| Icelandic meat pies... have no meat |
| 2013-03-02 |
| [News24] Here's one they weren't expecting - meat pies with no meat. When officials in Iceland began hearing about horsemeat being secreted into beef products around Europe, they decided to run tests to ensure the same thing was not happening in Iceland. Icelandic meat inspector Kjartan Hreinsson says his team did not find any horsemeat, but one brand of locally produced beef pie left it stumped. It contained no meat at all. "That was the peculiar thing," Hreinsson said in a telephone interview on Friday. "It was labelled as beef pie, so it should be beef pie." Hreinsson said it appeared to be some kind of vegetable matter. He said the mystery pie was traced to a firm in western Iceland and the case had been handed to municipal authorities. |

| #7 It's called 'Welsh rarebit' - the 'rabbit' is a degeneration of 'rarebit'. |

| #1 Never heard of Welsh Rabbit? Michael Quinion writes: "Welsh rabbit is basically cheese on toast (the word is not 'rarebit' by the way, that's the result of false etymology; 'rabbit' is here being used in the same way as 'turtle' in 'mock-turtle soup', which has never been near a turtle, or 'duck' in 'Bombay duck', which was actually a dried fish called bummalo)" - wiki |
