In Ireland, it is not in our culture to eat horsemeat and therefore, we do not expect to find it in a burger.”

I have eaten horse meat ,quite normal in europe, but like the US, the UK like horses to ride on but as a french butcher once said "look at the m eat on the hind legs then look at cattle".
Seem the burgers where made in Ireland , it's strange how housemeat was handled in the same factory, bit naughty.
