Food Fraud Hits New Low: Dog Meat In British Curry
Submitted by Michael Krieger of Liberty Blitzkrieg blog,
The food fraud story has now progressed from somewhat humorous with the undersized Subway footlong subs, to the highly disturbing with the revelations of horse meat and fake tuna, to the really creepy with the now potential emergence of dog meat in UK lamb curry. No you can’t print lamb folks, which is exactly why many humans are now eating worse than their pets in the Western world.
A mystery meat, which has defied the best efforts of scientists to identify it, has been found in a lamb curry as part of an investigation into food fraud.
The discovery raises new questions about just what is going into the nation’s takeaways and processed foods.
The meat in a Beef in Black Bean Sauce dish turned out to contain high levels of chicken material including blood, while a burger contained no beef at all, other than blood and heart.
However, most alarming of all was a curry. A spokesman for the programme said: ‘Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, the results came in for an Indian Lamb Curry.
‘It did contain meat, but that meat was not lamb, not pork, nor was it chicken or beef. Not horse, and not goat either.
All of the many tests to date by the lab used by the programme have failed to identify exactly which animal was the source of the meat.
The revelation raises many grim possibilities. There is evidence from Spain, for example, of meat from dog carcasses being processed for use in pet food.
At the same time, a meat cutting plant in Wales has been accused of supplying horsemeat from an abattoir in Yorkshire to companies making kebabs and burgers for hundreds of independent take-aways.
Don’t worry mate, your savior George Osborne will simply create a housing bubble and you’ll be so distracted that dirt will soon taste good. Cheers!

If you didn't raise it and butcher it you will never know.
Savory Deliciousness. I just blew my wad.
Sike!... h_h is just pullin your yank... That's 'Ol Yeller' on the plate there [with a vegetable medley on the side]...
English Shepherd Pie.
Not what you think it is.
Most numbnuts wouldn't know a fucking peppered sirloin strip from a goddamned quarter pounder with cheese...
This is just another cheap attention grabbing 'Man bites dog' story...
Why stop at dog? I understand there are too many humans. Think of the positive eco-ramifications. Hell, they're already fattened up. Could you just see the look on Malthus' face if he found out the human race survived because the population was the food? Darwin would certainly say "only winners get dinner". Anyway I think it's past time to rehabilitate Jeff Dahmer. And as Jeff said just before a black man beat him to death in prison, "I used to eat guys like you for breakfast!!"
Ah, good Ol' British Curried Dog! All we need now is a plate of "chips" to dip in the sauce and we're marvelous.
Up next Rat Vindaloo and Sweet 'n Sour Soylent Green.
I love the look on the dog in the ad being "served" by my browser for this story. Do you think he can read?
Fido. It's what's for dinner.
Soylent Dog.
I thought curry was supposed to be dog meat.
Ofcourse the one meat they've not tried yet has not been tested, human.
Women in butcher shop... "how much is that doggie in the window"
Woof woof!
There's Riot Dog and then there's Diet Dog.
AAMOF, it wasn't a woman to ask that question: it was King Ludwig the Tree of Discworld's Ankh-Morpork city (known to issue royal proclamations on the need to develop a new type of frog and similar important matters) who asked it: "Quanti Canicula Ille In Fenestra". After the question became the city motto ... :-D
--> is it the beans?
---> or the frank?

There used to be a guy that sold sausages outside the tube station near Lester Square. Damn they smelled good. Never could bring myself to try one though since coming out of the tubes, all you can see down there on the tracks is rats jumping and running around... ha ha. We used to call them mousages. Came real close to getting one though. At some point if it tastes good and doesn't kill me, I sort of don't care what it is!
Watch an episode of Survivor man. The kids and I get a good laugh when Les Stroud is so hungry, his reaction to eating Grub worm is like he just bit into a piece of medium-rare fillet at Gibsons.
"The manager of Great Expectations, a food store which sold two Ghanaian rats to the undercover BBC researcher, said: "I don't sell rats, I never sell rats, I don't sell rats."
LOL
It's not "British" curried dog; anybody who would eat anything from a fucking Paki take out is mental in the first place.
sheeple object? I don't think so.

Don't laugh, its only going to get worse.
"I'll have Yorkshire Terrier with Yorkshire Pudding, please."
