Just ‘horsing’ around…

Posted on by March 6, 2013
This one just kicked over the giggle box… A couple of times…

From Australia, just hours after the horsemeat ‘scare’ in Europe… Gotta love how quick thinking somebody was…

Just substitute the name of your neighborhood supermarket for Tesco.


·       So do you want a burger from Tesco? Yay or neigh?


·       Not entirely sure how Tesco are going to get over this hurdle.


·       The day they went on sale customers were galloping thru stores jockeying for positions at the meat counter


·       Waitress in Tesco asked if I wanted anything on my Burger.  So I had £5 each way!


·       I wonder who’ll be ‘saddled’ with the ones they can’t sell… and who’s going to ‘cart’ them away?


·       Had some burgers from Tesco for my tea 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 said to be stable.


·       Tesco are now testing all their vegetarian burgers for traces of uni-corn


·       “I’ve just checked the Tesco burgers in my freezer … AND THEY’RE OFF”


·       Tesco now forced to deny presence of zebra in burgers, as shoppers confuse barcodes for serving suggestions.


·       Said to the missus, “I think these Tesco burgers have given me the trots….


·       “To beef or not to beef, that is equestrian”…..


·       This burger story is one HELL of a tail…


·       A cow walks into a bar. Barman says, “Why the long face?”

·       Cow says “Illegal ingredients, coming over here stealing our jobs!”


·       I hear the smaller version of those Tesco burgers make great horse d’oeuvres.


·       Ever since the missus ate one all I’ve heard is “Nag, Nag, Nag…”


·       These Tesco burger jokes are going on a bit….Talk about flogging a dead horse!

And then there was this…

They should stop horsing around, this is a serious issue!  The independent Tesco franchise owners are claiming they were roped into a raw deal – they’ve been saddled with tons of meat, and are afraid to trot it out between the buns, because of the false advertising.  Bridling at the insult, one Tesco owner quipped, “I should’ve known something was up, when the meat prices were so low – they’re a bunch of horse thieves, as far as I care!  We’ll be pommeled by the media!”  The CEO of the partent company, says to “…never look a gift horse in the mouth…”
He believes it tastes just like beef.  He is willing to stand up in the stirrups, take the mane by the long hairs, and ride this one out.
If you tenderize it, add breading and fry it, I hear that it tastes like chicken.  The sliders are made from Shetland ponies, I heard.  The
bronco burger is the crowd pleaser, though.  It only costs a few bucks!

  12. There’s normally nothing wrong with horsemeat, but these were from workhorses, and you can bet they’ve been medicated, with drugs that disgualify them from being food. Such as common cancerogenic meds that horse owners regularly have at hand and pretty much every horse that isn’t bred to be food will have been injected with.
