The company tells the AP that its decision to cut ties with the meat processor is a “voluntary and precautionary measure” and stresses that it’s not an issue of food safety. After all, Burger King says its patties are 100% beef, so it would only seem right to take measures to insure that statement is true.
For BK fans in the UK and Ireland, this may mean a brief shortage in the availability of Whoppers and other beef items at the fast food chain. Though we’re sure most of these people would rather go without Burger King for a while than be unsure about whether they are eating cow or horse meat.
dang, and horseburger is so tasty! Where do I go now?
ReplyDeleteAs a child I ate a horsemeat burger at the Delaware State Fair.I don't recall the exact circumstances that enabled the stands to sell it,but I can recall people talking about it.Being 5 years old or so in the late 50's I did'nt think much about it like I would today.My father had one also.We both concurred that it tasted like beef.
