Just horsing around

11/15/2013

Princess Anne has been widely reported in the media today about her views on the value of horse meat becoming an addition to the human food chain. Her Royal Highness' perspective is that if horse flesh had a market value, people would be more inclined to look after their animals – the slightly ironic position being that eating horse meat could actually improve the quality of life for many horses.  

You may well remember the recent furore that surrounded horse meat being discovered in supermarket processed food; how funny would it be that, if after all that fuss, horse meat did actually enter the food chain legitimately (and adequately labelled of course)?

I think Princess Anne makes a good point.  Eating horse meat is a common enough practice in many countries; it could end up being a good value for money alternative to beef or lamb in this country. The supermarkets would just need to price it appropriately and make damn sure not to pass it off as something else.

Perhaps something for the Meat & Livestock Commission to chew over?

The fast food chains could have some fun with horse meat – the Newmarket Burger with fries, the Roast Towcester, the filet o'filly or my favourite, the Big Nag.

I hear John McCririck is unemployed, maybe he could get involved in some advertising?  Well maybe not, that’s an idea that really should fall at the first.
