I had horse in Switzerland a couple of years ago. Meaty, but not as tasty as steak by a long shot.

If you've ever had a steak for under a tenner in France, it's horse. ๐Ÿ™‚

Very healthy, apparantly.

Oh, can I be the first?

Moose - yeah, seemed to be a bit like venison but milder. Although it was cooked up with a peppery sauce a little hard to pick out.

Horse is my favourite steak, I worked in the horse eating capital of the world (Vilvoorde) for a few months, got a real taste for it. Wish it was readily available over here.

in curacao , in the worlds largest brothel-- i kid you not they had a turnstyle to get in--happy valley it was called-- went in with a few shipmates as you do..... it was like a butlins, but full of scantily dressed women-- there were food stalls, bars,usual stuff--i asked for what i thought was chicken drumstick--it was big--but it did not taste of chicken--there was some s****ing from the vendor and his mates,i did not finish it, was told later that it was most likely dog , as they used them as a cheap chicken substitute !! this was 1981--

Lol funny I said just a week ago in the Tesco thread about the shit quality of the Irish meat they were buying. it's not even Irish. it's imported from abroad then processesed as Irish. they were likely send lumps of meat packed as beef from ol Carlos. no tractor on the pack no eating. probably all sorts of meat in there.

Yes ate dog, used to get served it in a chicken surprise sandwich in Bosnia ๐Ÿ˜‰ surprise was the sliced egg was the only chicken. Should have realised as there were very little in the way of livestock at the time. Tasted ok tho and I went back.

Used to eat horse lots overseas too no probs, tho I doubt these burgers have much of any meat in them

I've eatn horse in France and it was OK, a little stringy for my liking.

Worst thing I've eaten was crocodile in Africa - now that was disgusting. Like rancid fatty chicken and pork combined.

I had donkey steak in a very s****y restaurant in China. Was good, slightly sweet, and tender.

Tesco's finest equine burgers anyone?

The fact that they think they can get away with putting horse meat in (and have been) makes you wonder what else they feel they've been able to get away with putting in their product.

Who knows what else they've been putting in other products - is this just the tip of the iceberg?

Its disgusting that food manufacturers can get away with this, but on the other hand its reassuring that they did get found out.

Surely it's just a branding SNAFU... In a few months time I'm eagerly anticipating the Grand National BBQ range.

Alternatively if they name them Tesco's Finest Continental Burgers they'll be quids in...
