I doubt it will have ,made the news in America, but there is currently a huge scandal going on here in the UK. A government department did some spot checks and found horse DNA in a whole load of different burgers and TV dinners. It seems some crooked meat producers have been stretching out beef by adding horse then selling on the minced meat to various big brand name food producers.
I've voluntarily eaten some different bugs, raw fish and some other pretty strange stuff like Eskimo ice cream so yeah. Yeah I would.
In Holland horse meat is eaten and liked, we had a neighbor from there and what she missed was her horse meat, the only thing that ever grosed me out was monkey on a spit looked like a little baby, found some grubs under bark and had me a meal, the monkeys hands looked like a little baby , No Way Hosay. The old cajun
why not? Horses eat better than most beef cattle. I am a member of PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals)
I've eaten a heck of s lot of meat, and a lot of weird game. Never eaten horse (to my knowledge). But probably would (even as a horseman). However, I prefer to know what type of meat I'm eating (in advance).
It's meat. If it came down to it, I'd call it dinner. I've eaten dog before (had a good friend in college from Benguet; it's cultural cuisine for them). Although the idea eating a potential pet left me a bit unsettled, the meat itself wasn't bad at all.
The main problem with mass produced (or illicitly produced) horse is that there is often bute in the meat. That's a function of mostly older-/sicker animals being sent to slaughter.
I'd have to say my answer would be it's conditional. What's the situation, etc. etc.. Regularly though, I'll have to bow out on this one, I just have a feeling it would feel far too much like cannibalism to me with all of the horses I know and have come to love in my time. I must admit though, I have a few horsehide holsters that are some of the best leather I own so I guess I'm a hypocrite at heart. So I'll just stick with maybe.
