Find Ancestors

Help yourself to tea and anything else which you might fancy from the breakfast menu David. :-)

Yes, it can be quite scary when you first start and LOADS of info comes flying back at you. It is not an unusual response to 'back off' quietly into a corner and hide ;-)

Anyway, glad you have found your way back and now know that we are only trying to help.

Hope to see you posting a lot more often in the future.

Hello David... :-D



Gins, apparently horse meat is slightly sweet and very tasty ;-)


When I was in our local (and very good) butcher's this morning, an old chap of 94 grinned and pointed to the homemade burgers......"they won the Grand National" he said. Everyone fell about laughing.

It's not particularly the fact that horse meat is involved, what I find wrong is the fact that the suppliers have been untruthful.


What's in your veggie burger? Well, to start with.......textured vegetable protein, soy protein isolate, soy protein concentrate vegetable gum, maltodextrin, methylcellulose natural flavor 1 , yeast extract 2 , disodium guanylate 3 , disodium inosinate 3 , succinic acid 3 , sodium phosphate 4 sunflower oil, soybean oil, corn oil, niacinamide, iron, ferrous sulfate, B1, B6, B2, B12



Think I'll stick to beef m'self...... :-D

Hello Cynthia :-D

I do like your photo

Hello David, welcome to the mad house


Cyns

How do I know thats whats in my burger, thats what they say, but......................

If they stocked Tesco with a pile of minced beef pies and a pile of minced horse pies, which would be left in the freezer :-0

People have a right to eat what they want, but people also have a right to know what they are eating......big liars What else are they telling porkies about :-|

Thank you David, it's a photo of my late mum.


I googled veggie burgers Gins - just to see what was in them.......but, like you, I do wonder what else we aren't being told. :-S

We dont eat much processed food, burgers are one of the ones we do

Everything else is made from scratch, like the curry we are having tonight, but you have to wonder what the heck is in our food

I will stay glued (not horse glue) to the news, me thinks there will be a lot more revelations to come :-0

Poor 'Boxer' :-(

George Orwell again Ginns ?????;-) - He gets everywhere!!

Dea Xxx

Dea.....I LOVE his books

I have read Animal Farm about 10 times, I love it every time. 1984 is pretty good too, hard to follow if your knackered (poor Boxer!)

What did you think of Homage to Catalunya ?

He doesn't seem the same person when you call him 'Eric' does he??

Dea Xxx

Do you mean Homage to Catalonia? That was about tne Spanish Civil War, not read it though


I do know he looked like Hitler on photos!

Sorry Ginns - I always think of the place 'in the Spanish' as Catalunya !!

'Catalonia' it is, in English !!

I studied the Spanish Civil War when I was taking my A-level Spanish so I found it quite interesting.

Dea Xxx

You little Spanish Numpty ;-)

:-) :-) :-)

I think I will dig out my old copy of 'Homenaje a Cataluña ' and read it again ;-)

Hi David


welcome to the thread.


Hope you return.


we're not all that mad!!!

I remember the horse-drawn milk carts. They were around until at least the late '50s where we lived .......................

I can also remember those with gardens running out to collect the horse's droppings. They would put them in a bucket, add some water, and then later put the manure water on their gardens, especially around the roses. Some people put the droppings around the plants immediately .......... but others considered that this could "burn" the plants.

We moved into a house with a garden in 1951, and Dad was then one of the ones who liked to get the droppings.


I also remember the mess, and the smell, when cars used to drive over the droppings!



I have eaten horse meat, as I have said several times, mainly in the 1940s when Mum used to make a stew out of it

But also as recently as 2005 when we were in Switzerland, and were taken to a restaurant that specialized in "make your own" grilled kebabs ..................... they brought the raw meat and veggies to your table, plus a little stove, and you made your own. The meats available were beef, pork and horse meat. Our host said that the restaurant was renowned for the horse meat .............. so I tried it.

It was delicious.



However, I think the problem is the lack of information in your current situation!
