In the UK, some supermarkets have admitted that there is horse meat in their home cooked burgers.
Even places like Burger King have had to admit that there are "small amounts" of horse meat in their burgers. So did Tesco, a big supermarket chain in the UK.
Within hours of the news that Tesco's 'all beef hamburgers' contained 30% horse meat, the following quips hit the Internet:
I'm so hungry, I could eat a horse. I guess Tesco just listened!
Anyone want a burger from Tesco? Yay or neigh?
Not entirely sure how Tesco is going to get over this hurdle.
Had some burgers from Tesco for supper last night. I still have a bit between my teeth.
A woman has been taken into hospital after eating horse meat burgers from Tesco. Her condition is listed as stable.
Tesco is now testing all their vegetarian burgers for traces of unicorn.
"I've just checked the Tesco burgers in my freezer ... "AND THEY'RE OFF!"
Tesco is now forced to deny the presence of zebra in burgers, as shoppers confuse barcodes for serving suggestions.
I said to my spouse, "These Tesco burgers give me the trots...
"To beef or not to beef, that is equestrian".....
A cow walks into a bar. Barman says, "Why the long face? Cow says "Illegal ingredients are coming over here stealing our jobs!"
I hear the smaller version of those Tesco burgers make great horse d'oeuvres.
These Tesco burger jokes are going on a bit. Talk about flogging a dead horse.
Since they're selling the meat wrapped in plastic, is that technically a "Trojan Horse?"
Instead of choosing "rare, medium, or well done, it's now Win, Place, or Show"...
At first, I thought, "Oh great, I've been saddled with another email to forward, but something spurred me to do it.

Loved all these, thanks for the laughs.
Smiling. And wondering about our 'beef' products.
Some of these are pretty good, but the Trojan Horse was the best!
So bad, so very very bad! GROAN!
Funny.
A friend of mine was visiting a foreign country and horse meat was on the menu at a nice restaurant where they were eating. He told the waiter he'd never had horse and asked what it tasted like.
The waiter said, "Tastes like dog."
All of these are laugh out loud funny!
These were too funny. In Switzerland, there were odd packages of ground meat in Aldi. As the prices decreased, the meat's quality plummeted. The last pkg on the row looked like dog food.
In parts of the world (Switzerland included) horse meat is part of the menu. Here in CA, we have many shops feature all sorts of foreign meat. In Mexico, we saw a man killing, skinning, and chopping up an Irish setter. Bad, so bad.
Funny! Bar code zebra and testing for unicorn are my favorites.
The most exotic thing I've eaten is ostrich.
Thanks for stopping by everyone. But I have to saddle up and git on outta here right now.
I once worked at a place that a drawing of a zebra on the scanner.
Horribly, wonderfully, groan-ishly...funny!
Kirk - I read the "had" automatically.
Martha - I don't think I could eat horse.
Thanks for the laughs and distraction. Mike!
Cloudia - Any time!
Ha what a great collection of horse puns. You win the blue ribbon.
Lady - Nice pun.
