Stunned to find Ikea have horse meat in their meatballs. Assumed they were made from couples who had become irretrievably lost in the store.

Depending on which part of the horse they used, IKEA may not have deceived anyone about their meatballs.

Horsemeat discovered in IKEA meatballs. If you buy enough of them, you can self-assemble a horse

You can lead a horse to slaughter but you can't make people think it's beef. #ikea
