I too like quality food, when I can get it. For instance, my absolute favourite cheese is Roquefort (so much so that I'm coining the word Roqueforgasm). Unfortunately, while it is relatively inexpensive as these things go, the value for money represented by the small portion size means that for me it's an indulgent luxury item.
Part of the problem (though not all) with the horsemeat revelation is that it was being sold as beef at beef prices. Maybe if it was sold as the meat it actually was, as a cheap alternative to beef, there would have been less of an outcry - though I'm reminded of the foot and mouth epidemic early last decade, when supermarkets started selling ostrich meat as a delicacy in its own right. It didn't seem to catch on; it seemed to disappear, annoyingly, before I got a chance to try that stuff.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
