Come to think of it, horses are worse. I'm rather afraid of them at the best of times, but if one of the lunatic animals gets it into its head that you are the horse-treat fairy, it can be quite an ordeal crossing a field with horses in it. Next time I think I will shout "This one looks tasty, I will ask the HORSE BUTCHER to prepare it for me" in a French or Italian accent. (Just generic "foreign" should do it, I don't think horses are good at accents.)
In the field before you get to the one where those mad cows i encountered were,there's a flock of horses(is that the right term for a group of horses,i'm not too sure?:scratch:) I think i mentioned them in my post last Saturday when i had the cow incident. Anyway,these horses(maybe they're pones?) are quite friendly. You can't actually walk through the field,but as you walk past them when you're in the adjoining field they'll come up to you wanting to be stroked and stuff. These hoses/ponies have long hair on their legs and hoofs. I took a photo of one of their foals last year and showed it to someone who's quite knowledgeable about these things. He told me those horses/ponies are not there as pets. No,they're there for the French and Belgium markets to be sold as horse meat!!:eek:


Damn those bloody foreigners!!!!:gun: :cursing: :ninja:

A friend of mine used to trade in ponies in his younger years. He refused to sell a pony to anyone who he remotely suspected of this practice.

He said there were plenty of people in the trade who did though and made a lot of money out if it.

On about cheaper versions of FB pies. Have any of you tried the 'smart price','savers' etc versions of them? I imagine the pastry to be lacking in fat,which gives it the bulk and for the fillings to me totally.xx(
