Dunno how much the Americans know about this, but it's big news over here... as well as spawning several jokes.

There was an old woman who swallowed a horse... she'd been to Tesco, of course.



Also; guess we now have solved the mystery of what happened to Shergar... O_o

No wonder people are complaining - they're getting porterhorse steak at filly mignon prices.

I just went to the fridge to check on my Tesco burgers.....

And they're off!

Honestly I fail to see the humour here (and the bad jokes are not helping any). This is a SEVERE quality control issue. What if it had been a case of Botulism instead of horse meat? At least in this case it's still edible.

Sorry, but my region just finished up dealing with a major tainted meat issue itself so this doesn't exactly spark jokes to me. Before anyone asks, no I wasn't affected by it as my family and I have been using cuts from an old (now deceased) butcher friend of the family at the time.

There's not any cases of diseased meat; just horsemeat and pork too, I think. Besides, it's the British way to tell jokes about stuff; much more healthy than calling in lawyers and therapists.

There's a woman who was rushed to hospital after eating a Tesco burger... she's said to be stable.

Considering the subject of this thread is "meat from wrong species being sold", I did a double-take when I saw that. Anthrophagia, anyone?

So, if anyone offers me a Tesco burger, I'm supposed to say "Neigh"?

Make Hey! while the sun shines?

Horse meat found in Tesco burgers. Camel toe found in Primark leggings.

Tesco sells horse meat? Gosh, that's colt.
