Okay this is the last post on this particular subject. However I justify it’s presence here on the basis that a) it made me laugh and b) it’s about food and, after all, this is a food blog.
Over here (i.e. anywhere between Ireland and Russia) we recently found out we’ve been eating horses when we thought we were eating cows. And it started in Tesco (the UK’s version of Walmart). And in Tesco you get poor-people’s food and not-so-poor-people’s food – either way we’ve all been eating horse shit)…
Yum!

I wonder – Is that why they call them burritos?
I looked that up – now everything makes sense – we’ve been in a long con all these years….
Laughing out of my chair! I love this and needed this today 🙂
Thanks and they keep coming over here
The good news is that it may not have all been horse meat.
There was a report that a lot of donkey meat may have ended up in the supply chain too.
Mmmmmmmmmm, burro !!!
You know I dont think I’d be so bothered about eating equine flesh if I’d known I was eating it – its got more protein and less fat than beef; it’s the lying I don’t appreciate.
That’s how I feel about it too !!!
I’m not a horse expert, but would that Tesco’s ‘value’ be a donkey?
I think you could be right. Ee-yore. Oh whatever donkeys say….
If not to Tesco, where do horses go when it is “time”?
Apparently it costs £500 to cremate a horse – hence the propensity for all those horse lovers out there to sell em on to the knackersd yard – I thought horses ended up as glue and pet food – but if the horses are going into burgers, what’s going into those tins of Whiskers and Pedigree Chum?
Good question. Perhaps cats don’t like horse meat.
I must have missed your former references because I’ve specifically been waiting for *you* to comment on this! Hahaha! So…. vegetarian recipes for a while I take it?
Our butcher is loving it – I asked him what he thought and he said he was just surprised how long it took for people to find out – its been going on for years. Don’t buy pre packages mince is my advice
Hahaha! Tesco’s Finest indeed!
Yes its great over here. We have ‘Finest’ and ‘Taste the Difference’ and ‘The Best’ and so on – all branded to make you part with more cash
We don’t really have an equivalent to that over here. Maybe at Walmart, but the labeling has less to do with grades of quality and more to do with price.
When I see those food labels in your photos, I get very nostalgic though. My favorites were from M&S and Waitrose. It’s great marketing!