Would you like fries with that?
Look, let's just get it over with. We all know its inevitable. Open the Soylent Green factory already and start shipping the baby boom generation the second they turn seventy-five.
Old geezers, its whats for breakfast!
how bout a little Poodle on Noodle or a slab of Lab, gives a new meaning to Chow.
Whippet out of the oven and Wolfhound it down
also gives new meaning to the term "doggie bag"
Winner winner doggie dinner!
"English Shepherd Pie.
Not what you think it is."
You mean it's not ground-up Sheep herder ? I always assumed it was.
The collar is just out of view... lol.
Excuse me sir, I'll take another one of them delicious wiener dogs, please...
And some of them franch fried taters too.
Minute steak and minute veggies: When stir-frying veggies from our garden I have been adding a little vinegar and everyone really likes the result. Suprisingly, my homemade vinegar makes the fresh veggies taste even sweeter.
balsamic ~ I hope...
~~~
Also works, mixed with a bit of soy, as a meat tenderizer [quick marinade] for the tougher cuts... As well as blending with the evoo/basamic on the stir fry...
Still ~ I give it a 9.8... [I deduct -.02 to Mrs h_h for having used a square vegetable chopper on the carrots instead of proudly displaying her knifesmanship... Those carrot cuts are too uniform to be 'other']... She still gets high marks, as always, though...
Not balsamic, our vinegar is made from the bottoms of bottles of wine, not from grape juice.
which is the same with 'real' balsamic [from Modena]...
I harvested, peeled, and chopped those carrots with a knife.
Here is the thread with the vinegar procedure.
Started up some swiss chard based on a post a few months ago. Bought some extra seeds for a neighbor who has been trading plants (tomato, basil, peppers, etc.) for stuff I grow in the backyard.
The other day, the same neighbor was over in our backyard area for our dogs to all play. Along with them came a bunch of other people from the area who all have huskies as well (I also have a German Shepherd that the husky pack has sort of conditionally accepted). Looking across the pond at the group of people hanging out, dogs and kids running around, and it just struck me how communities that have been so fragmented come back together. A nice little moment of hope.
Good to hear it! That is swiss chard in the stir fry with the carrots and peas. It also goes well in quiche.
""smokies", a delicacy made by charring sheep or goat with a blow torch"
That doesn't sound bad.
I started a back yard vegetable garden last spring. Everything was going great until I looked out my window and saw my neighbor's dog pissing on everything. I couldn't eat any of it after that. Gave all away to my neighbor.
2 things [no arguments here ~ just shootin' the shit]
~~~
1. Great knifesmanship then... The only time I use one of those vegetable choppers, sometimes, is if I'm trying to get uniformity in size to cut my russets to become french fries [for obvious cooking purposes]... Actually ~ I was just 'prodding' you on that, because with me, even with the french fry cuts, the potatoes were so hard to push through those chopping gadgets I ended up just chopping them myself & have gotten pretty good at getting them fairly uniform... So ~ I believe you...
2. The "aceto" is a semantic issue... On the surface, one might think that the very old 'Aceto Balsamico di Modena' recipe comes from white grapes [which is more or less true]... But it is the aging process & distillation which makes it what it is... [which is not too dissimilar you YOUR process in terms of the ACTIVE components]... Perhaps in 1,000 years you'll have a gourmet condiment named in your honor :-)... [that was a h/t ~ by the way]...
~~~
@centerline
Huskies are notorious 'diggers' [so be careful having them around gardens]... But anyway, 'Swiss Chard' is about the easiest thing to grow in the world, so if IT dies, you might as well start chopping your arm off & eating the flesh if you get hungry...
A good set of knives is a must. Henkels is a good brand. And decent pots and pans like All Clad. Kind of hard to buy expensive stuff like this at first, but it really does last a lifetime (as long as the wife doesn't start prying crap with good knives... dear god.).
edit: Yeah, our husky has to be supervised when he is on the loose! lol. I have an area in the backyard that is fenced and had to bury the wires a foot down and line the edge with big gravel. Little bugger loves to dig.
There are a select few brands of good knives... But in my experience... I'll 100% endorse HENKELS as my all-time favorite [in numerous categories of judging a good knife]... HUSKIES ~ effin diggin fools...
