My Lidl Pony

[RosieH]

Anyone?

No?

Where are the self-righteous vegetarians? Where are the self-righteous omnis? I'd bought myself some popcorn and everything...

[woodrot]

is this about horse week at Lidl ? The peckham branch had a load of curry combs and hoof polish left unsold after the last horse special

I am a veg but refuse to get involved in the self rightous bickering that invariably ensues with both equally antagonistic trolltastic sides of the discussion. bludz. innit.

[woodrot]

PS like the puntastic title btw

The burger thing?

Really, if I was buying eight 'beef' burgers for less than a pound, I'd be thankful just not to find half a beak and possibly a bit of condom in one of them.

[DJKillaQueen]

I think the title is in poor taste ;)

[northlondoner]

Yes it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Just rein it in . It's no wonder this hasn't made it to the mane section .

I think that's my cab

[DJKillaQueen]

Burgers are a stable diet for some.

[KidKruger]

the venison burgers in william rose are ACE.

[????]

a bit deer though

Given some of the awful practices that go on in the industry, it doesn't really surprise me that a horse or two found their way into the grinder. It certainly doesn't shock me as much as the rotten chickens being bleached, or the rare breed pigs that were butchered alive by thieves.

Actually, I'd have no problem eating horse in theory. In fact if Sainos started selling horse burgers, I'd probably buy some just to try.

[Marmora Man]

I thought the Metro's "Horses for main courses" headline quite good too.

[Loz]

I just checked on a packet of burgers in my fridge... and they're off.

(Shamelessly stolen joke)

[DJKillaQueen]

3-1 on they give you the trots !!!

[Loz]

I did eat one, DJKQ. I'm happy to report that I am in a stable condition.

[maxxi]

Damn - they were my favourites.

[RosieH]

These are most excellent, and I am grateful to you all, though a bit miffed at the lack of "I told you so"s.

The piggy bits seem to have been swept under the carpet rather. Sharif don't like it!

So "100% Beef" is a bit of a porkie?

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Burgers.... I prefer The Queen Elizabeth Stakes.

[Otta]

Excellent work with the title! Although I was pleased to see Lidl wasn't actually involved (unless I've missed something).

Don't really see what all the fuss is about.

I remember when I was in Australia, foolishly saying to my mate "what the f**ks a roo sausage?"

He looked at me (quite understandably) like I was a moron. Then it dawned on me, and I felt reluctant to buy them.

Later that day after a couple of beers by the pool, I barely noticed the difference at the barbie.

[maxxi]

A lot of fuss considering it's a commonly eaten meat - but here I guess you can lead a horse to slaughter but you can't make it beef.

[StraferJack]

It's not the fact that its horse meat

People eat fish. They wouldn't necessarily want it in a beef burger

If the package said horse-cow combo then fair enough. But it's buying 8 thingies for a quid for a random mechanically recovered meat combo that worries..

[uncleglen]

I once found a dog tooth in a chinese meal- I was a bit tipsy so I showed it to all the customers in the restaurant- didn't notice a strange taste or anything-it wasn't Mr Liu's btw

[maxxi]

@ SJ yes I know - I only made the point to crowbar in the awful pun... but maybe you've hit on it - "Random Meat Burgers" Contains 100% Beef &/or Horse &/or Pork &/or Rabbit &/or lamb...etc

[Sue]

Going by the label on Tesco's burgers, it seems they're fairly low in fat, but surprisingly high in Shergar.

Sorry :))

[woodrot]

I think people would be more pissed off with the pig meat in teh burgers than the horse meat i.e about half the population of the world.
