Nothing like o good old Hafnerr sausage or Bacon back in the fifties. Had a steak in the Gresham a couple of years ago,very nice.
I had a hamburger in Ireland 30 years ago and never had beef in Ireland again. Made the mistake of having lambstew after our wedding and again, gave that up too. I guess the only meat I eat in Ireland is bacon. Tried breakfast sausage once and couldn't handle the taste/texture. Now it is strictly vegetarian. Simpler and healthier apparently.
INCORRECT REPORTING AGAIN IRISH CENTRAL IT WAS ACTUALLY THE UK FOOD STANDARDS AGENCY WHICH DID THE TEST NOT THE IRISH FOOD STANDARDS AGENCY BUT YES THIS PRODUCT IS ON SALE IN IRELAND AND SHOULD NOT BE EATEN !!!
The D4 yummy mummy's favourate dish Its far from LLasagne you were reared.Try cooking for a change "The Celtic Tiger me arse'!!Fool's Gold
You are jumping to many hurdles Desty
I heard a woman living nearby was recently admitted to hospital after eating two burgers contaminated with horsemeat. Her condition is said to be stable.
Reminds me of a meat scandal some years ago when Kangaroo meat was found in the meat of a hamburger chain in the U.S.(The meat substitution racket)
I don't think I've eaten anything with horsemeat in, and am feeling very healthy. And fit...I've noticed that when I pass a fence I get the urge to jump it.
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland needs to be recognised for the work it has done in protecting consumers by uncovering a huge Europe wide scam (the UK, France, Sweden, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Poland to date) perhaps even wider. It has set the standard others across Europe will have to follow from now on; a growing list of food processors and retailers say they will introduce such testing after the Food Safety Authority of Ireland's findings. The testing was done by IdentiGEN Ltd., an Irish company founded in 1996 after world class research conducted at Trinity College Dublin. It now has laboratories in the UK, US and Canada, and offers its DNA TraceBack scheme to big retailers. Nations will always dress a story from the perspective of their national vantage point -Large nations that sustain international media companies, can do harm to smaller nations as they frequently ignore relevant information out of a lack of insight into that jurisdiction. In an ideal world, the media of the Irish Diaspora, would help counteract this by publishing relevant information and protecting Irish interests from misleading reporting abroad. If it was another jurisdiction's Food safety Authority, using standards and science developed by them, that uncovered this international scam, you can be sure we would be hearing about it.
I'll neigh be buying that product !
No vegetarians were harmed during the ingestion of this product.
