Reply to: Government insists US trade deal won't lower food standards for UK

So are 9 year old females.

Mods?

Islam doesn't promote eating/copulating with/raping 9 year old females. To be clear: some Christian sects in the US also promoted this interpretation of the bible and were clearly wrong. Why don't you consider that of the various types of Islam? We don't see such rape in Malaysia, for example, where Islam is the majority religion.

Unbelievable that you're still in Scotland. Piss off back to your hole.

Ha ha, you are so easily triggered. I said xenophobes will mock the French for eating horse meat, I didn't say the horse meat scandal was OK, or food labelled as beef can be sold as horse.

ooh look at it wriggle I'll pop it on a hook we will catch something nice with it.

Problem was that the horse had been treated with drugs that made it unsuitable for human consumption.

I have no objection to clearly labelled & safe horse meat being on sale in the UK even if it comes from abroad.

Its not Xenophobia its a very reasonable response to food adulteration something the UK has been strict on since the Victorian times.

Ignore Warty he just makes tulip up.

100% agree with you.

I'm still baffled about the horse meat lasagna scandal. Horse meat is so freaking delicious. Donkey meat even better.

The FSA ordered tests to check whether a drug given to horses, bute (phenylbutazone) - which can be dangerous to humans - had illegally entered the human food chain. It found eight horses, killed in the UK, had tested positive for bute and six may have entered the food chain in France. However, the levels detected are said to pose "very little risk to human health".

Isn't most/all scampi reformed?

Yes, the whole and almost whole live langoustine gets sold to France, Spain and Italy, the smashed up tulip gets minced, shaped, battered and sold in the UK.

Hamster and guinea pig should be skewered over hot coals for best effect

I bought an expensive packet of Youngs Scampi, it was crap. I had to read TWO PAGES of small text only to find near the end the words “reformed”.

It's due to something called Labelling.

Let them label it and people can make an informed choice.

Not a fan of horse meat personally, when I tried it in France years ago, but then maybe it's an acquired taste?
Some say the same for Venison, but I do like that...

Yum yum; hamster jam! Finished two pots and I have two lids from hamster jam.

If we're meat eaters, why should we be bothered by which animal flesh we eat? Xenophobes will mock the French for eating horse, but why is that any different to cow? We're sensitive about eating animals that are our pets, like dogs and cats, yet we'll eat a rabbit.

There are some animals that might not be as palatable as others but if you're hungry enough, you'll learn to enjoy it; mustelid meat is not great apparently so badger might be best curried!
