Adrian@TORQEN Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Has DOG meat been found in our food? New takeaway horror after experts discover 'mystery meat' in a lamb curry Samples of curries and kebabs from six outlets in London were tested The meat in a lamb curry could not be identified as common animal source One burger contained no beef at all other than blood and heart Beef in another dish was found to contain chicken material including blood 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. A BBC documentary to be aired on BBC3 tonight sent samples of curries and kebabs bought from six outlets in London for laboratory tests. 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. This is not the first time that a question mark has been put over the content of the take-out dishes eaten by millions of Britons every day. Just last year, a survey of 20 lamb curries in the West Midlands found all had been bulked up with cheaper beef, pork and chicken. Amazingly, four contained no lamb at all, rather the outlets used either beef or chicken which was hidden beneath a powerful and spicy sauce. 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. The discovery of horsemeat in big brand products sold by supermarkets like Tesco and Asda, together with chains like Burger King and big brands from Birds Eye to Findus, has changed the nation’s shopping habits. The implication of take-out curries in food fraud could also hit the industry hard.

docwra Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 As long as it tastes good, its all that matters. Totally, I was actually saying when all the horse problems came out that the reason they werent looking into kebab meat is that we all know its not from any identifiable creature ......... but it tastes good, regardless of if its dog, cat or monkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I sometimes wonder if I'm from another planet when I read some of the comments on here. Of course it matters. Quite apart from the fact that some of us would prefer not to eat animals we also have as pets, the basic point is that if something says it contains lamb, beef etc then that's what it should contain!

bronzee Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 As long as it tastes good, its all that matters. Perhaps consider the chemicals that maybe in the item to re-produce the flavour. Those chemicals ultimately will have some effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
