Food again!

[Workingman]

Now it is lamb and pork products! It is European wide.

Given the number of cows, pigs and sheep slaughtered on any given day, and the products (supposedly) produced from them, the number of horse carcasses used to replace them must be enormous!

Where do they all come from, what is their provenance? Safe? Who can say?

There is also now concern about organic veg, free range eggs and 'wild' Salmon not being as described on the packet.

Does anyone know for certain what we are actually eating?

Donkey, apparently

Tonight we had some cured pork loin, which I'm pretty sure we'd spot if it was anything else.
In the fridge is a chicken, again, reasonably confident it's not anything else impersonating a chicken.
But in the freezer is some of a bag of frozen mince, and tbh I've not been keen on using it

Do you know what? I actually don't care. We have been told for so long this is bad for you, that is bad for you, oh no forget that, now this is bad for you.

As long as it tastes nice I couldn't give a flying wotsit

I have often joked that the only thing "wild" about the salmon is how cross it must have been at being fished out of its disgusting pond.

Someone somewhere is making big money out of this.
A dead horse is worth less than a dead cow; so if you can pass horse off as beef, how much money are you making?
Similarly pork is cheaper than beef and has been substituted for it; very cheap horse meat has been used as a substitute for very dear lamb in kebabs - someone is raking the cash in here.

To think that this all started apparently by accident. A simple routine check just happened to pick a contaminated batch. One either side might have been perfectly clean and we would never have known. In fact we do not know how long this has been going on. Some sources say August 2010, but it is only a guesstimate.

It gets worse, now it's dog meat!



You can see the little dog's head in the picture...

My daughter thinks that it is a rabbit.
