Personally I am not keen on the idea of eating horsemeat under any circumstances. However, I know some people who have said if it is meat, they will eat as why should you differentiate between horse, beef, lamb or pork (so long as you know that is what you are eating). In some countries they eat dogs - it doesn't mean we should!

With all these products taken off the shelves, you do wonder what they are going to do with them - it would be criminal to destroy them if there is nothing wrong with them apart from being/containing horsemeat - perhaps they could relabel and ship to France or other countries where they are happy to eat horse? I doubt we are likely to see horse appearing on the shelves in mainstream retailers in the UK?

I still cannot see that this isn't a food safety issue - if they did not know there was horsemeat in them, I am not sure how they can confidently assure us that other things may not have been added or further contamination.

Its all down or generally to where/how you were brought up.

I have no intention of eating snails,whales,dogs etc but different countries do.
I quite happily eat pig and some religions dont.

Takes all sorts we are all different look at DM



Give it time they already have world foods sections

Whilst we're on the subject of poo..... I recently found out that some of the muck spreading in our area is done using human waste. It made me feel queezy at first but I suppose it's not really any different to animal poo.

Also, I wonder how many times a glass of water I'm drinking has been drunk before?
