in' to use. :D