There are premium ranges of Henkel knives from Solingen and from Spain and an International range from China. Personally, I prefer Wusthof.
i still prefer my Japanese shun knives, the sharpest i have ever got if you treat them with care and respect. my grandchildren will still cut vegis or meat with them.
Global is the Japanese Hilux of many kitchens. Henkles and Wusthof are like the Maybach's of cutlery.
The japs are fucking cutting 'sushi' [which isn't fucking even 'Japanese', by orient], or, otherwise, lopping heads off...
~~~
Look ~ the best brands are still 'exquisite' cutlery... But I prefer GERMAN craftsmanship on this... To each his own though [we're dissecting 'shards' of excellence here]...
Really enjoy your posts HH! thx
Geeze I already knew Brit food isn't exactly high cuisine but this really is going to the dogs.
I sincerely hope that is not RAW MILK, you terrorist...
You know it is.
As nutty as Ted Nugent is, I can't argue with his Kill it & Grill it philosphy.
Maybe a silly question, but HH do you adopt?
Funny you should ask. Mrs. Horseman and I were just joking that we should have an EBAY auction for a summer internship program. Think someone might pay to ship their future spouse or child off to Mrs. Horseman's Finishing School? Learn to garden, milk, butcher, cook, make cheese, can, ride horses, trail run, and shoot like a pro. We have a very nice carriage-house for guests and could always use the help.
I have some feet the size of aircraft carriers. I'd love to trade some grape stompin for some cheese makin learnin. ;D
H_H sign me up - do you take EBT?
HH, it probably wouldn't be hard to get a line of people who would help with all your farm work, say 3 days a week, in exchange for room and board. Especially considering the "board" you show pictures of here on ZH.
I suspect it will be easier and easier as GS continues to "do God's work."
We'll be glad to put you up in our home in Central Maryland if you want to exchange tips about chickens, gardening, and making hard cider. Cheers, HH, we always enjoy your posts.
"You didn't raise, or butcher that...."
-The O Man
Very nice HH.
true,
but the pic you put up looks very much like restructured meat w/ some pink slime added for fun
I know you're just joking, but the foto, was, very clearly as h_h indicated, a 'minute steak'...
~~~
My only contention [which is 'semantic'], is the fact that it was elongated rectangular in shape [which 'could' pass as a NY strip ~ but was OBVIOUSLY NOT due to the fact that it was cut thinly ~ only a fucking RETARD would cut a NY strip to, prolly, 3/8 inch as I'd estimate]...
Often, though, 'minute steaks' are basically 'POUNDED' cube steaks [thin meat which is pounded to tenderize... they often end up as 'CHICKEN FRIED STEAKS', which, being a TEXAN, h_h is undoubtedly an expert as to the 'carnal knowledge' required]...
So, in fact, the 'minute steak' admission [which h_h gave earlier], is only curious to ONE DEGREE... That is... Most minute steaks would wind up being a thin cut of the tougher sirloin strip sections [then pounded]... IOW ~ they'd already have the fat caps removed [& in the foto ~ it appears to me that there's about an eigth of an inch of fat cap along 3 sides, which also 'curls in', as expected when grilled, probably on a searing hot iron skillet]... That is FINE...
So my 'POINT', thus, is, I believe 100% of the authenticity of h_h calling it a 'minute steak'... My only curiosity is WHY the fat cap? [I know fat adds flavor & forestalls 'drying out', but, in one minute?]... I ask this as 'CURIOSITY', not as a presumed expert...
not that i can be of any help personally other than to say that for the last 15 years we buy half a cow at a time for the freezer from a friend of ours who raises cows and gets a local butcher cut it for him/us. granted, it all depends how the cuts are ordered; but i have not seen a steak like that except the time when we went out to a steak house (chain) for lunch and friend of mine sent the steak back with a msg to the chef that it was a fake steak made out of restructured meat. i did not know what "restructured meat technology" was at that time; however, there was no admission or denial, my friend was told to order something else on the house. so he ate for free. in any case, i was only joking about the pink slime (mostly in sausages), but not the restructured meat part.
@PA
~~~
I kinda figure you were only 'JOKING'... Frankly [with regards to beef cuts], it's not too difficult to see who is joking & who is not... I can 'EASILY' tell because of all the resident 'bitcoin' junkers that wouldn't know a prime cut of beef from a soylent green hotpocket...
