Sorry but I couldn't resist it!
To any Tesco's supermarket executives who may be directed here;It's HUMOUR! It was bound to happen and it might make you check the sourcing of your 'product' a little more efficaciously!
Another one....
This is going to run and run unless it ends-up in a pre-cooked stew! These came out of a conversation we were having at lunch today (yesterday!), other gems included changing the small-print on the nutrition panels to read;
- May contain traces of more than one species
- Meat product of the European motorway network
- ...Aspartame, Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), Binding Agent (crin de cheval)....
- Red Rumble - A 'mixed' meat pizza
- Lassy-sagne - an honest lasagne

Kind of reminds me of the Python skit where the ingredients on the box really were what was in the chocolates.
I like the 'Aldi' logo!
Anne - Absolutely! and if it ever happened some products would make for frighting reading!!
Anon - I don't know what you mean!!!

That's fun!
And makes me think how lucky I am to eat so often original homemade lasagne, stuffed with real beef (or even better, pork).
As un-ethical and un-tasty horse meat may be, I fear we've been served far worse stuff in our food :(
The Hubby and I were talking about this last night and we're pretty sure we've eaten cat at a couple of Chinese places. He tries not to go "meow" whenever we walk into the place.
Giano - 'aint that the truth, I don't know how the media on the continent is taking this, but over here ours are about to have kittens (which will then probably enter the food-chain!), but it comes as no surprise to me, and I'm one of the low-income idiots eating the stuff!
Any sane person reading the contents label of any processed food, whether pre-prepared meal or ingredient would take to stalking the woods for every meal - sadly, as a species we're not that sane!
Anne - I knew one like that in Woking many years ago...closed on a regular basis when furry tails turned-up in the bins, only for it to reopen a few weeks later having been 'sold' to one of the uncles/brothers etc..Plus le change!
Media here on the continent are too concerned about the Pope and the political elections to worry about alimentary scandals - which anyway are quite common in Italy. After all, horse meat is considered a delicacy in some parts of Italy.
And not only the chinese use to cook kittens - has anybody heard about "coniglio alla vicentina" ?
Giano - I like cats, so don't think I want to know about coniglio alla vicentina...and I'm definitely NOT Googling it!

You got the point, and I agree. In fact I'm happy the only meat I can stand is pork, which possibly is the most difficult to counterfeit.
