Horse meat

[EJTH]

If there was ever a time to support our local independent shops and the Saturday market it's now. Don't mind eating horse meat, have had it in France, but when I buy supposedly quality beef that's what I expect to get.

[Loz]

Do you really expect 'supposedly quality beef' in cheap Tesco burgers and Findus frozen lasagne? You're probably lucky to get a chunk of horse.

[EJTH]

Nope I don't eat Tesco burgers or Findus lasagne. BUT this will not be limited to them I reckon. It's all about knowing the farm to fork journey and getting what is says on the label. The pressure the supermarkets are placing on the suppliers will mean that shortcuts will have be taken everywhere. I reckon this is jus the tip of a much bigger iceberg

[northlondoner]

Or tip of the horse

[balanceforlife]

We're very lucky in Dulwich to have a quality butcher and many other local independent businesses who can give us information on exactly where their stock comes from and we should definitely support them. I always urge my clients to buy fresh food rather than processed food, and to by local as often as they can. You have to know what you are putting into your body.

Ready Meals: Just say NO!

[EJTH]

Yep couldn't agree more balanceforlife. Great meat, fish, greengrocers, cheese, organic veg. ED is really lucky to have such great shops.

Ready meals, just say neigh (whinny whinny) http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=QkjN7nGHRYU&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQkjN7nGHRYU&gl=GB

We buy our meat from Kent Veg box (they do meat boxes too)- all farmed in Kent! A large quantity comes from Monkshill School for the deaf. Really good quality and reasonable!

They do fish boxes too, all caught locally.

I agree with EJTH support our local independent shops.

But if you prefer meat there's a good stables on the South Circular.

[Huguenot]

I love the remorseless directory of FB pages - I can see Tom entering into an orgy of page creation, spittle raining on the monitor, fingers battering the keyboard in a blur as he realizes all these empires are up for grabs!

You GO girl! :D

Hahaha

(And there's me thinking Tom was a bloke's name. The worst aspect of this horsemeat thing is the possibility that a drugged racehorse may have entered the foodchain and the people responsible for the horse meat are totally unscrupulous- but they may have done us all a favour in the long run.

[KidKruger]

Fukitt the veggies are out again trying to make everyone be like them.

[woodrot]

not all veggies have an evangelical bent

[Salsaboy]

If we weren't meant to eat animals, why are they made of meat?

[KidKruger]

True Woodrot - which is why it's the evangelical ones that piss people off and therefore cop the grief.

[the-e-dealer]

I will worry when it turns out veggie lasagne contains horse! (Which given the state of the food industry wouldn't entirely surprise me)
