Nope. That one was solved about two years back. The IRA admitted they shot him after about three days because he was uncontrollable and vicious.

Was solved a lot longer ago than that, met one of the guys who was loosely involved and so has at least one more member on here who told us all about it, and this was best part of 10 years ago.

When I say solved I meant that the Provos officially admitted it to the Plod rather than some stuff told by some guy in a pub.

If all the supermarkets are involved then horse meat eating could be at a grand national level.

Don't know about horse meat but I had some Korean meat balls the other day and they were the dogs bollocks

Both, obviously.

29% horse DNA? No problem.

I'm more worried about the percentage of jockey DNA.

Forget the horse meat burgers this is far more worrying

Horse meat is actually quite good, similar to moose meat and mule meat.
One of my favorite German delicacies is mule sausage.

Now if they were grinding up useless people and making sausages that would be a cause for modest concern.

anyone who buys those shitty patties (any faecal matter discovered) has no taste whatsoever and it should make no difference to their eating habits

The meat within is the worst quality and the worst portion of the animals

I went to a Tescos Cafe today and the woman behind the counter asked me if I wanted anything on my burger,

I said 5 Pounds each way please.

Bit of horse trading going on here.
Now about those Japanese overstocking of whale meat....

**blue** · 18-01-2013, 02:05 AM

I think someone may be sending me death threats.

Woke up this morning with a Tesco burger on my pillow.

you think it's safe to go back

LONDON — Burger King has ditched an Irish supplier of beef that is at the centre of a food scare after horse meat was discovered in beefburgers sold in Britain and Ireland, where it is deemed to be a taboo.

The US fast-food giant said Wednesday it has decided to replace all Silvercrest beef products in Britain and Ireland with those from another supplier.

“This is a voluntary and precautionary measure,” Burger King said in a statement.

“We are working diligently to identify suppliers that can produce 100 percent pure Irish and British beef products that meet our high quality standards.”

It added: “We take this matter seriously and will continue with our investigations to determine how this situation occurred and what lessons can be learned.”

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) had last week revealed that up to 29 percent of the meat content of some beefburgers was in fact horse, while they also found pig DNA.

The frozen burgers were on sale in high-street supermarket chains Tesco and Iceland in both Britain and Ireland, and in Irish branches of Lidl, Aldi and Dunnes Stores. Tesco is Britain’s biggest retailer.

The FSAI said the burgers had been made at two processing plants in Ireland and one in northern England.

Simon Coveney, Ireland’s agriculture and food minister, said the source of the problem appeared to be products imported from the Netherlands and Spain.

Horse meat is a common sight in central Asia, China, Latin America and parts of Europe.

Horse meat is served raw here in Japan.

Very tasty!

**Takeovers** · 29-01-2013, 09:45 PM

I heard a documentary on BBC about this case. I believe them and I can therefore assure you there was no horse meat in those burgers.

The horse DNA found came from fillers used during production. Fillers are industrial products, derived from fat residues and scraped from bones using tools that could not be cut using traditional slaughtering methods.
