And for the 90% who can't afford that?

Let them eat cake.

If it tastes like Beef what is the problem ? Nobody who ate the burgers complained that it felt like eating a horse.

Nobody complained it felt like eating beef either....

What do you expect if you buy budget, tatsteless crap from supermarkets and brands who squeeze farmers and suppliers to the bone?
Get fresh meat sourced from a British farm, from your local butcher or Waitrose, FFS.

And for the 90% who can't afford that?

Actually... stop eating so much meat might be the answer.

I was going to have burgers for tea but they're off

If it's advertised as beef, it should be beef. Also horses may have received drugs that shouldn't go into the food chain.

I'm surprised a big company like Findus aren't doing their own QA testing on the meat that they're using.

Meat men do their calculations by the kilo -

how do meat wimmin do their calculations?

[Zippy]

At any horse sales you'll see plenty of meat men buybing horses for way less than you'd ever pay for a cow! My wifes sister is a bit of a horse nut and her and her mates bought one for about £30

Meat men do their calculations by the kilo - that's about 6p/kg for an average sized horse.

Do you have any facts on hand which says that food producers started using horsemeat after the coalition got rid of food inspectors ?

No ? I thought as much. All those quangos did nothing but rake in hefty salaries for sitting on their arses all day and doing pen pushing.

The economic geniuses of the coalition got rid of the food inspectors to save money. What could possibly go wrong with that?

Wasn't Defra set up to protect the food chain after BSE?
