so would you eat a horse?

During the years I lived in Germany horse meat was regularly on the menu. No problems. Tasted fine. It was cheap too.

Ach! tongue...

I've eaten horse steaks in the past. Found them very good. Not in the UK though!

Very different from horse (or any other) meat of unknown provenance being illegally substituted into our food though.

I first ate horse in Orleans in the form of horseburger. I like it so much that on my next visit to Orleans I sought out the same restaurant to have another one.

I'd be up for treating the royals nicer if it meant we could have them hickory smoked and served with some rustic bread.

Have done in the past. And would do again. Very nice it is too.

Horse leg would make one hell of a large drumstick.

BOAB did not expect to be saddled with all these puns. We will have to rein ourselves in a bit.

Race horse would be a rare treat. Just trying to catch the f***er for a start.

I would give it a go, however I believe there is a reason why we eat cows, sheep and pigs. It's because they taste the best. If badger meat was very tasty then our ancestors would have found a way of farming them, equally, if horse was first class meat then there would be huge herds of them being fattened up.

In many other countries there's no taboo or horror about eating horses that exists in the UK. It's simply a historic anomaly, in the same way we don't eat cats.

I've eaten horse in France - quite similar to venison.

Given the thread title, I'm just surprised we got as far as Post 8 before someone aired that old chestnut.

Or possibly an old bay

no different than eating beef, lamb or pork so long as they are treated well obviously

Like everyone says, some have, some haven't I cant comment as I haven't had a Pharlap burger, I am not saying horse meat isn't good, its probably better than the meat we eat from Asda or Tesco right now...............but its the thought, everyone will look at every horse and think..........NO and then go on a "Save our horse campaign"..........hossburger wont catch on

I have eaten horse meat whilst in France. I got the trots......
