I reckon they will one day find out that there's horse in them things:D

I've already wondered about this: how do we know that the pork chops we're buying haven't got horsemeat in them? If some of the beef being tested is coming back 1% horse - and thus failing - surely there may be traces (or a little more - e.g. 1%) of horse in pork, chicken, turkey? They're of course only testing "beef" (or what's labelled as being such) as that's where the issue arose. I understand horse meat tastes like "any good steak" (at least according to one BBC Newsnight presenter) of beef. Presumably if there was only 1% of horse in a chicken burger or a lamb chop, for instance, the taste of beef-like horse wouldn't be tasted that strongly?

Hence couldn't any "pork", "chicken", "turkey" or "lamb" - or even - huge scandal of scandals - any "vegetarian no-meat" dish, have traces (or a little more) of horse in it? Probably there's lots of things in lots of foods - and foods crossing into other foods that might for instance all be made in the same factory?

Ive been trying to compile a shopping list for A/T/S and using quidco to my advantage but I have a question.... If for example I buy the dettol spray, you can get 50p cb. T&Cs state "this offer can only be redeemed up to 3 times during the offer period". Does that mean I can buy 3 dettol sprays on one receipt to upload or do i have to buy them in 3 separate transactions (and receipts). I is confused ......

I bought 2 x Dettol Anti-Bacterial Surface Cleanser (500ml) DETTOL - 2 FOR £2 from Asda & it's showing as £1 confirmed on Quidco clicksnap. I bought 2 as it was cheaper than 1 but was only expecting 50p back but it appears to have picked up the 2. Really pleased as it looks like it'll work out as £1 for 2.

Wonder how much of it is actually chicken.

Could be a bit like pork pies, hot dogs etc where they scrape up everything on the floor....

I think we are fine with joints, chops steaks etc. it's the ready made meal market where the problems lie. I make all my own stuff -usually- so not too concerned for myself.

No way-I had a zillion bottles of 2ltr coke and 100 hovis loaves!!! Does it tell you when you have claimed three cokes or does it just reject additional claims? TIA
