No wonder those cheap burgers give me the trots. :Erm:

[sars_notd_virus]

I always read the labels in all the cooked ham over the shops ...whats with all those preservatives :yikes: only about 60% meat :doh

[grahamw48]

It's the added water (in Ham) and 'rusk' content (in burgers and sausages) that usually makes them cheap....apart from the pigs nipples, earlobes, brain and testicles. :smile:

[Tawi2]

I never normally eat tesco burgers anyway,tney have a very high shergar content :Erm: but I expect this only relates to those mini-burgers you have as snacks,the horse d'oeuvres. :cwm25:

[grahamw48]

So we won't be reining the thread in before we're just beating a dead horse ? http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/5845/beatdeadhorseq.gif

Tesco have a vegetarian burger range due to be launched......UniQuorn.

[Tawi2]

I Went to Tesco's cafe for lunch today and ordered a burger. The waitress asked if I'd like anything on it, so I asked for a fiver, each way.

[grahamw48]

:icon_lol::xxgrinning--00xx3:

You're lucky you didn't get KICKED out. :biggrin:

[Ako Si Jamie]

These horseburgers sure are whipping up a fuss. But of course they have been around for donkeys years as they're part of my stable diet. I like them good to firm with horse radish sauce washed down with red rum. I buy them by the cart load from a place in Derby.

[grahamw48]

:icon_lol::xxgrinning--00xx3:

Jamie, you really mustn't spend all day thinking these up. :biggrin:

[grahamw48]

....and you think the burgers are dodgy. :cwm24:

[fred]

Tesco's mini burgers have been removed from their finest hors d'oeuvres range, they can now be found under starters orders.

[fred]

I selected burgers on the Tesco web site, then clicked on 'add to cart'.

[fred]

Went into Tesco's cafe today for a cup of tea. They asked if I wanted milk and shergar.

[grahamw48]

Wonder if I can get back all their price increases this past year by suing them for misrepresentation ? :Erm:

I ate the last one for tea today...get the (horse ?) box back out of the bin ? :smile:

[RickyR]

I just can't believe the media frenzie over a little bit of horse. There are probably a lot worse things in them. Here in Oman, the butcher at the supermarket has a burger press, you just select your cut of meat (not pork), and he prepares the burgers for you. Easy.
Frozen £1 mush burgers, urgh.

[grahamw48]

Not just horsemeat either.

...Traces of pork in lots of the burgers.

There must have been lots of muslims hoof been eating those too. :cwm25:

[Terpe]

I think the media were also having a bash at the all powerful supermarkets who have pushed responsibilities onto suppliers.
Maybe the world has changed too much for some. When I had any kind of responsibilities for those products from suppliers I made darn sure that the specifications and requirements demanded were met.

If I buy a product that states 100% british beef, guess what? That's what I expect. I don't expect around 30% to be something else.
The media also picked up on the very high levels of certification and traceability needed for food products and especially British meats. But imported meats from within EU does not. By all reports it seems that the raw unprocessed product came from Spain and Italy.

Perhaps there should be an explanatory note on the packaging that states something to the effect that 100% British Beef may contain up to 30% of other 'stuff' :biggrin:

[grahamw48]

Yeah, it all just goes to show that despite all the (presumably EU) regulations...cheating, corruption and general shistery are alive and well.....as if we hadn't guessed. :icon_rolleyes:

[joebloggs]

Perhaps there should be an explanatory note on the packaging that states something to the effect that 100% British Beef may contain up to 30% of other 'stuff' :biggrin:

a lot of these processed meats, i'm sure the meat content is low like 30% and the rest if not more is reconstituted meat and other :censored:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2175655/So-really-ingredients-really-sausage-Read-eat-frankfurter-again.html

and it wouldn't surprise me if some dog was found in them :doh

[fred]

If I buy a product that states 100% british beef, guess what? That's what I expect. I don't expect around 30% to be something else.

I have not expected that kind of thing for probably 25 years or more in the UK , from British organisations,companies or politicians.

[Terpe]

I have not expected that kind of thing for probably 25 years or more in the UK , from British organisations,companies or politicians.

Overall, with the many issues UK has had with 'foods' over the years, and with all the certifications and traceability put in place, most of us believe British Beef is the safest and best anywhere in the world.

This sort of story does not help, despite the fact that it's not British beef.
Might be British horsemeat though considering the huge quantities we export. :biggrin:
Seems British horsemeat is the tops.
Although it's not traceable as a food as the horses are sold and transported live out of UK for processing. :yikes:

Hahahahaha...this is funny! :icon_lol:
