My Little Pony

Hose meat eh?? *munches on garden hose*

@satwnhetafangirl "Tastes like rubber ... with just a hint of faucet water."

@PaxRomana XDXDXDXD

There's HOSE meat in my cow? I know it was a typo, but still XD I was really confused for a second there

Found horsemeat in the flowers I ordered for Thanksgiving. Must be my little Peonies.

@FreyjaRN Flowers? How can meat end up in flowers?

@satwnhetafangirl Sorry. Puns in one language don't necessarily translate well into other languages.

@FreyjaRN um? Could you please maybe explain the joke here? I'm honestly very confused right now..

@satwnhetafangirl It's a word play on My Little Pony and a bouquet of peonies.

@FreyjaRN ohh okay

mmmmmm i love some good HOSE meat. who doesnt like a good mouthful of your garden hose?

I love me some garden hose meat!

I would also freak out if there was hose meat in my meat.

Humon...
You write "hose" once, and I'll assume it's a simple typo, and that you meant to write "horse" and just go on with my day.
You write "hose" twice... and I start seriously wondering if some wacko threw a rubber garden hose into the meat grinder and people ate it...

@Hinoron is the horse meat illegal in Canada?

@Golightly
Not at all (unless of course you're trying to pass it off as beef or something it's not).

Quebec, our largest province, is French descended and very proud of their "French" culture (though the actual French, in France, are not that impressed with Quebec "Frenchness", but that's another topic). Eating horses has been a French tradition for centuries, and there is therefore a significant market for horsemeat in Quebec.
It's not nearly as popular in the rest of the country, to the extent that only a few high-end butchers in major cities will provide it, the lack of demand making it unprofitable to keep in stock for most such businesses.

@Hinoron oh... thanx for the explanation , is it true that the horse meat is illegal because England thinks that horse as a pet? btw how is Prince Harry in Canada?

I don't want hose meat!

Oh I remember that scandal, it was an issue here in Germany too.
For some reason it had something to do with lasagna too? Everyone talked about horse lasagna.
Maybe that's where they first found traces of horse meat. I don't remember the details xP

@Kyasarin and in the netherlands there were horseburgers or something like that?

@TheDramon Recently where I live there was an issue with glass getting into lasagna.

Actually considering how expensive horse meat is, it's a cheap way to eat some, but it's still better to know what you eat.

@MagicRooster never eaten horse meat.

@VanessaLeskinen Me neither, but I would like to taste at least one time... or I already tasted it but didn't know, all those bad food with horse meat that where in cow food was about "all-made food" and don't have any taste except all the chemical things they put in it, it's definitely trash-food.

@VanessaLeskinen
It apparently tastes enough like cow that people can't tell the difference without a thorough investigation of the production process.

@MagicRooster Horse meat tastes better in my opinion as in actually having some flavour. I think it may be because horses actually *move*. Cows and pigs don't.

@Suominoita What do you mean cows don't move, you've seen a charging bull, haven't you? You mean, like they're not nomadic?

@Xordic More like a general behaviour. Sure, bulls can do some moves if they have a reason to. Most of the time they don't. Horses have need to move around a lot just because.

@MagicRooster
Considering that where it is eaten, horse meat is usually considered a delicacy and therefore comparably expensive meat, one probably should try not to think about where horse meat, which was cheap enough to make it financially worthwhile to dilute supermarket meat with it, originated from.

@Sisu
Ah, but they still have horses even in places where people DON'T like to eat horse meat, and horses still die even if they're not farmed specifically to become food.

If the cow rancher's horse dies, what is he to do with it? Bury it? Burn it?
...Or sell it as an extra 500kg of product? He's got the butchering equipment suitable for an animal the size of a cow right there.
