The Neighs have it

So who else is looking askance at anything in the freezer that might be considered in the slightest bit processed? It's not that I object to eating horse meat. I have eaten horse in the past. I just think that it should be (a) labelled horse, and not pork or beef, and (b) have been passed fit for human consumption. The food industry: showing that self-regulation doesn't work since the dawn of time.
I am supposed to be doing some tidying/sorting out/getting rid of books I really don't need. You can guess how well that's going.

Ed. Fine. Then you can take the random Sheikh romance and Little Book of Feng Shui. I am feeling quite pleased I hadn't actually got rid of the Susan Howatch one, so I can chuck Jon Darrow and gain two shelf-inches.

Date: 2013-02-10 01:32 pm (UTC)I'm a bit annoyed that some of the newspaper focus seems to be so much on "It's horse! Why do we have this cultural taboo?" when the point isn't really that it is horse, but illicit horse. In a way, it's rather good that it's horse (and, in the halal beefburgers, pork) because at least that shows up when it isn't supposed to be so as opposed to mafia-supplied something else.

Date: 2013-02-11 08:24 am (UTC)Ed. which actually now reminds me of that story a couple of years ago about a tissue bank that was doing just that. Compared to which the odd horse is as nothing on the yuck factor.

Date: 2013-02-10 12:31 pm (UTC)Sausages are about the only processed thing we eat as husband makes his own mince/meatballs/burgers/shepherd's pie/lasagne with the remains of a Sunday joint in traditional fashion and demanded a proper old-fashioned mincer for Christmas to facilitate this. I am slightly concerned about where the school dinner company is getting its mince from, given that it has to produce a 2-course meal for £2.70 a head. Tonight's tea will be the pork chops, which definitely look like pork chops. Horse chops would be much bigger for a start.

Date: 2013-02-10 01:37 pm (UTC)Ironically I don't even like sausages much as I find the concept rather disgusting, but decided to gfet over this. The news isn't helping. I have a duck leg for tea, which definitely is not big enough for a hoof on the end of it.
