All over the news today that they've been found to have (some) horse meat in.
Anyone else wondering what the fuss is about? It's not like its minced children... Horse is eaten in lots of countries.

only problem i see is that if they are sold as beef burgers they should contain only beef.
but the way they are going on "some people may still have them in thier freezer" is like they are contanimated
horse meat tastes fine to me though, similar to zebra.

Sounds unlikely, but I guess if somebody had some kind of Horse meat allergy it could be quite serious 
We had horse burgers before though, they were fine!

They don't seem to be being open about what products are affected?

Value burgers, salami, beef curry pie, lasagne. All have either horse or pig content.

The fuss is because the factory that makes the burgers doesn't make any horse products So how the hell has horse DNA got in to their burgers when theirs supposedly no horse meat on their premises

The thing is, cheaper meat has a massive fat content, you end up with less meat after you've drained it off.
I always buy the leanest meat I can, I'm fat enough already.

You should be making your own burgers. Piss easy, you know what's in them and much fresher, tastier and healthier.
