Having always to check what is in list of ingredients in food products this is even more worrying, that they have put things in which are not listed!!
Not a question of whether one likes horse meat or not but of being deceived, when it could be something dangerous or non acceptable to consumers, makes you wonder what other things are randomly put into packaged meals, I always avoid buying them anyway, and cook from basic food items. Suppliers and manufacturers need big profits ............ It only needs one or two unscrupulous people ........ Tesco apparently don't know what they are selling !

There is the issue that some religions do not eat pork and now they find out they may well have been.

Beefburgers are best made at home: you can choose prime mincemeat at the butchers and see what the butcher is serving you. There's no risk that way of fat, lard, ox-tongue and pig-ears landing on your plate.

For once, I do agree with you Alex. Better still with your own mincer you can mince steak.... egg to bind and some onion added.......

I'm afraid I only use this forum on my phone so can't upload it. However, if anyone has seen it online a very funny picture of a horse on the self check out with the slogan 'unexpected item in baggage area'! Did make me chuckle!
Ps. If Tesco are playing this game I hate to think what used to be in the Netto value burgers!!!!

Helen, you ought to read between the lines of these latest articles coming out of the super markets... I mean the Press:
traces of horse and pig DNA. Not pig meat, mind!
DNA can mean anything from a pig's ear to its tail.
Now back to my bag of Scottish oats...

I worry more about
Doner Kebabs than I do about burgers.

doner kebabs were really nice when they were first introduced into the country but most are quite disgusting nowadays, bits of bone in most of them.

If you read the link in my post 33, you will find near the bottom a report of a dog microchip having been found in a doner kebab. Another thing that puts me off them is that the owners and staff of the kebab shops won't touch the 'dead man's leg' themselves.

I enjoy a good horsesteak when in France, but if I bought a supermarket beefburger it should contain what it says on the tin.
Peter's burgers sound scrumptious Mmmmm

Time to fight back against the ubiquitous fast food outlet?
I note that Chatham's Age Concern runs cookery workshops...
http://www.medway.gov.uk/communityandliving/voluntaryorganisations/olderpeople/ageconcernchatham.aspx
...what a pity mixed age groups cookery workshops are not on offer? Perhaps such a thing could be attempted in some/every old folks home kitchen. Help with volunteering, shared learning across the generations, and perhaps help young folk gain the confidence to source and prepare cost effective ingredients?

Friends of mine used to live opposite a kebab "restaurant". Every night the "meat" was removed from the counter and placed upon the floor for who knows what to feast upon. Next day it would reheated ready for opening time. I have never eaten a doner kebab and probably never will.
