i trust super markets more than resturants and small local shops on this kind of food.
this is based on if the supplier get caught for not using british beef. they will loose there contract with the retailers.
there will be occansions when things slip through though.
also what makes meat british.
Is is where the animal is born?
where it spent the majority of its life?
where it is slaughtered?
there are a few grey areas and loop holes.

I was reading a report by some American guy not too long ago, he was basically saying that people are having a laugh in the UK&Ireland calling food 'organic'. Theres nothing organic about it.
He was saying we have some of the worst, most processed food bar America - but they have a wide selection of healthy stuff too.
We just have junk.
He said everytime he comes over here, even just for 2 weeks, he puts on a few pounds, despite eating the same diet.

Think I read that too on here, it was from a well known BB'er (cant remember the name), he was saying that he put on more fat here, and that the US meat was better becuase of how the cattle was raised.
Im sorry to say I think he is talking rubbish, the nicest meats I have tasted are Irish and French in this world.

Charles Polquin (sp) I believe also commented on the poor quality of UK food.

I really couldn't care as long as it hasn't got BSE!
Lol I think companies shuld be honest but why bother put asnything on at all. Just call it beef. Puyt a reasonable price tag on it and tell me for sure it hasn't been fed the brains of other cows.
To be honest if anything Briatin has an AWEFUL track record for Beef I think I'd probably feel safer if it came from soemwhere else to be honest.
COWS EAT GRASS NOT OTHER COWS! and it's daft british farming trying to make a quick buck and cut corners that cause one of the scariest foods scares ever. put me off beef for years that did.
In fact f*ck it. Brign on the immigrant beef I want a cow with an accent that won't kill me!
Rant over.

lots of it is imported anyway.
if you shop around there are lots of good place for food.
at the moment the retailers are all going additive free etc
food is going back to being pure.

they you obviously know very little about the way cows are raised, and the standards employed, you have just read stories in newspapers.
every country in the world has fed offal to livestock, not just cows either. its now a thing of the past in this country. the same thing cant be said in other places around the world.
food standards in britain are on par with the best in the world.

Foreign beef usually tastes like beef. Well, Argentinian beef does.
British beef usually tastes of water and the absorbent wrap at the bottom of the packet.
Argie beef all the way for me.

Actually there's alot more to it than that. What a cow eats is reflected in it's quality of meat. Not all cows are fed grass for a start. Then ask yourself about the quality of the soil for the grass.

Just as I was getting over the shock of my local butchers labelling British chops as "Dublin Chops". Now this! African cows as British. Nothing surprises me with these restaurants. Far safer eating at home.

I ate a quorn checken burger the other night and it tasted exactly the same as some of the chicken burgers you get from Sainsbury's and placed like that. Just goes to show that these processed foods are all paste and no meat anyway.

Why is British beef considered quality?
We started the BSE crisis, we had the worst BSE crisis, and we had the BSE crisis longest.
And yet....labeling something British....means it's good?
Can someone explain that illogical juxtaposition?
Personally, I hate all this "British Farm Assured" crap. British meat is no better than anywhere else in the world, in fact based on F&M, BSE etc, it seems at least from those events, much worse. The BFA label seems to just be a clever ploy, whereby marketers have simply told us something is quality for long enough...people start to buy it.
Re: the US bb's article, a culture of litigation seems to keep most things safe over there. We still have ****e loads of apartame in our food, but they don't over there.
