I had a Tesco burger for lunch today and have still got a bit between my teeth.

This seems to me a question of what description only as it would appear no health laws are broken or any others for that matter.

I have looked up my Concise Oxford Dictionary (1990) which gives "beefburger = hamburger" Hamburger is given as a "cake of minced beef".

Looks like a clear breach regarding description, but then how much cream is in ice cream in UK?. Most of the ice cream sold in UK cannot legally be called ice cream in many countries as it is mostly made up of non-dairy products. I am sure there are other examples as well.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.

"He said: “It’s the same with cows that have to be sold within a certain number of months after they’re born. Basically old fat cows that are 30 months old have been put into the food chain because the republicans have the means of getting it in. And a blind eye has been turned to it."








Not sure about republicans /IRA being responsible:rotfl: for this but it does go on ,and is an extremely common practice .The idea that beef can be traced back to the farm is rubbish .Lets say I have a working knowledge off this .

Apparently the horse DNA came from Poland
