You can tell the people who eat Tesco Burgers, they're the ones who've still got a bit between their teeth.

You shouldn't get eyes in burgers since 1997, due to BSE. Though if what is in the burger is not what is on the label, all bets are off.

And the (identical to) meat off the bone *ought* to be declared as a seperate ingredient and not meat, let alone brain and eyes. [ 19. January 2013, 15:10: Message edited by: Jay-Emm ]

...in one form or another:
Mr. C. was moaning today that the new dishcloths I had bought weren't very absorbent and were just pushing the water around instead of soaking it up. I said I'd look at the packet to see where I'd bought them, so to remember not to buy that sort again. It said 'Tesco value dishcloths'. We both looked at each other, laughed, and said at exactly the same time, 'It must be because of the horsemeat in them!'

We went to Tesco's last weekend: we bought pork chops and ready-meals for meat. Fish tonight. I never ever buy burgers at a grocery store: only at a little restaurant across the street from the university where my wife got her MA last year....

Not yet I haven't! I'd rather ride a Tennessee Walking horse at a canter or a gallop in New Mexico than stay here and watch a film featuring horses. I've been riding since age 8. My good friend and fellow Shipmate, JB, says I am still quite a good rider! He should know: he owns a horse named Whimsy and he competes in dressage...

And with that we appeared to have wandered right off the subject.
Plus exhausted all the equine puns. We wouldn't want to be flogging a dead horse (unlike Tesco).
