100% beef = cows eyes/brain etc
you don't know what goes into it
And FYI isn't all your cattle pumped full of growth hormones and slaughtered inhumanely?

I am not concerned about horse meat at all, the only worrying thing is how this happened without anyone noticing until the food standards did a routine check.
Makes you wonder what else goes into their other products without anyone finding out.
Doesn't particually bother me, i've eaten dog, cat, even fermented chicken embryo.
If it was human meat in the burgers, then i'd have a problem.
Butchers is always best, and tastier.

Dog and human is probably the only meat i couldnt bring myself to eat, i love dogs too much and human goes without saying really. i would eat cat, i hate cats would love to eat one. though i cant imagine a cat having that much meat and it being a bit tough.
I read somewhere that the FDA allows a certain percentage of rodent hair and bugs per a certain amount of food. Like anything under 60 insect parts per 100g of chocolate is allowed. And apple butter is allowed to be 12% moldy.
Also "The FDA allows up to 19 maggots and 74 mites per 100 grams of mushrooms that are canned."
This has also been found in Asda, Aldi, and Iceland:

Oh, and Lidl. My Lidl Pony!
It's also appeared in Aldi burgers, and might likely also be in Asda ones as well. You should update the title to reflect this and not make it seem like a witch hunt against Tesco.
It is likely due to a processing plant in Europe, where the meat was sourced from.

Horsemeat is very good.
It is a major meat in only a few countries, notably in Central Asia, but it forms a significant part of the culinary traditions of many others, from Europe to South America to Asia. The top eight countries consume about 4.7 million horses a year. For the majority of mankind's early existence, wild horses were hunted as a source of protein. It is slightly sweet, tender, low in fat and high in protein.
Horse meat from the Netherland. Looks good:

Atoms are liars, they make up everything!
And my mother wonders why i turn my nose up at the meat from lidl/ aldi :S
where i use to live there was this butcher that sold all weird meats you couldn't usually buy in shops. had things like aligator, kangaroo, snake ect. i think he sometimes had horse in. never tried it myself though.

Ostrich and Kangaroo make good burgers, more places should sell it
