There was a scandal where spicy "beef" meat contained a lot of undecleared horse meat. In addition to the health and trust implications it was especially bad, since people usually don't eat horse meat in the UK (I heard). It's like eating your dog in other places.

It being undeclared is, indeed, a BIG problem. And I wasn't aware of it not being consumed in the UK. Here it's pretty normal. It's also considered a healthy meat. Tastes pretty well.

Thanks for the info. :D
