Scott Macmillan does his usual grand demolition job on fantasies about the EU : but one little thing confused me

As a Prague restaurant owner, I do know that ground beef is now much harder to come by compared to two months ago. (As a vegetarian, that’s fine with me; as a capitalist, it’s not.) The reason given by suppliers: New EU-imposed rules require meat suppliers to send weekly samples of ground beef to an outside testing agency, because if you’re buying 100% ground beef, you’re likely serving steak tartare, and you gotta be careful with that stuff.

You mean your restaurant uses commercially produced ground beef for a tartare ? Erkk. Let me know the name of the restaurant so I can avoid that one on the menu. Even hamburger tastes a lot better if the beef is an identifiable piece of cow ground actually at the restaurant.
The rest of the post and the blog is great, so I suppose the only moral of this is don’t eat meat at a restaurant owned by a vegetarian.

Update. Scott is clearly correct in his comments. Apologies.
