The horse meat scare is ridiculous. I have no issues eating horse or my little pony for that matter.

I think the main concern there was that the horse meat came from uncontrolled sources, and had a probability of containing too many chemical products.

Neither would 40% of British people, I believe a survey at the time said. But not when it's labelled as beef, at a commensurate price, or when it's from a knackers yard and full of the veterinary drug phenylbutazone which is banned in food animals.

I don't know, I think there was a slight issue of "Not Mister Horsey!!!!".
But yes.
The scandal was more of being fed something which totally wasn't what we paid for.

I think it's cool that ancient Norse dudes used to cut a horse's head off and stick in on a long pole, and then aim it at guys they wanted to curse or threaten or something.  Afterwards I guess they would eat it, I dunno.

Anyway do you still do stuff like that?

Back when I did data entry a couple of summers at a hospital, there was a little fleet of Jamaican food trucks based mostly in Harlem that always had one always parked near the hospital (a huge proportion of the nurses there being West Indian).  I'd get their goat curry when I wanted to splurge.  Seemed like a very exotic and daring thing to eat back then for me.

Competing with Derspicy for sputnik sized melon is what it means.

No way.  I'm 7 3/8.  Dunno how someone can be size 9 without being a waterhead.  No offense to MiM of course.

Then you do understand it.

It's not supposed to be funny.  It's a representation of the skill of the comedian if they can make it funny.
