" The United Kingdom&amp;#039;s ongoing cultural and ethical battle with the horsemeat scandal reached a new low today with the discovery that pre-packaged lasagna sold by the British household-name brand Findus had been contaminated with it as well, reports the Daily Mail: The firm admitted last night that its products contained up to 100 per cent horse [Editor&amp;#039;s note: !!!], making it the latest in a series of household names to confess to selling contaminated food to unsuspecting consumers. Members of Britain&amp;#039;s Food Safety Agency were also concerned that the meat might contain the drug bute, a potentially carcinogenic anti-inflammatory drug used to treat, well, horses (not people). But it&amp;#039;s baffling how many people thought buying pre-packaged meals sounded like a healthy option in the first place \u2014 despite all this now-sort-of-incriminating advertising (&amp;quot;You can trust us&amp;quot;).  Fortunately, homemade lasagna is never not wonderful. It&amp;#039;s easy to make and mess around with (we once had a recipe for a Mexican version in the magazine); it will actually taste better the next day once the sauce, cheeses, and protein have had time to sit; and \u2014 critically \u2014 it has the endorsement to end all endorsements, from Garfield. Here&amp;#039;s the history of his lasagna love, according to the Garfield Wiki (yes, there are wikis even for cartoon characters):  In Garfield: The Movie, Garfield eats all four boxes of Jon&amp;#039;s lasagna. He also eats it, after falling into a truck of it. In Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties, when Jon is giving the veterinarian Garfield&amp;#039;s things, he requests that she feed him a plate of lasagna every day. After the switch, Jon, Liz, and the Prince go to a restaurant and the prince goes mad when he eats it. At the palace, Garfield helps the animals prepare a platter of lasagna and everyone eats and loves it (until there&amp;#039;s one piece left, which Garfield claims).  You can make your own proper lasagna with with any of these 15 easy recipes. And, from our very own Ryan D&amp;#039;Agostino, you can ensure a 100-percent makeup in your beef by grinding your own:   I have a Kitchen Aid mixer, which, I&amp;#039;m sorry to say, has spent too much time hidden in a cupboard lately. It&amp;#039;s just so big. But now that I have the food grinding attachment, which [Bobby] Flay says he uses at home, I may park it permanently on the countertop. It&amp;#039;s really easy. You give the steaks a rough chop into cubes \u2014 around an inch or two square \u2014 so they fit through the small tube on the grinding attachment. I pushed them down the tube with the handle of a wooden spoon. I experimented with the motor speeds on the mixer. Faster was better, but still the meat didn&amp;#039;t stream out like the spaghetti strands of ground beef you see at the butcher shop. It kind of sputtered out in wormy three-inch lengths. It looked great \u2014 it looked real, far more real than the perfect pink laces of beef that come pre-ground. The fat didn&amp;#039;t disappear \u2014 you could see it beading the meat as it emerged. The Kitchen Aid manual advised grinding meat twice, but I liked it like this.   Sure, that is certainly more time consuming than popping a frozen block in the microwave. But how much is your peace of mind worth? [The Daily Mail] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
