Reading up on Shallac, it says that it is a resin secretion of an insect that feeds on certain trees, mailnly in Thailand and India.
If you want to go further on the subject of secretions, then add Honey Bees to you list, they drink nectar from flowering plants, then return to the hive and regurgitate it back up into wax cells, the wax is another secretion from Bees. Then we have fertilisers, again mostly secretions from various animals, and some of it has a right pong.

Well, being a cut above the rest of you... :P

I had a personal email today, from the boss of Tesco promising that, just for me, he's going to tighten up on DNA testing and create a website where I can check what's in the stuff I can buy from his store.

You plebs can carry on eating equineburgers...Philip Clarke (my mate) says mine will be full of pure beef...... testicles, nasal hair and earwax.... It's nice to have friends in high places

I think he is refering to the Clown meat reference in the post above his.

He had actually done a witty reply to accymans post about the burger tasting funny.
Some folk might not have understood.

I was looking along the shelves at a local supermarket trying to find a sauce to liven up my Sunday lunch.
Came across one that sounded interesting, supposed to be a rich, tangy and very hot flavour.
Almost bought it but, with all the additives and scandal I automatically checked the ingredients, contains horse radish, I don't know exactly which part of a horses anatomy radish actually is, but I put it back on the shelf just in case!

Just seen some breaking news on Sky "Traces of horsemeat found in US company Taco Bells ground beef"
That'll trigger a stampede to the lawyers

most likely and unlike here these companies will pay for their cost cutting ways.

my personal thoughts are that the people who have shoved horse meat into our food havnt done it by mistake but have done it deliberatly to cut costs and maximise proffits in the hope that if caught can say oops it must have been a mix up somewhere lower down on the pay grade part of teh workforce
