They only bury the hooves and head of a horse. The rest goes to the meat grinder.

I've had horse meat in East Berlin. It was called "steak". Other than needing a jackhammer to cut through it and jaws of steel to chew it, it wasn't bad.

People who eat horse meat are delicious.

If I wasn't a vegetarian I'd eat it. The benefits are fairly obvious over beef, and there's no reason not to. Cute and cuddly my ass.

A friend of mine once came back from Haiti with this story: he was at the race track, and a horse "broke down" in the middle of the race. The crowd rushed the track and carved it up on the spot, leaving nothing but a bloody patch of mud.

Not saying I believe this, but it's a pretty good story, no?

I remember a Fark thred from a few years ago linking to a journal of some guy's stay in Japan. The guy basically detailed all the insane stuff you can find in Japanese ice cream. One particular flavor's main ingredient was raw horse flesh. Even though I've never been there, I love Japan.

I'd eat it. I'd eat dog if I was in Korea too. What the hell.

I ate it in Fance too, and it is wonderful.
Wish I could get it here.

um...

The neighs have it.

i had zebra once. pretty tasty

i dont understand why some animals are ok for eating while others are not -- outside of taste reasons. all meat is kinda gross if you think about it, i mean its flesh. unprocessed fishsticks ;), and other seafood is particularly slimy and gross

/ tho tasty

Some of my Tongan friends brought horse meat to our after-softball BBQ. It was tough, but tasted fine.

Horse isn't kosher.

um...

My Fried Flicka?

I would eat horse meat. I don't care. As long as it is clean it doesn't matter.

Had some at a bbq once. Yuk.

Horse meat: It's splendidly healthy, and approved by Mr. Hands.

A horse is course of course of course...

/the main course actually

Horse meat: It's farking healthy, with farking half the fat of beef and ten farking times the chloresterol busting Omega 3s. And apparently Gordon Ramsey wants us to farking eat it. You coont.

Actual Gordon Ramsey quote.

Without the horse, there would be no such thing as Western civilization. Some respect please, they and their progeny deserve and earned our respect. In this society, we don't eat horse.

The horse is not kosher because of its cloven hooves, right? If I remember Mosaic law correctly.

I'd hit.. er, eat it.

Temescal "In Belgium, we have smoked horse meat, sliced really thin. It somewhat reminded me of prosciutto, albeit tougher, and with a more pronounced taste."

I came here to post about how i wouldn't mind throwing a slab of horse meat on my smoker and seeing how it came out. If slow cooked horsey brisket came out tender and tasty, then every other part would come out better.

/yes, I'm a bbq addict and damn proud of it
//if you're in SF and want good BBQ, lookup bbq theatre on google groups

Anyone know the nutritional facts of a toddler?

All we are saying
Is give horse a chance

A horse is endorsed as a main course? Of course!

I prefer Pokey the Pony.

At least not without ketchup.

Anyone know the nutritional facts of a toddler?

Not the nutritional facts no, never eaten one.

We've learned through experience however that the average US toddler or yearling yields over 100,000 BTU/kg when rendered for oil.

When he's not busy beating up his junior chefs that is.

We eat horse around here now and then. I live on a Central/south texas ranch. If you pressure cook the meat it is not tough at all. If you slow cook it sealed with a lot of moisture BBQ style in the oven or on a grill it can be pretty tender too.

Either way it does taste quite good(IMHO). Goes great with A1-Thick and Hearty steak sauce.

Does horse go well with A.1?

Actually that was it's number in the Kentucky Derby.

In Japan you can get basashi which is horse meat. It doesn't taste much different from roast beef.

Actually horses have three toes (I think!) and only walk on the middle one, the "hoof". the other toes are small, withered useless things much like the pope's pee-pee.

Just one more creature to include in my quest to sample all the creatures of the world.

Horse meat is fine and all but what i'm really excited for is our first eagle hunting season.

/mmm...tastes patriotic

"A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
Most people interpret that to mean he has lost his kingdom for want of a horse, but actually Richard III is saying...

"Damn this fighting makes you hungry! I could eat a horse!"

If it's herbivore meat, I'd have no problem eating it so long as it was prepared cleanly and in a healthy fashion. I also like pork and other cloven-hoofed animals so long as it's prepared cleanly.

Don't care much for reptile meat. Too chewy.

Predator meat is bad for a number of reasons completely aside from the cute and cuddly factor. Predators are typically high in cholesterol and fats. They also tend to accumulate environmental toxins and pollutions by eating animals lower on the food chain.

I'd never eat cat or dog because I keep those as pets. By the same token, I'd never keep a pet chicken, cow, or horse.

I understand that Giraffe meat is very tender despite being extremely lean. I've never had the opportunity, though.

Yeah, but horse beef is rather stringy.

I don't want to say meat due to... Other implications.

/Implications that are NSFW
//Ew

Agreed, I wouldn't eat the horse before the dog.
