we eat horse (infrequently) where I’m from. If prepared properly it’s delicious
I’m in Japan right now and have seen it available a few times. I just can’t bring myself to try it.
I’ve ridden horses for years, but I don’t mind eating horse.
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel more kinship with cows than with horses. Cows are fairly intelligent, like regular pack animals. Horses are afraid or everything all the time, it’s exhausting.
Of course I eat some cow every now and then, but if I had to choose, I’d eat horses. They’re not as worthy.
horse meat is illegal? ive eaten horse meat before.
What does it taste like? I imagine it’s tough as hell and tastes like a bland, overcooked pork chop, but with a mild hay smell.
It’s not tough at all. You know how beef tastes like beef? It’s like that, only horse.
Where I come from, South Sardinia, it’s a delicacy; very common. Buy it fresh, very thinly sliced, cook shortly with garlic, Evo oil and parsley. It’s lovely!
it was really tough, i ate it once because my grandfather believed it helps with people with low iron.
“So do beets and iron pills, grandpa.”
“Ain’t the same thing, pussy…”
lol
Tesco horse meat scandal
People around me stopped buying Findus not because of the scandal, but because they just didn’t taste as good once they changed their recipe.
I can’t say if it was the horsemeat, but the ready meals tasted better before. I don’t know how to word this without sounding awkward.“It was tastier when it was horse”?
That’s the general consensus around my friend circles, over the years. It did spawn the short lived joke, “I’m so hungry I could eat a Findus” though.
Didn’t Ikea also have one a while back?
Need to do a whole line of those: dogs, cat, human, etc

This looks like something you’d find at Omega Mart
Kazakhstani chips?
I’d try them
I’d try it. 😆
Ever taste an Hombre?
That’s how I read it at first…
The fun thing is, you’ve probably already eaten horse.
A horse is a horse of course of course and no one should eat a horse of course unless of course the horse is the main dinner course
A lot of Brits have anyway!
I have definitely eaten horse before. Many times in fact. Knowingly.
Yayy, lasagna!
That’ll go great with a horseburger, and a horse coke to wash it all down.
Horse Pepsi okay?
I can’t give you a horse unless you order something first!
I can only recommend looking up Killian Experience on YouTube.

Is horse meat illegal? Why?
In the US at least it’s sort of a legal grey area
We of course have our usual patchwork of different local and state laws, and I believe it is outright banned in some parts of the country
But overall, federally, I believe it’s more of an issue that there’s so little demand for it that no slaughterhouse for horses has bothered to open and go through the necessary USDA inspections and such to process horses for human consumption.
I believe, if you really wanted to, you could go slaughter a horse yourself and feed it to your friends and family and be totally in the clear, but if you try to sell that horse meat anywhere you’d have the USDA beating down your door (not a lawyer, don’t go feeding your friends horse based on my understanding of the issue)
As for the cultural reasons that Americans don’t want to eat horses and why it is outright banned in some parts of the country, I can’t really comment on that. I’d eat a horse and wouldn’t feel the least bit bad about it.
In the US it’s seen as taboo to eat animals that provide labor or companionship to humans, it’s almost like a betrayal. This includes horses, donkeys, dogs and cats.
Not sure. In Begium I’ve seen butcher shops that specialise in horse meat and in Korea there are restaurants where horse meat is served.
I’ve had horse meat in Italy. Nice with polenta.
Yeah, I live in Korea and bring horse jerky back to the US as gifts. Don’t think customs would like finding it though.
For the Cowboys it’s like eating a pet, which is understandable.
Fun fact, here around it is quite common to eat horse meat.
I just ate it, minutes ago. Ground horse meat, mixed with mustard and capers.
🇮🇹
Oh, I did not know it was also common in Italy. I knew about donkey meat in salami. Good to know!
We eat donkey in many different ways, not just salame. Same for horse meat.
Also Mexico. Tacos de caballo are very common here in Baja California.
