from Twitter:

@Freddie_UK: A woman has been taken to hospital after eating horsemeatburgers. Her condition is said to be stable.

@BobJWilliams: I expect this only relates to those mini-burgers you have as snacks. You know, the horse d'oeuvres.

@JohnMoynes: I get all my horsemeat from an independent dodgy butcher.

@DiamondsIRL: Are you in favour of Horsemeat in your burgers? Yay or Neigh?

@GBretman: So horsemeat has been found in TescoProducts but a spokesman says It's botox

@pinkyperfection: I had a tesco burger and now I'm feeling a little horse

@brucel: Those Aldi horse burgers were nice, but I prefer My Lidl Pony

@PaulLewis: Scientist: "Sir, we've discovered horse meat in your burgers." Tesco boss: "Why the long face?"

@PensionsMonkey: There was an old woman who swallowed a horse, she'd been to Tesco, of course.

@elhaydo: Good thing about these horse puns is it's stopped all the sick Jimmy Saddle jokes

I suspect there is insufficient demand so no incentive to import it deliberately.
Maybe a pet food suplier, but not a human consumption (does that mean consuming humans ?) supplier.

[plowter]

Enjoying the nag gags, jno, but it won't last furlong.

[douglas9401]

Well there's an old nag behind the counter in our local butchers.

One way of looking at it - horsemeat is less likely to carry mad-cow-disease

[andypandy]

Yes I have 2 if you want them, one of them broke my toe last week and I thought I would prefer to see them in burgers.

[Mick-Talbot]

For Funks Sake don't stirrup all these horse jokes again.

Some years ago a shop in Bradford sold just horse meat as pet food.
