I have and didn't think much of it (this isn't counting any I may have unknowingly eaten). I've dramatically reduced the amount of meat I eat this year so I wouldn't bother with horsemeat, just eat less but better quality of the traditional meats.

I never have. I know its good for you but I come from a culture where eating horse meat is unpopular as horse is considered as a noble human's friend and companion and only eat it for a medical reason or necessity.

I eat carp (it's a Polish thing), most people run a mile from it because they're bottom feeders but the taste is lovely. Very mild and not 'fishy' at all.

I live in a farming community but breeding cattle and sheep for meat is totally different to breeding horses. It's just not something I'd consider yet I'll happily eat beef and lamb and pork. I wont eat rabbit either for some reason but I will eat duck now and again if the mood takes me.

I just think people get too sentimental about certain meats.

The only meat I wouldn't eat is dog. Partly because I love dogs and partly because I know it tastes awful! I have eaten wolf meat though and that was quite nice.

I don't think anyone would be expecting anyone to be eating well cared for pedigree horses and ponies...I think the inference was for nags and horses ready for the knackers yard as another alternative

I've had horse when in Europe and it tastes nice and is far better than other red meats such as beef

I think the sentiment behind eating horse meat was so that the horses have a sales value at the end of their natural life which in turn may prevent the amount of neglected and abandoned horses. I'm fairly certain they didn't want all horse owners starting to go carnivorous in their stables so less of the outrage please!!

Personally I think why not. It's a bit like us being an organ donor when we're dead rather than just rotting. The horse is just donating its meat rather than its organs!!

for the record, i'm not outraged. each to their own and all that. and i do understand where they are coming from. the news is full of horses being dumped/neglected because their owners can't afford to keep them any more. overbreeding is a big part of the problem as well. it's just not something i would wish to eat

passports have a page which you sign to state whether or not the horse is intended for human consumption. in countries like France and Belguim they are bred specifically for meat. much like cows are bred here. when the 'horse meat scandal' was going on here there were traces of bute found which is not to be fed to horses intended for human consumption

"keeps the fucking things off the roads..."

A lot of horses running wild on the roads where you live then?

I live near to a rural/country area (cannock chase) and probably see on average 3 or 4 horses a year on the road. Not much inconvenience really.

horses were on roads long before cars and motorcycles. If I'm on a road I know is used by horses I drive slow. If I see a rider I slow down until we have passed. Common sense and courtesy the same I apply to pushbike and motorcycles

I think you have your wires crossed horse meat that has been accredited slaughtered and butchered isn't poisonous and is as safe to eat as other meats on sale through accredited sources.

I think you need to read what I said. You have your facts wrong meat accredited for sale is not poisonous as trading standards would confirm. Illegal meat of any sort is meat not destined for human consumption no matter what beast it is. I assume you are trying to scaremonger people due to the fact you don't like people eating horse. The facts are over a million people in Europe eat horse flesh every year safely."
Ron or should I say BIG BAD cant keep up with people other names. Bute is sometimes used as a drug to treat individuals suffering from a severe form of arthritis, but in rare cases it causes a serious blood disorder known as aplastic anaemia, where the body does not make enough new blood cells.

FSA chief executive Catherine Brown accused some vets and horse owners of not ensuring horse passports are kept up-to-date, leading to bute-treated horses ending up in the food chain. I have been reading for months about it getting in the food chain and not fit for the public .

Phenylbutazone, often called Bute. The painkiller for horses is not allowed in the human food supply because of concerns that it could cause aplastic anemia. Drug residues are a serious concern across the meat supply, but are of particular concern for animals like horses, that are not specifically raised for food and may be treated with a long list of drugs throughout their lives. The concern is that some of those drugs remain in the meat if that horse makes it into the food supply, and whether eating those residues is safe for people.

You really don't understand do you about what goes into the food chain for humans. The facts are that every medication, wash, spray an animal has used on it going into the food chain has to be documented. Every animal can be traced back from end user to source and the products are tested for contamination.

You do realise that cows are kept in Europe for meat, as horses and they use the same medication and go through the same stringent tests.

Which brings no credence to your poison claim I have an uncle who runs a BMW franchise but I don't know what parts go into making them So what your family have do run or breed really doesn't make you knowledgeable on the subject and to claim it is rather immature to think it does. I suggest you get some independent facts and do your homework as your claims so far are incredulous at best but hey if believing them makes you happy go for it but it doesn't make it true or dissuade others from smiling at the naivety.

lol I hate this ping bong game I have my views you have your like on my other posts we don't see eye to eye.. Unlike cattle and pigs, horses are not raised for food under food safety guidelines. This means that horses can be given any sort of medication and be sent to slaughter. There is no fool-proof way to monitor what the horse has ingested and how much.

I love horses and, yet, I'm a little overawed by them. Since ancient times, they've been a creature aside from all others in their sacred mythology and demiethereal power in our combined British and Norse cultures - which is perhaps why, even to this day, we are so reluctant to kill them for food.

Never is a long long time!

Imagine a post apocalyptic scenario, you are surrounded by a pack of now feral dogs, you and they are driven mad by hunger. Do you kill and share your horse with the dogs cementing their loyalty to you and surviving. Or do you refuse to kill your pet horse and join your horse in death becoming dog food when they attack?

