It will be shipped in from overseas and straight to the processing plant to be cooked up into what ever they are making that day. It's not just in England either it has affected several European countries Not only did the horse meat come from Rumania but it was processed in France so had nothing to do with English butchers. Besides that there is nothing wrong with horse meat. Has a slightly coarser texture and is leaner but if you were blind you wouldn't really know the difference between a horse steak and beef. |

| 1327512 | 2013-02-12 22:23:00 | In reading up on food taboos I discover that it is prohibited under Jewish law to eat horse. Of course, this isn't an issue if the food is not labelled as "kosher", since most orthodox Jews wouldn't eat it otherwise. Again with the importance of labelling. :) The Jewish community in Rome is pretty substantial and I had loads of friends among them (they were just italians with a different creed after all) and all of them enjoyed pizza capricciosa with prosciutto on top, nice country style pork sausages, horse steaks (which I find yummy by the way) and washed it all down with good wine. The only label tehy seemed to be influenced by was the price tag. It's not strictly religious, but also geographical. :) |

| 1327513 | 2013-02-12 22:27:00 | That's interesting, Sanco. All the Jews I know who don't keep kosher (in the UK and Australia) also eat pork (though only about half eat shellfish). Those who do keep kosher, don't. I feel okay to say that those I know who don't keep kosher would be fine eating horse, in the sense of having no religious objections. | Zara Baxter (16260) | ||
| 1327514 | 2013-02-12 22:31:00 | The problem is in whatever medications and/or drugs the horses have been treated with. Right on! Phenylbutazone is quite bad for humans. Possibly lethal even. I do believe it is quite routinely administered to horses. Probably moreso in Romania. |

| 1327515 | 2013-02-12 22:33:00 | Indeed Zara. I am sure there would be heaps that also still observe Kosher in Rome and elsewhere, but time and different cultural exposure dilutes things in my view. Don't you think? So, just think if we finally realised we were all one and the same and lived together a-la-John Lennon. I believe it can be done. Sorry, nothing to do with the topic and I apologise. |
