The Tesco Horse Burger situation


A quick cartoon sketch related to the Tesco horse, meat in their burgers story, my apologies but I couldn’t resist, as a shopkeeper seeing another retail business in the horseradish, particularly a very big one is something I find funny.

Acer et ad plamae per se cursurus honores, Si tamen horteris fortius ibit equus.

Hopefully none of the leather bindings in my bookshop are horse, but how would one know? 

Ah and here is a link to the Tesco Equestrian Range

  2. Ironically horse meat is probably far safer than beef that's pumped full of antibiotics and growth hormones, not to mention the possibility of BSE...

  3. I would have never thought that the horse population was strong enough to supply the processed burger market, especially when the customers are Tesco and Iceland. Does make me wonder where the origin of the horse meat comes from ?

    1. Doesn’t make sense to me either Tony, in the countries where horse meat is eaten I think it is more expensive than beef.

  4. I was more shocked to discover that Tesco Value burgers had any beef in them.

  5. Despite the recent news, Tesco says that their beef burger sales remain
    stable.

    Went to the fridge to check my burgers, aaaaannndddd they're off!!

    Had a Tesco beef burger for lunch.
    It gave me the trots.

    New Tesco burgers: Low in fat, high in Shergar.

    Horse meat found in Tesco burgers!
    What are the odds on that?

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
