I just heard this the other day and it really ticked me off.

1. Who is the government to tell us that we cant eat horse?

2. Every other country in the world considers it mainstream, so why ban it?

Looks like traveling to europe has just one more advantage over the US.

Do yall really find that eating horse is nasty?


Dont like the idea of eating horses?

How bout now?

Kids can't get enough!

Your post sounds like me when I was 13 and playing with frog guts in bio class - just trying to bother people for no real reason.

Why don't you find out if what you heard is true and, if it is, find out the government's reasons? There are lots of things people do in other countries that are banned here.

Oh you were doing it for the same reason I was... to get chicks. Nothing says I like you better than a handful of frog guts.

Good thing I stocked up last week.

Just thought it was interesting. Dont flame.

But I'm assuming you can still eat all the jackass you want?

I'd eat horse. I'll bet it's quite tasty.

 

[syadasti]

I had Zebra in Africa - its pretty good. I bet horse meat is decent too...

Some dog food is made with horse meat. I guess they can eat little children instead?

what did that taste like?
Is there a discernible difference between beef and zebra?

 

[Westy]

I'm hungry enough to eat one right now. I would not eat one that MMike has been near though.

Yes it definitely tastes better than beef, but its been years since I had it. Venison(deer), thomson's gazelle, and zebra are my favorite meats. One might think a zebra and horse taste similar but I think their difference in species/diet/environment would make a difference - I don't know for sure.

When I was living in NZ there was restaurant in the news for serving horse meat (NZ usually only exports it due to its English culture), but I never ate there.

Its all good cause millions of years of evolution as an omnivore can't be wrong though I suppose the over processed food in the US could be though - I never get heartburn when eat in other countries

Truth be told, mack's upset because it'll be harder for him to smoke it now.

 

[TreeSaw]

Never eaten horse, but venison is one of my favorites!

Horse is tasty, young horse is better yet. It's pretty popular in N italy.

Yeah - I remember going by a horse butcher shop in a little town in the Italian Lake District..... should've dropped in and bought some.

I was taken out to dinner in Montebelluna by a vendor and some Nike designers also joined us. Nice place in the country with some foals grazing outside. When it came time to order I chose the horse, specifying that the foal outside looked nice and tender as a joke. The PC Nike folks were horrified by my order and even moreso that the horse was gone from the pasture by the time we left the restaurant. It had been moved to another pasture for the night.

Fries made from rendered horse fat are supposed to the best ever. I'd give 'em a go.

It is *very* tasty. Seems to me that its harder to get *right* than beef, though.

It's more a question of the 'processing' of animals that what the animal is, in my world view.

Basically, mass-processed meats are horror-shows and I don't like the way it's done.

I get my meats from small, local producers. Costs more, so I eat less. Hey, that has a side-benefit - I'm not overweight! Wow! Cool!

Anyway, take a look at the source of the foods you eat - it doesn't take a lot of work to eat healthier and still be omnivorous.

American meat works are so inhumane and unhygienic that a factory operated like that would be closed down and prosecuted under NZ law.
