Horse meat isn’t bad. It’s not exactly a light meat, awful as sandwich meat, but quite similar to beef, actually.
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.
This looks like something you’d find at Omega Mart
Please tell me that people don’t actually believe this is made for horse meat.
fuck, I’ve been eating them for my horse meat for weeks now dude!
am I going to jail?

I’d try it. 😆
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.
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’s not tough at all. You know how beef tastes like beef? It’s like that, only horse.
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
As someone who’s been to Kazakhstan 25 years ago, you’re not missing much.
What did it taste like? I’m imagining that it tastes a lot like deer
Pretty much. I had really good horse meat sashimi in Japan and it tasted pretty much identical to elk or deer. It was tasty, but not something I’d feel like going out of my way for.
Yeah it’s not far off deer or springbok or kudu or other types of game. Very sinewy. I prefer the others a bit over horse though. Horse tastes a bit more “dirty” to me.
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?
Iirc, It was a national problem. Not just Tesco.
Nobody in the supply chain was being overly cautious about what their suppliers were providing them. Resulting in horse meat being found in loads of places.
So? It’s all wrong. Horses, much like cows and pigs, are capable of feeling love and pain. They are sentient. What difference does it make if it’s horse flesh or cow flesh?
Turns out it was a European problem.

Back when it happened, I didn’t really follow the news properly and thought it was only a German thing.
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

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!
Much as I’d like things to be otherwise, some people needs to be locked up for the sake of public safety. This is one of those people.
There’s an entire YouTube video of him doing this.
Killian is a treasure.
I can only recommend looking up Killian Experience on YouTube.

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.
Are you from Verona by any chance?
Nope
Horse meat is pretty tasty.
I heard from my dad that back in the day some butchers used to pass it off as some cuts of beef. It’s not like they couldn’t sell horse meat, since it’s legal (there’s some health requirements) but beef is supposed to be more tender and tasty, thus more expensive.
It’s just not a particularly desired type of meat, so you don’t see it often at butchers nowadays.
That’s interesting because in fact the only times I had it was as a spread, many many years ago. It’s got this slightly gamey taste, great on toast.
Horse meat is consumed regularly in some Central-Asian countries. From what I’ve heard, it’s lean as hell, moreso than lamb.
I don’t think I’ve (knowingly) eaten it as anything but cold smoked cold cuts. Those are damn good but so is probably any meat
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.
It used to be found in a lot of cheap canned dog food, but now most dogs eat better than I did as a kid.
The Tongans around here used to eat l, and probably still do, eat horse. I was working graveyard with a guy and he offered some of his food. Turns out it was a horse meat dish cooked in milk to tenderize it. It was sweeter then beef, wasn’t bad, but wasn’t great either. At least cooked like that.
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.
I bet horses are way less annoying than cows, too. A nearby meadow regularly has cows, drives me up the walls sometimes (they can be pretty loud, and their frequencies really carry).
Ever taste an Hombre?
That’s how I read it at first…
