Great Galloping Burgers........





Speaking on RTÉ's Prime Time last night, Martin McAdam of McAdam Foods, at the groundzero (pun intended) of Burgergate said he was unable to explain why meat he had sourced from two separate Polish factories had tested positive for horse meat. Here's a thought Martin.....BECAUSE THEY KILLED SOME HORSES AND CHUCKED THEM IN THE GRINDER! How hard is that to understand?

Jaroslaw Naze, the Polish Deputy Director of the General Veterinary Inspectorate, has said there are no indications that the mixing of horse meat with beef, which was used for burger production, took place in Poland. This is extraordinary.

So, the horse wasn't mixed with the cattle in Poland? Then, logic dictates, it was mixed somewhere else. This is turning into an International conspiracy

With the disclosure that some Findus products were found to contain 100% equus how many end users have been affected?

However, for all you horse lovers, and, as a National Service, here's a guide to cooking the poor creatures (take particular notice of point No.5). ....Courtesy of www.metro.ca

1. Horse meat can be prepared in exactly the same way as beef.
2. Care must be taken when cooking horse meat because it is very tender and requires little time to cook. For maximum tenderness, it is always preferable to sear the meat quickly then reduce the heat until the meat is done.
3. Depending on personal taste, most cuts of horse meat can be eaten pink. Ground horse meat should, of course, be well done.
4. Each cut of meat has its own cooking method: tender and very tender cuts can be roasted, grilled, sautéed or pan-fried.
5. Horse meat has the inconvenience of being extremely fragile so it is easily contaminated, particularly ground meat.
