Just back from Tesco, the burger shelves were near empty, apart from the repackaged stuff, now no longer stating 100 % BEEF, but thoroughbred. And yes Reggae Reggae sauce has been replaced by Red Rum.

Conversation in Macdonalds:- I'll have a burger please! Yes Sir, would you like anything on it? Yes please – Five quid each way!
I remember after the war, staying school dinners and the roast beef was always very red. People used to say that it was Whale meat. (It was like chasing a piece of shoe leather around your plate) From growing up a bit in the country I also got to see what horse meat looked like it was deep red also with very yellow looking fat, although I don't recall eating it. My farm house Aunt used to feed it raw her cats
I was on a Norwegian ship as a AB and 90% of the food was fish or fish related. One day the messdeck steward came in the mess with this bloody great tureen full up with large chunks of Braising steak in a beef & tomato sauce, after weeks without meat my eyes were bigger than my belly so I filled my plate, I was really enjoying it when this Spanish AB sitting opposite said "do you know what your eating" "yes" said I "Braising Steak" "no" was the reply "it's Whale Meat". It's was then that I thought it is a bit Oily. "Arghh" I did enjoy it though.
Got my own back, one day he asked me what that yellow paste was that I had bought in Vancover, I said it was a condiment much used in the UK, just spead it liberaly on savoury food, he sniffed it and piled it on. His face was a picture, it was Colemans English Mustard.
Happy Days.;)
As far as I know they are all slaughtered here in Oz, the only live export are sheep, Australian ones that is the Kiwi ones all go to Bondi. LOLQuote:

All tis talk of horse meta in burgers sort of gives a new meaning to the old saying,
'i am so hungry i could eat a horse'.
Government seems to be taking this meat labeling a bit more seriously now they have found pork in halal meat supplied to prisons. They immediately banned the supplier but are keeping quiet about the actual firm no doubt to avoid the place being fire-bombed. One option open to the government may be the early release of Islamic prisoners by way of an apology.:rofl:

As it is a Halal supplier , my guess is that it is a company owned by ******s anyway , so it would be a case of dog eat dog , or is that the Koreans
