    Tests found 75pc equine DNA in a batch of meat product that had been sent from Poland to Rangeland Foods in Castleblayney, Co Monaghan.

    Those sneaky Polish. The swans were just to distract us while they went after the horses. Well played.

    I don't care that there was horse meat in it....What I want to know is why is beef so expensive in Ireland?

    When I first got here I was told how much better it was and how they grazed in open fields of green and pooped Irish rainbows and didn't use hormones or steroids or anything else...and that the beef was tightly regulated and tracked from farm to plate.

    And everyone told me it tasted much better for it.

    I'll happily eat the unregulated mystery meat (that we've all been eating) but why can't I get it at a reasonable price?

    I believe you might just have answered your own question here sir.

    F*ck off with this sh!te seriously. I'm sick of hearing about horse burgers on the radio and seeing it on the front page of every news paper for the last 2 weeks. Go to a reputable butchers and buy real burgers not the sh!te ones for 99c in tesco bargain aisle and you won't encounter any horse DNA.

    The thread title doesn't even make sense! 75% of horse DNA, does that mean 75% of a horses genome was found in a burger? Or that 75% of all horse DNA was found in a burger? :mad:

    Is there such an over supply of horse that they're sneaking it into everything to get rid of it?

    A Pony goes to the Vet and says

    "Doc, I think I ate some of them Beef Burgers that had Horse meat in them and now I've got a terrible sore throat"

    The vet examines him & says, "Everything seems fine with you no need to worry"

    And the Pony rasps..."Are you sure Doc?....because I'm a little horse"

    :D...:D?...:D??..???...:confused:..:(


    ...I'll get me coat...

    Because Irish beef goes to the highest bidder. Ireland is one of the largest exports of beef in the world. We produce something like enough for 40 million people but there is only 4.5 million in Ireland.

    The factories will sell beef to ever pays the highest price whether it be Germany, France or Ireland. But Irish beef is so good compared to some of it in contiential Europe. I spent weeks in Germany dying to have a decent burger and didn't find one

    Jayziz, between the 80% processed chicken "hot dogs", and 75% horsemeat "beef burgers". That's disgusting, I like knowing what I'm eating. Mad cow disease, avian flu, swine flu, horse burgers, foot and mouth disease, etc - why do we bother eating meat? You can sustain a very healthy and balanced vegetarian diet.
