Horse meat found in beef burgers in the UK + Ireland

Well at least the situation is stable, though it wouldn't have affect me anyway for various reasons.

OH DBGTZ Y U SO FUNNAI

also I can deduce from this article that horse tastes like beef somewhat, seeing how nobody noticed a difference? Not that people eat horse on the regular, but you know what I mean

I don't understand why this would be the case, horsemeat is more expensive than beef unless you're talking prime steaks which would never go unnoticed

Indeed Horse meat is much nicer - it's leaner and much more succulent. You're getting more than you pay for.

How do they even get horse meat in them? At least it's not as bad as finding frogs in salads and such.

What's making me laugh is everyone saying they could have died, er no you can eat horse, it just shouldn't be there. The customer is completely at fault though, the cheap burgers aren't marketed as 100% beef so they must know they're eating something other than cow, although it didn't say what.

If they were marketed as 100% beef then that's not on, but it's happened, they're going to have to pay for their mistake but it won't kill you!
