I think I would rather eat Long Pig, it would taste a lot better and be more tender.Just like roast Pork.

Re: Horse Meat.
Eating horsemeat? Leave that to the French, says PM as he dismisses suggestion by Princess Anne
- David Cameron said he was 'not keen' on the idea of eating horse
- Princess Anne had suggested it earlier this week at a conference
- It was floated as a way to help improve horse welfare

Rob, ref. your post 10. Was waiting with bated breath for further remarks on this South African female you couldn't get your mouth round. Hope your partner doesn't construe this the wrong way. Cheers John Sabourn

Re: Horse Meat.
HI All.
The Royals have changed, they used to say "Let them eat Cake". Now horse meat is good enough for the welfare recipients. I ate horse meat once during the last war, like eating bubble wrap never again,
but in those days they wanted Merchant seamen to wear a yellow arm band when ashore so what's new.
Cheers Des

Re: Horse Meat.
They used to say that those sausages you brought from the street vendors in Antwerp back in the sixties were horsemeat. Coming back in the small hours of the morning and getting frites and a sausage by the cathedral with a big dollop of mayonnaise, set you up for the day, horsemeat or not they were delicious.
To our Canadian friends
Any of you tasted bear steaks. I was given a pack of them by a friend in Prince Rupert when we up there loading timber years ago. He was an avid hunter and had freezers full of meat from animals he had hunted and shot, all legally I might add.
The bear steaks were very nice but needed to be marinated before cooking otherwise they were extremely tough.
