I'll have one My Friend Flicka burger with extra pickles.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Believe it or not I'm actually inclined to believe there is pork in the McRib. Maybe not the best cuts of pork, but pork nonetheless. I recently heard that if you track the appearance of the McRib it correlates pretty closely to times when the price of pork has dropped. When you combine the effects of only offering the product when prices for the ingredients are low and the increased demand you create by only offering it as a special item it becomes a pretty big money maker for McDonald's, and, conversely, could potentially become a profit loss if they offered it year round during times when pork prices are higher and probably decreasing its popularity by allowing customers to become passive about its existence.

I honestly don't get the big deal. They sell horse meat here right next to the ham and turkey cold cuts. It's leaner than most other meats. I don't eat it, probably because of my American upbringing, but many European countries don't think twice about it. I can't believe the UK and Ireland are flipping out about it.
Pretty pretty please don't you ever ever feel like you're less than f**ckin' perfect!

I think the issue is that it wasn't disclosed. I've (willingly and knowingly) eaten horse, but I can see why people would be upset to learn they'd eaten horse without knowing about it.

How would you feel if they had made burgers of dogmeat? That's quite common in other cultures too.

I do get that. It would bother me, but I wouldn't call it a SCANDAL. I personally think meat is meat. I don't get how you can comfortable eat a cow or chicken, considering the deplorable conditions they are often kept in, and freak out because you have eaten horse. Horse meat is regularly eaten NEXT door to these countries. It's not done out of poverty. If I accidentally bought cold cuts called Hamburgar (thinking I was buying roast beef) being new to Sweden and ended up with horse, I don't consider it the end of the world. Not that I have ever done that or anything. o_O

I ate horse -- technically pony, I think -- in Iceland, where it's bought and sold, I was told, cheaply and with regularity. It was sauteed with vegetables and was very tasty.

While I'm no fan of Chick-fil-A, my first thought was that it would be hysterical if they now put out an ad replacing their cows with horses encouraging us to Eat More Chick'n.

Addy--I'm not sure if you posted your link in the spirit of information or irony, but I'm pretty sure that we could find a similarly heart-warming, eco-friendly, lettuce-filled web-site for BK, too.

I have to agree with JerseyGirl--the outrage is so arbitrary and hypocritical. Where, exactly, do people think "meat" comes from?

Cows have big, shiny brown eyes just like horsies.

Meat = murder.
