2. In response to the revelation, James Birch wrote on Facebook ‘What next? My Lidl Pony?’ in reference to the fact burgers containing horse meat had also been found in an Irish Lidl supermarket.
3. Jason E Lewis also got in on the act:
‘I got some Tesco burgers out of the freezer earlier aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnndddddddddd they’re off!,’ he joked.
4. Kezia Wallace waded into the humour by saying supermarkets would also cater for vegetarians.
She wrote: ‘I hear that they are putting uniQuorn in the veggie burgers too…’
5. Making jokes about horse burgers didn’t seem to be beneath well-known figures such as former deputy prime minister John Prescott, who tweeted: ‘I see the Tesco horse burger is the mane news item on Twitter.’
6. Betting chain Paddy Power didn’t waste any time in exploiting the controversy either and quipped: ‘Why were they testing the DNA in the first place?” Someone found a jockey’s whip in their 1/4 pounder.’
7. The Irish firm also offered odds on what animal other than a cow would be found next in a supermarket burger.
You could get 2/1 for Deer, which was the favourite and and 500/1 for longshot Bigfoot.

Geoff!!! what are you like, they don't get any better.
We have been to Morrison this morning, maybe a few more people about and it'sd not as cold as I expected, but then it always gets warmer before the snow
Just going to do a bit of baking whilst the oven is on cooking chicken for tonights tea. Few lemon tarts and jam turnovers.
Just made a chocolate sponge. Nice to have folk staying so I can bake.
Reminded me about Becks - any luck yet with yur new cake pan and everyones help?
Snow gone away again, I suppose it will be like this until the weather systems really collide. Have snow shovel ready, small shovel ready for car, found my silly wolly hat a,d snow boots (bit wirn out but they will have to do
At Morrisons bought pack of chicken thighs, will toss them in spices and only take 30mins to cook so that is my extra dish for next weekend.
One of the ladies have met through that course I did, has kept her hair short. She used to have below shoulder length hair before her chemo, but had it cut before she lost it all. Now it's regrowing, still shorter than mine & has had it cut twice! Me & a 3rd lady are still muttering about getting ours done. J.
A lot of people would have given anything for a piece of horse meat for a stew during the war, whats the difference to cow,pig, goat, lamb goose, duck........