Yeah I understand that!!I wouldn't want to eat a family member!!But would eat one of my fish!

Carp but I bet they are not all that to eat

I eat carp (it's a Polish thing), most people run a mile from it because they're bottom feeders but the taste is lovely. Very mild and not 'fishy' at all.

I have eaten Carp, Catfish, Bream and Pike, all taste different but very nice..

Back to the OP yes ive eaten Horsemeat in Belgium and it was as good as any other Meat

Gimp"
There are as you stated a number of freshwater species of fish you can eat I once had eel but I had a bad experience with them so from that I won,t touch them again unless out of the sea where they taste all together different, perch is another fresh water fish you can eat also pike perch (zander) If you have good tackle to

catch them their a pest here now being

a released predator,a bit of salmon and trouts nice but i love salt water fish if available plaice, mackeral,cod and chips comes to mind.. but never horsemeat very popular in the first and second world wars when no other meat was available and rations were low.

NO!

Dogs are carnivores and it is a very bad idea to eat carnivore meat. If you remember New Variant CJD was caused by the adding of sheep bonemeal to the feed of cattle thus turning a herbivore into a carnivore. However having said that if it was a choice between starving or eating dog I would eat dog!

By the way horses are herbivores and herd prey animals just like cattle and sheep.

Irish firm also offered odds on what animal other than a cow would be found next in a supermarket burger.

You could get 2/1 for Deer, which was the favourite and and 500/1 for longshot Bigfoot.

Have eaten it and would again, being a country chap I've eaten many meat products that others would question.

Warning – your burger may have won the 3.45 at Wincanton-Tesco, Iceland withdraw burgers after horsemeat discovery.

Is eating #horsemeat really that bad? Let’s put it to the vote. All those in favour say ‘aye’, all those against say ‘neigh’

neigh neigh

well it made me smile .

"I know what horses are and overseas Dog they love and cat so maybe they should be looking into that too as 10000s put down each year and protein like the fish We put back in the seas because we like cod. All dead as no market and costs them money to take in and off the boats ."

What is your point?

I point out to you the total stupidity of your 'I would never eat my pets' statement. So you reply with we should add the 10,000's of dogs put to sleep into the human food chain. I again reply with a sensible reason why this would not be a good idea, but finish by saying that I would eat dog rather than starve.

to this you reply that they eat dog in other parts of the world but fail to mention that those places would be Asia and sub Saharan Africa, both well known for their continual famines, thus proving my original point that when faced with starvation we will eat anything.

What is your point?

Finally you mention the fish we throw back because its the wrong type. Or we have taken our quota. Again you show your total lack of understanding of what is happening. Firstly we throw them back because we are not starving and actually have a surfeit of food in Europe and the developed world. Secondly what is thrown back, contrary to popular belief is not wasted, but returns to the food chain. Fact is, nearly all fish eat fish or fish eggs and noting goes to waste in the seas. "
Why not dogs they love them in different parts of the world we kill 1000s each week. ? As for Fish With popular fish species like cod, haddock and tuna under threat, Jamie Oliver is joining with Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Gordon Ramsey and Heston Blumenthal for Channel 4's Big Fish Fight.

In a series of bite-sized programmes, the chef is taking over the schedules with suppers to help save our seas. Jamie is convinced that people can make a difference, simply by cooking different things.

Tesco replied to a customer who had asked whether they stocked ‘Red Rum’ by saying they would ‘look into the issue and get back to him soon’.

In response to the revelation, James Birch wrote on Facebook ‘What next? My Lidl Pony?’ in reference to the fact burgers containing horse meat had also been found in an Lidl supermarket.

Jason E Lewis also got in on the act:

I got some Tesco burgers out of the freezer earlier aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnndddddddddd they’re off!,’ he joked

I personally would not touch horse meat Intentionally unless things were really bad between that and starveing I always remember that song ... Come wild horse,s Let me fly away to a land that is far away

let me fly let me fly come wild horse,s...etc and some of black beauty sticks with me to has a fine country

animal you don,t really see it now where

I live but to see a working horse with his large horse shoes clip clopping the

road to me is a big part of our Identity

I can still remember the horse and cart

when comeing around for second hand clothes along with other things back in the sixties, now its all charity bags

through the letter box or white transit

vans (white van man) comes to mind forever in a rush, If i ever get the chance to shovel up some horse manure Into a bag off the road now days I put

it with my rose,s they love it but its a hard thing to find now...

They were introduced into the FOD a few years back and although it's nice to see them back they are incredibly destructive and people really kick off when controlling their numbers get mentioned. Having had boar meat I agree it's very tasty.

wild boar are popular here but of course

not with everyone in the new forest they

mentioned keeping the oakcorns down which the adult boar and piglets eating them If they have no natural predators

Then I suppose culling them would eventually have to play apart to think

kings of old hunted for them on horseback there thou despised and good reason to " william the conqueror and king john I think were two who hunted for

them there" along with deer

Man replies, yes, I think I'll have 5 pounds each way

What's the fuss? For years we've been told that Ready Meals contain too much Salt and Shergar.
