Twenty years plus ago, there was a butcher shop somewhere near the small charity shop in Lordship Lane.


My wife bought some beef mince and when she got it home found that some of it had FUR on it! She took it back and the butcher refused to do anything about it.


I called the council who, really quickly, bought their own mince, had it analysed and found it was rabbit and beef mixture


Butcher was prosecuted but I can't remember the outcome.

Yes - I geddit, the fuss is because they claimed to be all beef and pork is unclean etc. but unless they claimed to be halal burgers I shouldn't think Dalepack need to beef up their security just yet (unintended).


But why not make a 'meat' burger if you're going to sell them for a few pence each? - as long as it's all legal flesh (and listed in the ingredients) where's the harm? We do it with fishcakes. And so what if it's mechanically recovered? Isn't that just making sure one uses as much of an animal as possible? what about 'meat' pies? Do we assume they are all beef? If they contained horse or rabbit or pork would that be wrong?


just askin.

You probably don't buy 8 for a quid though SJ.


I think the humour is probably because most people know that you don't ask too many questions at that price point.


I don't really see the religious guys getting heated up either, mainly because they all like a kickabout on a Sunday too. Religious adherence is selective.


There's a certain amount of trust that this kind of thing gets exposed because the checks are good. This is a demonstration that the system works.


And, waddayaknow, it's the Irish too ;)


Cheap jibe, I know.

Oh Strafer, you're such a killjoy. Puns are never not funny.


And Otta, Lidl was indeed one of the supermarkets with the dodgy horseflesh.


But I remain surprised that no one's bothered about the pigness. Fundamentalists at least - come on, there's gotta be an infidel plot in here somewhere...

For me its just another wake up call as to where some crap food actually comes from. Some (who enjoy mechanically recovered flavoured meats) will be like "meh its just food". Anyone who cares will avoid anyway.


The source is looking more like a meat producer on the continent and that got me thinking about the numbers. Meat sludge from France is shipped to Ireland (by lorry), rusk /spice and crap are added, then they are shipped back to the UK by lorry frozen. And 8 burgers are sold for ?1.


It's almost evil.


Edit: Taking out all that overhead, I reckon each burger has meat with a value of 2 to 4 pence.

Of course nose-to-tail eating where every last piece of the animal is used is deemed oh-kay, as long as it's not mechanically recovered unidentified sludge.

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
