Pointless Observations: Horse Meat

Day 1,929, 08:08 Published in United Kingdom United Kingdom by DynamoScarlet

Well, after horsing around on Google for hours I came to an amusing conclusion... concerning Europe's newest fascination - horse meat.



♪ Look at my horse, my horse is amazing! ♪
♪ Give it a lick *bluh* It tastes just like Findus! ♪

For example, Tesco's new offer 'Only Fuel and Horses' selling burgers with any petrol, diesel or gas (this offer doesn't actually exist, but if you don't believe me find the store manager at your local Tesco and inquire about it).



And then there's IKEA, I mean seriously!
