    I've eaten horse meat in Mexico and it's pretty good! (I ate in not knowing it was horse)

    I have issues with them misselling their product, along with all the supermarkets, but honestly I see no harm in eating horse meat as long as it's safe. I remember getting abuse for eating venison and rabbit- but its leaner and is more likely eaten and lived better then beef cows- so what if its cuter?

    except that it's dishonest if you tell people it's one animal when it's another. I live in the Gulf and the supermarket staff always check that I know I'm buying camel meat when I buy it, because most westerners don't want to eat it.

    I don' think I have any problem with horse meat. I'm sure plenty of French people think we're weird when we come to not eating it.

    What does bother me is where it has come from, not just the horse meat but also the beef and pork that has been found. Regulations in the UK make it easy to track which animals was used in which batch, Europeans have even forced us to have passports for cows. Now why do we have to do this, but other European countries do not?

    I'm also not happy with how quick off the mark the FSA were in declaring it safe, how can you declare it safe when even the manufacturers do not know where the meat has come from? CJD/Mad Cows is rife in France and Eastern Europe, the way cheap meat is prepared and processed you have no idea if part of the nervous system contaminated in to the meat.

    Of course the fact that BK itself was checking the meat from it's suppliers, that it involved other companies (including TESCO) and this meat apparently wasn't served by BK, isn't relevant to the OP or anyone else? Great hatchet job there.
