Having spent a few glorious months in London, England last year and
shopping at Tesco, among other stores, for food and other items, I was
blissfully unaware of a horse meat scandal that would erupt months
later. It turns out horse meat was being passed off as burger meat by
European suppliers and made its way to British and French supermarket shelves.
That’s right, I may have unintentionally had some Seabiscuit also
known as Mr. Ed.
But what can you do. I love horses and wouldn’t intentionally eat
one, but in many nations, some suppliers sneak things into products and
fail to disclose it to the public.
A few weeks ago the Queen of England fell sick with gastroenteritis and all I could
jokingly think was did she unintentionally have some horsemeat. Who
knows, but I was only kidding. None of the food I had in
England made me sick. Contrary to what some claim, British food is
quite good.
