Horse meat burgers a hit in pubs across London

Horse meat burgers are proving to be popular in some London pubs, despite the huge furore this year over the discovery of the meat?in beef products sold in British supermarkets.

One establishment benefiting from the rise in demand for steed meat is the Lord Nelson in Southwark, which is reportedly selling more than 100 a week.

Co-owner Benito Priolo said: ?It?s leaner and denser than beef and points in the direction of liver.?

You can pick up a 8oz burger for ?11 or a special 50/50 offering which has both horse and beef for ?16.

The South London pub is not by itself in trying out the meat either, with Hackney?s?The Three Compasses also serving the burger dish.

It was described as ?very much like beef in texture and ever so slightly gamey? by the pub?s chef, Michael Brown.

The Three Compasses? owner Lauren Johns added: ?All across Europe, horse is considered a high-quality meat.

?We thought it?d be nice for people to try it and realise it?s really nice if prepared and sourced properly.?
