From a news story today:

The contaminated "beef" in Eastern Europe may not contain horse meat after all!


It may actually be meat from donkeys!

Yum, Yum.

And what does this have to do with aviation? I don't have a clue, but it is one of those, "can't make this stuff up" stories.

I always heard the tenderest cuts come from the ass.

Oh, it'll help assess your co-pilot's navigational skills. If you don't think he can find his --- with both hands, take him for a hamburger in Eastern Europe. If he's a two-handed eater, he'll be showing he CAN.

This may give a new meaning the the $100 hamburger. :eek:

Can someone tell me the real difference between eating horse, mule, donkey or...cow? Other than the psychologial consideration, I can see no difference....

Hi Gerry,

I've only eaten beef out of that "selection". I'd guess that any of those choices would taste the same if they were fed the same diet. Horses, mules, and donkey's tend to be used for work and like elk vs deer they are probably leaner, with a lower fat content. That makes meat tougher and depending on diet a bit more "gamie". One thing I know for sure, it doesn't taste like chicken!

Letting this one go, too - if you guys really want a separate board for non-aviation stuff, start a thread in the feedback board and let me know.
