1. Tesco replied to a customer who had asked whether they stocked ‘Red Rum’ by saying they would ‘look into the issue and get back to him soon’. 2. In response to the revelation, James Birch wrote on Facebook ‘What next? My Lidl Pony?’ in reference to the fact burgers containing horse meat had also been found in an Irish Lidl supermarket. 3. Jason E Lewis also got in on the act:
‘I got some Tesco burgers out of the freezer earlier aaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnndddddddddd they’re off!,’ he joked.
Traces of horsemeat were detected in beef products sold by Tesco and Iceland (Picture: AFP/Getty)4. Kezia Wallace waded into the humour by saying supermarkets would also cater for vegetarians.
She wrote: ‘I hear that they are putting uniQuorn in the veggie burgers too…’ 5. Making jokes about horse burgers didn’t seem to be beneath well-known figures such as former deputy prime minister John Prescott, who tweeted: ‘I see the Tesco horse burger is the mane news item on Twitter.’ 6. Betting chain Paddy Power didn’t waste any time in exploiting the controversy either and quipped: ‘Why were they testing the DNA in the first place?” Someone found a jockey’s whip in their 1/4 pounder.’
The FSAI analysed 27 beefburger products and found ten tested positive for horse DNA (Picture: Getty)7. The Irish firm also offered odds on what animal other than a cow would be found next in a supermarket burger.
You could get 2/1 for Deer, which was the favourite and and 500/1 for longshot Bigfoot. 8. @brendanwalshy tweeted: ‘Can’t believe that woman was sent to hospital after eating a horse meat burger…… Her condition is said to be stable.’ 9. @stvharry wrote: ‘Warning – your burger may have won the 3.45 at Wincanton-Tesco, Iceland withdraw burgers after #horsemeat discovery.’ 10. @StoneJack joked ‘Is eating #horsemeat really that bad? Let’s put it to the vote. All those in favour say ‘aye’, all those against say ‘neigh’.’

Some others I have shamelessly copied form another forum I frequent:
I canter believe it and I think its going to stirrup a lot of trouble. Fetlocks sake !!!
We are saddled with Tesco's yet again taking us for a ride!
Sat here reading the label on these Tesco burgers and it turns out they're fairly low in fat, but surprisingly high in Shergar.
I'm so hungry I could eat a horse. Tesco, Every little helps.
I've found it tough lately working on the Tesco meat counter....I feel like I'm flogging a dead horse.
I don't see what the problem is, we all need a stable diet.
Tesco are having a mare
Inspector Knacker will be champing at the bit to launch a national hunt for the perpetrators. Bit of a mare for Tesco, to be Frankel.
I wrote to complain and Tesco told me to hoof it!
Hay!..the mane thing is people have lived to tell the tail.
A cow walks into a bar. Barman says 'why the long face ?' Cow says 'Illegal ingredients, coming over here stealing our jobs !!!'
I had a Tesco burger for lunch. Now I've got a bit between my teeth.
My wife just turned up with some beefburgers.That's the horses d'eouvres taken care of!!!
I think my mother in law eats a lot of these burgers, explains why she is a bloody NAG!!
To eat them or not to eat them....that is the equestrian!!!!!
I find this horse meat saga hilarious.
I know it is all about not complying with
what is on the packet.
However, here in Switzerland horse meat
is as common on a menu in a restaurant as
beef or pork. Generally it is also more expensive
and considered a luxury alternative.
I am beginning to understand why my mother always
asks what's the meat is before she eats it over here
sorry I know it's a tad late but I couldn't stop laughing when I heard it so here goes.Tesco are now advertising a new promotion where you buy your petrol and get a free box of burgers, it's called - - - - - - - wait for it - - - - - - - - -" only fuel and horses"
