I hope this means more people will use good quality local butchers instead of supermarkets. At the butchers you can watch them mince the meat in front of you.

My grandmother used to buy butcher's scraps & mince them herself - or get me to do it. She had a child-powered metal mincer that clamped onto the edge of the table, with different internal bits for different grades of mince. It was common household kit back then.

Spong?

Ours was used mainly once a year, to make the Christmas mincemeat.

It looked like this -

Ah, a bit older than ours - ours had a plastic hopper I think. In orange.

Now there are reports that organised crime are behind it all!

I think that the long term effect of this, is that people will start eating horse as horse. It will need a better name though, so as to stop it getting confused with heroin though.

Morrisons have had reservations about this for a long time, and have a sniffer dog at each of their stores. They vary in breed, our local one is a Cocker Spaniel called 'Snuffles'.

well it's all coming out now, organised crime I think that's just a diversion the only criminals are the food industry, supermarkets & the government, I remember a few years ago protesting to stop the government of the day closing down small local abattoirs, we weren't listened to back then, now it's too late. This is what happens to our food when the multinationals get their hands on it, all they're concerned about is profit,.
When we last had pigs, pig feed kept going up & up until it reached 200 quid per tonne, finished pig prices stayed stagnant and when pig prices started to go up in the UK the buyers went abroad where they don't stick to the rules quite as tightly as we do,
I heard our food minister say that we should not ban any imports as this is an EU wide problem, I'm quite sure if the boot was on the other foot France & Germany would have banned our exports last week,

I like my beef to be hung, but not hung like a donkey.

ferret · « **Reply #112 on:** 10 February, 2013, 10:35:37 pm »

that wouldn't be the first time that donkey meat has been in British shops, the supermarkets were stocking smoked sausages containing donkey ages ago.

I've just learned that the French supplier involved in the entire sordid business is called Spanghero. I find this strangely pleasing, and wonder whether Frying Pans are involved

For some reason, Mystery Men springs to mind. Imagine a cross between Mr. Furious and The Shoveler...

I went to see Harry Hill last night.
His view was that the horses were sending a subliminal message via the lasagne packaging.
It wasn't Findus it was "Find us, were in here, please find us"
