Can't wait for my chlorinated, antibiotic and hormone fed meat

[ellal]

Wtf you want to eat dead animals for

Well I wouldn't fancy eating a live one...

Although I have tasted live wiggidy grub...
(Better fried imo)

Because of the ignorant, fearful, parochial attitude to anything different, or "foreign", endemic in this country. The "foreign muck" attitude.

Oh yeah, the UK hates foreign muck so much that there are no curry, Thai, Italian, Chinese, French etc food restaurants here.

I smell bull.

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Is it about a fear of foreign, or are you just dissing the people of the UK without much thought? I'd have thought myself that things like horse, dog, cat etc it's more about the UK having certain animals that they love as pets and put more value on their lives, not a food source.

Oh yes - how intelligent, how logical, how reasoned, and thoughtful.

They'll eat mechanically recovered meat, blasted into a slurry with high pressure hoses from the spines of pigs and cows, and the carcasses of chickens, they'll eat all manner of "chopped and shaped" things glued together, they'll profess their love for animals whilst happily consuming meat, and eggs, and milk etc from animals raised in appallingly inhumane conditions, they'll eat pork but not dog meat even though pigs are as intelligent and as socially complex as dogs.

And they'll eat meat from cows, but not from horses.

So yes - I have no hesitation in dissing such narrow-minded, ignorant and unthinking drones.

Obviously things are changing, but there are still people who profess not to like any foreign food.

Certainly more thought put into it than you just dissing the people in this country.

Oh look, some thoughts on the subject.

Can't see any hatred of foreigners mentioned about eating horse, can you?

Be that as it may, it was c. a third of the price of minced beef during the shenanigans.

As is meat similarly lower priced versus non-meat content as has recently been found in contaminated vegetarian meals...

But it is the food chain that is the problem - and because we currently have agreements with the EU, by and large these issues come to light...

However already non-EU nations are lining up to say that if the UK wants to deal with them we have to drop the high human rights levels that the UK has via the EU.
No doubt these same lower demands will be applied to animal rights and chemical 'doping' of our foodstuffs which we currently have protection from!

Oh god, seriously?

The first curry house opened 200 years ago. (was a google doodle a short while ago) and became popular in the 1940's. You seriously think things are only just changing? There will always be the odd person who hates the thought of spices or trying new things, but you've tarred a whole country on a few to have a cheap dig at the UK. It's pitiful, it really is.

You are presuming that this will happen. The UK is a huge animal loving country and have lead the way in animal welfare, way way before being a member of the EU I may add.
I'd rather wait and see what happens before I presume and condemn.

I can't see any hatred of foreigners mentioned in my posts here, can you?

But I can see this in that article:

But all of the above reasons apply as much to France as they do to the UK. There must be more to it.

"It enables us to have yet another point of difference with the French," says Gray.

"Beef has long been symbolic of Englishness and therefore anything we can do or say to put British beef on a pedestal is usually done - ergo the thought that the French eat horse while we eat good beef becomes a chauvinistic way of asserting national identity," she says.​

You might like to go and look up the definition of "chauvinistic".

Do you not realise that WTO rules cover only tariffs, not country of origin requirements?

And that the UK will be in no position to demand the current safeguards?

But the reason why horse meat is frowned upon here is that the UK is selective on how it 'loves animals'...

For example Foal meat is imo incredibly good, and yet is scorned upon in the UK.
And yet Veal and Lamb is accepted...

There is a saying in my partner's country.
'When out riding a horse, it's ok to play with your food'

.

Really? You wrote all these posts dissing people in the UK and claiming the reason the UK doesn't like to eat horsemeat is because they don't like 'foreign muck'. I wish you'd address your attitude towards the UK, and it's people, instead of nitpick my words.

And if people in this country weren't so parochial, and so scared of anything new or "foreign" there'd have been no need for it, as they'd be OK with knowingly eating horse.

Because of the ignorant, fearful, parochial attitude to anything different, or "foreign", endemic in this country. The "foreign muck" attitude.

And they'll eat meat from cows, but not from horses.

So yes - I have no hesitation in dissing such narrow-minded, ignorant and unthinking drones.

Just call it a liar.

The horse meat was hidden to make a quick buck.

Fook all to do with hiding "foreign muck".

Clearly BAS is living in the 1970's.

I must admit my Dad won't eat curry or pasta.....but he is 91

Maybe its true about people not liking foreign food, I mean there are loads more English restaurants in the the high street than foreign cuisine.

I've always wanted to visit Wagamamas, I just wish there was one in this country
