I definitely agree with both of you about knowing what's in your food - I think part of my anger was at the people who blithely said "well nobody should have a problem with eating horse anyway" as if those people on a lower budget have any less right than everybody else to know exactly what is in their food. There is definitely a government/education issue here, too, though I'm glad I'm not the person who has to untangle the whole sorry mess.Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676869975397269197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4362917757776472007.post-64727948040687701562013-03-17T20:44:37.185+13:002013-03-17T20:44:37.185+13:00I always call this Shepherd's Pie too but tech...I always call this Shepherd's Pie too but technically Shepherd's pie is made with minced lamb, in the olden days made from left over leg of lamb from Sunday. But what is in a name when the end result is so satisfying, and I am happy with anything thrown in carrots or peas. <br />And like you like to know what is in my food. Tampering with a hot cross bun recipe as we speak! No sugar and no preservatives - now that has to be good.

Very sad and disgusting what's being passed off through the 'processed' food industry ... all the more reason to have strong regulatory agencies in place, but that's a constant fight with the 'no big government' devotees. Public health and consumer rights are a needed component in gov't, though. So say I!Susan Lindquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04039551683129884367noreply@blogger.com
