Well it all still tastes bloody lovely.

Apparently the horsemeat has been traced to Romania. Tenner says gyppos are behind this.

I was in the cafe at Tescos yesterday and ordered a burger on a bun. They asked if I wanted anything on it. I said yeah - £5 each way.

If you eat meat and mass produced crap as I do myself, you don't have the right to expect the product labelling to be correct and I'd say you are simple minded if you do.

Are you saying that I'm simple minded for expecting major companies to comply with the law?

Tell you what, try that next time you're caught speeding.
>soz m'lud, but you must be a simpleton if you expect people to obey every speed sign going

This post boiled my piss. I was about to have a teary but then realised he must be trying to piss me off. Yes, of course. N1 m8. 8/10

I have a gloomy and realistic view of how power, privilege and wealth controls 'the law' and I'm also generally the sort of possibly morally devoid person who would feel no compunction about robbing the homes of the landed gentry as long as you don't get caught. I expect the very worst from the powers that be, and hey I'm posting on /boo/!

You should have said "Neigh thank you".

>>2387
why? £5 each way is a much funnier response and thankfully not ANOTHER shit horse pun

>>2389

He was just using that to get his pun in, not rewrite the first. Try not to complain so much, it doesn't behoof you.

I've just been to the fridge to check my beef sausages are still good to eat... Aaaaaand they're off.

>>2379 I can't see anyone using dolphin or whale as a cheap filler. Surely that'd be way more expensive than the usual crap that fills fishfingers.

>>2392
Why can't they just use horse like everyone else?

>>2391
Oh bravo, bursting out laughing alone in front of a computer is quite a strange experience really.

boo was right

You're both laughably stupid and accidentally a bit right.

There is absolutely no way you could possibly pass off whale or dolphin as white fish - they're cetaceans rather than fish and have vivid red flesh.

It is true that fish fingers and other white fish products often contain fish other than cod - most commonly haddock or coley. Chip shops are also frequently substituting cod for river cobbler, a farmed Vietnamese catfish which is nearly indistinguishable from cod but half the price. Many chip shops now list "fish" on their menu rather than cod, because trading standards have been quite sharp on enforcement in many areas.

There's also the issue that a lot of people have missed, which is that DNA testing can only test for the presence of a specific contaminant. A DNA test can tell you whether a sample contains DNA from a specific target species, but it can't tell you if the sample is contaminated with something you're not looking for. DNA tests are at least £100 a pop, so it's simply not a useful enforcement tool unless you've got good prior intelligence. I have no doubt that there's still a lot of substitute meat in minced meat products.
