Burger King makes a Whopper of a confession! Burger King admits selling beef burgers and Whoppers containing horse meat | Mail Online
Whether it's Burger King, Hardees or McDonalds, there is more than beef in those burgers. Anyone who has eaten one and doesn't know that would probably purchase a degree from a degree mill too. :smile:
I seem to remember a big kerfaffle in the 70s about Jack In the Box allegedly putting kangaroo meat in their burgers.
I've had a bison burger. It was good. I've had plenty of hamburgers, some were good, some just ok, some pretty bad, the difference probably being how well they were cooked. I've never had a horse burger. Under some circumstances I might be willing to try one. But what about this? What if, quite simply, someone doesn't want to eat horsemeat? :grumble: now i have to go find that clip from soylent green. here it is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Sp-VFBbjpE
They are not telling you that there are oodles of other animals in animal meat. People need to calm down. Bio101
Kizmet: So what kind of other animals are you accustomed to serving to people with the claim that it's beef? FDA rules permit an average of 2 or more rodent hairs per 10 grams; an average of 300 or more insect fragments (referred to as insect filth) per 10 grams; an average of 10 or more fly eggs per 500 grams or 5 or more fly eggs and 1 or more maggots per 500 grams. So in a quarter pounder (also known as a 114-grammer), that would be a legal dose of 22 rodent hairs, 3,300 insect fragments, 2 or 3 fly eggs, and a a quarter of a maggot. But I think it's the permission of 25% "cheek meat" (that would be cow head) in ground beef that unsettles me the most. I can't believe that I continue to eat this stuff. But it tastes so good.
I have eaten beef burgers, bison burgers, beefalo burgers, ostrich burgers, turkey burgers, however my favorite is lamb burgers. The McDonald's Fish Fillet sandwich (burger??) uses sustainable fish and tastes great if you omit the tartar source.
OK, I understand that there are QA standards set by the FDA and that there just has to be a little wiggle room because nothing is perfect. But trying to keep things 99.99% clean (and missing by just a tiny bit) is not the same as deliberately throwing wombats, gutter cats and hedgehogs into the burger mix (and then conveniently forgetting to tell anyone, including the FDA).
I guess in England they should just call it "meat" and then let it go. After all, they're just Islamics. BBC News - Supplier of halal meat containing pork DNA is named
Sorry I was late; the line at Taco Bell was really long.... There's beef mixed in with the horse meat at BK? Since when? "This steak still has marks where the jockey was hitting it." --Rodney Dangerfield, R.I.P.

I don't know if you all are as crazy as me but I've actually been following this story a bit. It has travelled around the world a couple of times and seems to center mostly in the UK.
