Yes, I think so.It's a bit tasteless them putting the electrostun paddles on the box, though.

Also, I don't see the problem.If you can justify putting parts of one sort of animal's carcass in your mouth, you can justify any other.

I'm willing to try anything non animalAmuses me how meat eaters will eat one part of an animal but not another when it's perfectly good food source that's been murdered for them going to waste

So when you eat sprouts, you eat the stem?Or turnip the roots and leaves?
Those were perfectly good parts of the plant that was killed for you with some nutritional value.

You don't have an issue with being sold horse when you thought you were being sold beef?Well, being sold a small amount of beef and a large amount of fat, breads, and coagulents? That's like being sold mustard mashed potato and only learning it's swede when it's too late.

Clearly the Trade Descriptions Act is not an issue for you then(Edit: For whatever reason, it's not culturally normal to eat horse in Britain, any more than it is to eat dog or cat, or - and rather hypocritically given our thirst for milk - veal. Different countries have different cultural norms; veal is common and popular a short trip over the sea, Koreans are famous for eating dog, and the French will eat anything that moves and almost everything that doesn't so long as you can still be cruel to it. My issue is chiefly that if I bought these burgers -- which, thankfully, I haven't and probably wouldn't -- they're being sold as beef burgers and I'm sure they didn't put 'horsemeat' anywhere in the ingredients, which means they're breaking the law. If they're going to put horsemeat into a burger, or the controls in their factories are so lax that horsemeat can get in by accident, I'm hardly going to trust any of the other ingredients, nor any other part of their production chain.)

Yes the trade descriptions is the only issue for me but that wasn't my original pointDead animal is dead animal as far as I'm concerned, chefs like Hugh Fearnley Wotsit are advocating using more parts of an animal and trying different meats. Thousands of packs of burgers will be going to waste when it's perfectly good food. If I was a meat eater I'd eat the burgers but save the packaging to demand a refund if I was that peed off about the product description.

How do you know it's perfectly good food? That horse meat has gone through none of the stringent food safety checks meat usually goes through,

Fair point, but it's gone through intensive food processing to reach that stage and odds on safe to eatI guess I'm less fussy about what I've put in my mouth over the years of which I've only been veggie for 20.

I'll eat any animal I don't have a personal emotional attachment to, i.e, My dog - no, Your dog - yummy.My issue with this isn't that it's horse, it's that uncontrolled meat from ANY animal has been used. That meat could have anything wrong with it.

That's basically my issue too, just phrased a lot more succinctly :)Culturally we don't eat horsemeat - in Britain or in Ireland - so who the fuck knows where that stuff came from. In principle there's nothing particularly wrong with eating horse.
But stay the hell away from my dog! (He died a few years ago anyway :( He might give you a sore belly if you tried to eat him now.)

That's better :)Though I'd be extremely unhappy if I tested it and found there wasn't any bat in it after all.
