  I'm a vegetarian Peter, but if it was just horse meat mixed-in with cow I see no problem. We all may think that a foodstuff that is said to be not fit for human consumption could have the bad bits scraped off, but that could only apply to something that was at one time fit to eat.
  BSE has meant that spine and nerve tissue has to be kept out of the human food chain, but the meat sourced unconventionally could contain much that is not conducive to health. The Chinese had the wizard-wheeze of bulking-out with mica;it added weight and passed muster as protein, not poisonous but not food either.
  Better to dine upon road-kill perhaps.
  
  The trots? One could hope it was Dray Horse and have a ready excuse for stopping at every pub.
