Horse-eater - was it tax effective?

[vetran]

mmm fed the kids horse and rabbit in France the other year -- only told them what it was after they had eaten it but it tasted okay..

I suppose the problem is if the animals have not been bred to be food then they may contain contaminents (like Bute although apparentrly it was 600 horse burgers a day to get anywhere near the recomended dose)...

but yes the large food supermarket chains will have been happy as long as the price is kept low and the greedy feckers at the top keep making bonus.

It only takes a spoonful to pass some of the worst diseases.

This product may contain nuts

If the label contains the wording "This product may contain nuts", its a lie. The product contains horse meat or pork scratchings.
A finished product is made up of components "Bill of Material"
Each component has a standard price. If the standard price of beef is £20 a kilo and the standard price of horse is is £15 a kilo and you are ordering 100 tons at a time then the Cost accountant must be a total idiot not to notice a large variance at the end of the accounting period.
