In the UK, some supermarkets have admitted that there is horse meat in their home-cooked burgers. Even places like Burger King have had to admit that there are "small amounts" of horse meat in their burgers.
Tesco is a big supermarket chain in the UK. Within hours of the news that
Tesco's 'all beef hamburgers' contained 30% horse meat, the following quips hit
the Internet:
I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse. Thanks, Tesco!
Does anyone want a burger from Tesco? Yay or neigh?
Not entirely sure how Tesco is going to get over this hurdle.
Had some burgers from Tesco for supper last night. I still have a bit between
my teeth.
A woman has been taken into hospital after eating horse meat burgers from
Tesco. Her condition is listed as stable.
"I've just checked the Tesco burgers in my freezer ... "AND THEY'RE
OFF!"
Tesco is now forced to deny the presence of zebra in burgers, as shoppers
confuse barcodes for serving suggestions.
I said to my spouse, "These Tesco burgers give me the trots...”
"To beef or not to beef, that is equestrian.”
A cow walks into a bar. The barman says, "Why the long face?” Cow says,
"Illegal ingredients are coming over here stealing our jobs!"
I hear the smaller version of those Tesco burgers make great horse d'oeuvres.
These Tesco burger jokes are going on a bit. Talk about flogging a dead horse.
Since they're selling the meat wrapped in plastic, is that technically a
"Trojan Horse?"
Instead of choosing ‘Rare, Medium or Well Done’, it's now ‘Win, Place or Show’.
At first, I thought, "Oh great, I've been saddled with another email to forward, but something spurred me to do it.”
Just to clarify horse meat found in a small number of meat products a few years ago was a scandal at the time and is not a stable occurrence.
