I still think the UK
should embrace the horse meat/veal market. Stop giving all the yumminess away to the french!

The fact that
veal is so reviled in this country is a crying shame.

It's an excellent meat.

I'll second the horses
I was a little dubious until my housemate bought a pack of horse ham back from France. Seriously good stuff.

see below
veal - old (foreign) system = torture.
veal - british (and I remember some other country doing this, so we ain't alone) system = perfectly good meat and we should eat more of it. Not torture.

Ha ha ha
Have never eaten horse meat - but apparently it ain't all that.

We have veal in this country - welfare friendly stuff that isn't raised in crates, and the calves are allowed to eat solid food... is called british rose veal. Doubt you'll be able to find it anywhere tho - the stuff you normally find is from abroad and NOT welfare friendly. Calves kept in crates, alone, fed liquid diets... horrid. THAT I take exception to... but again, if you want to eat it and you're informed, that's your choice.
