Did ya read about the scandal in the UK, where horse meat has been detected in supposedly beef products imported from France?

Places such as Burger King have had to admit that there are small amounts of horse meat in their burgers.

Within hours of the news that Tesco, a big supermarket chain in the UK, was selling beef hamburgers containing 30% horse meat, these quips were doing the rounds:

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.

Waitress in Tesco asked if I wanted anything on my burger. So I had £5 each way!

Had some burgers from Tesco for my tea 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 said to be stable.

Tesco are 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 now forced to deny presence of zebra in burgers, as shoppers confuse barcodes for serving suggestions.

Said to the missus, 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, 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.

They’ve found horse meat in Tesco burgers? It’s an unbridled disaster.

A Tesco burger walks into a bar. ‘A pint please.’
‘I can’t hear you,’ says the barman.
‘Sorry’ replies the burger. ‘I’m a little bit horse.’

I selected some burgers on the Tesco website. And then clicked ‘Add to cart.’

I have no idea if my cheeseburger has horse in it. The cheese is mask-a-pony.

I've heard that horse meat will give you the trots!

Makin' me kinda hungry for a Quarter-horse pounder with cheese..

I hear that Tesco is worried that their burger sales will stall.

I spurred my coworkers into going through a Tesco drive through.

Tesco, it's the triple crown of beef.

Tecso, the thoroughbred of beef.

They served Tesco burgers at a riotous birthday party. Everyone was horsing around.

Serve Tesco beef as your mane course.

Now that's a filly-steak, thanks Tesco!

When it was reported that the beef/horse blend was spurred on by economics, consumers bridled.

Stole them all.

It's still far better to have a bit of horse DNA in your burger than some human DNA in your mayonaisse!

You need to bridle your enthusiasm with these horse jokes. Don't mean to nag , but hay.