~~~
I'll continue... for now... try to establish a compass on your comments on 'HOFJUDEN'...
If you didn't raise it and butcher it you will never know.

'American' stories have it that they were so mesmerized by the 'american' project of freedom, liberty, truth and justice that they volunteered to surrender their lands for 'americans' to achieve the dream.
Where can you find people like this nowadays? It seems there is a shortage of Indians for 'americans' to keep/start living the dream.

The Chinese Citizenism Communautist Party gave the stinky finger to many Tibetans, Uighurs, and northern Burmese in that story.
Chinese citizenism cuisine is blobbing up globally.
Look on the bright side of life--at least it's not floating pig.
I'm waiting for the real greed & desperation set in, when they start substituting puffer-fish (fugu) for salmon... Until then they're not a proper banana republic.
It's from pygmy horses http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniature_horse
I'd rather eat a dog than a cat , or monkey. Hell you can chickenfry a turd and make it tasty, lots of gravy salt & pepper.
Next thing you know - they are going to tell us that their are lips and assholes in hot dogs...
.
Soylent Green meets Lord of the Flies meets Brave New World meets 1984...so much for the 'fiction' when its in fact - 'the reality'...
talking about assholes...I am still recovering from the tuna article. Spent the weekend canning Bluefin tuna. Lesson learned.
I'd been gorging on "albacore" for a couple days so I spent the weekend with anal leakage....
If I can not see the whole fish then I don't want it. Poor fish market guy thought I was nuts...rather be nuts than to be you with anal leakage...;)
I got a tin can of elephant asshole, there was nothing inside
I have a few sauce and gravy recipes that would make about anything taste great.
No, but ranch dressing would make a french fried turd taste good.
And the EU is calling itself a value-community...
So I guess walking your dog over there really does have a Chinese menu connection.
As long as it tastes good...
Dog meat refers to the flesh and other edible parts derived from dogs. Human consumption of dog meat has been recorded in many parts of the world, including ancient China, ancient Mexico, and ancient Rome.[2] Dog meat is consumed in a variety of countries such as Switzerland,[3] China,[4] Vietnam,[5] South Korea.[6] Dog meat has also been used as survival food in times of war and/or other hardships.[7][8]
The Brits just have to ship the dog curry out to China, South Korea, Vietnam or Switzerland(???) and the problem is solved...
Exports!!
indeed bullish..
Man's best tasting friend...
Where is AnAnonymous to offer his insights on the eternal nature of blobbing-up Chinese citizenism dog wokking?
Isn't it sad when you WANT the troll bastards to pop up they vanish?
Obama likes it. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for Brits!

Nah, it is better to monetize the sale of dog meat in 'american' countries. It is more juicy.
And it frees resources for the 'american' middle class to eat.
If you do not feed dog meat to the others, they might want cow meat, whose consumption come at the expense of the 'american' middle class's consumption of cow meat.
And no servant to the 'american' middle class wants that. A servant wants to please their master, the 'american' middle class.
'Americans' have long answered to Smith's question, why work with this butcher? Because it helps the 'american' middle class consumption.

If your stomach can handle British curry, does it really matter?
If the abattoir is in Yorkshire, does that mean the meat is from those fuzzy frou-frou dogs that the old ladies keep in their purse as they shop at Whole Foods? Because if that's true then I say carry-on. Or carrion. Besides, with a good black bean sauce you could serve week old capybara and it would still taste damn good.
I tried Yorkie, it was a little ruff.

Seriously, it was quite fetching. [moan] I knocked a chopstick off the table, my burger went after it. HEY-O
I had a german shepherd steak, it tried to herd my lamb chops. ZING

I was wondering where all those floating pigs went.
Been there.Happened to me forty years ago in London.
The Alsation tasted quite good ,until the Indian restaurant was raided the next day,
and the remaining carcass was found.
I only eat meat curries I prepare since.
Cats seem to disapear around Chinese restaurants I've noticed.
lol
untold numbers of pets go missing every day. home-made 'MISSING PET' signs go up all over the place, all the time. wonder where all those animals go? wonder no more. chances are you're eating them.
