Traces of horse meat leads Nestle to recall of some products

[CDNBear]

Apparently, in Spain, when things taste like crap, they say it tastes like dog. They apparently had to eat dog around the time of the second world war, when they were having their various civil problems, from what I was told.

I haven't had dog persay, but I've had Coyote cooked in a Korean style, sort of a sweet/soya sorta thing, it was pretty good.

We seem to cook beef to the same degree then. What can I say? We like the taste of meat in my family.

I can't blame you. It's good. We like to buy prime rib on sale and cut it into huge steaks, massage it with butter and sprinkle Montreal steak spice on them before grilling them over a high heat for a few seconds, lol.

What gets me is how much of this stuff gets past inspectors and the head offices of the industry.
Surely these people are not that poor at their job and if that is the case they are lazy or in on the
actions of less scrupulus people. God only knows what we are eating

I can't help but think that the actual number of tainted food (either human or pet) hasn't necessarily skyrocketed from days past, just that it is actually being reported more stringently. In the past, it could have just been the case of "what they don't know, won't hurt(kill) them" so they didn't report it like they do now. Either way, the number of incidents is higher than it should be.

Everything gets reported more these days than in the past. It's never really a matter of whether things are worse now than they were in days (years) gone by. The real question we need to ask ourselves is, now that we know what's happening, what are we going to do about it?

Horse isn't unsafe but there are concerns about hormones and drugs in horses passing into the human food chain.

Concerns about hormones and drugs from horses passing into human food chains? Really? Ever taken a look at what goes into commercial beef? Or chicken? Or pork? Besides the anti-biotics, growth hormones, etc., there is also the fact that as living beings, cattle are filters for whatever is in their environment. Your neighbor sprays pesticides on his veggies, some wind carries it to your pasture where your cattle are eating grass: guess what, your cattle ingest it and it gets into their metabolisms.
Yeah, commercial foods. Oh, yummy

I wonder why all the fuss? When I served in the US military the Mess Units had to "stretch out " the Rations due to the inability of the system to keep us supplied with anything. I'll bet many a military Mess Kitchen meat grinder saw Horse, Dog, Monkey, Camel and other "restricted" whole food items. I think Whale was used to "Expand" rations on some small Pacific Island bases? I used to walk by Horse Meat Markets when we went on hunting trips to foreign nations. Even the presence of domestic Cats in some neighborhoods must have an explanation.

Dog, monkey, camel, and whale may just be healthier than commercial beef. Or horse for that matter.
How long ago were you in the military? Lots of stuff has probably been introduced into animals since, you know.

Heard the term "hot meat" before, but not in relation to dogs.

LW" "Yeah.... Dezel is far more civilized and good-natured than some of the trolls in here"

Most dogs are..........eh.;-)

Nah, we eat the same sh it, just wash our hands more.

And when things get REALLY bad, we stand up as one,............................and look the other way.

As it should be, and certainly more so than it is.

So he attempts to spread the blame around. Typical Industrial Complex are se whole.

Grumps, they've probably been told to STFU and keep the line moving.

I hope that the horse meat didn't end up in any of the desserts/junk food. 8O

It sounds a lot worse than it is when you haven't been to Europe. I can buy horse meat at my neighbourhood grocery store or butcher.

In Canada, it would be like them recalling cans of ravioli because there was some pork in them. Still bad, but, meh.

It's not "horse meat" that bothers me per se...it's that they LIED. Which shouldn't be a surprise but I am so tired of "oops" from big companies who make mega profits through lies. I am so done with that crap.

Boy, you don't want to eat the steaks I cook then...

Meh, don't count me out. I love a nice cut of beef (my favourite meat) if it is done pink with a bit of blood. But if it is bleeding like a stuck pig, I'm done. And chicken best be thoroughly cooked but still with clear juice. And nicely seasoned with lots of veggies.

What happens if the meal happens to be stuck pig?
