Yay or neigh?; Tesco are now testing all their vegetarian burgers for traces of unicorn; Tesco now forced to deny presence of zebra in burgers, as shoppers confuse bar codes for serving suggestions; To beef or not to beef. That is equestrian; A cow walks into a bar. Barman says, “Why the long face?” Cow says “Illegal ingredients, coming over here stealing our jobs!”; I hear the smaller version of those Tesco burgers make great horse d’oeuvres.
