I'll humbly eat humble pie if the Waitrose burgers have got horse in them, but I bet they haven't. Despite the pomposity of Waitrose and those who shop there, I do believe they go the extra mile to check out the arse-end of their supply chain. Tesco and Aldi, however, are balls deep in plausible deniability.JAS84 wrote:Haha, don't speak too soon, rdobbie!

No, although you'd want to know you weren't eating ground up diseased donkey, complete with tumors and cycts. Those things may be possible if someone has gone to lengths to lie about what they're selling.nodnirG kraM wrote:I'm vegetarian so this is genuine lack of understanding from me.

But lovely horse? No.
