Would You Eat Horse Meat?

    You are aware that animals that are raised on farms are domesticated, right?

    Someone else mentioned horses being dirty. Dirtier than pigs?

    My issue is I have heard horse meat isn't good. But I'll gladly try it.

    From the original article:

    Obviously taste is subjective. But, if the only horses being slaughtered for consumption are horses who are old, and going to be put down anyway, that might explain why some horse meat isn't so great.

    If we were raising horses for consumption -- which really does sound kind of sad to me -- they would be fed a diet designed to improve their taste, they'd have their exercise limited -- that's why it's sad, horses are born to run -- and they'd be slaughtered at a younger age.

    Having consumed thousands of ballpark/arena hot dogs, I'm almost certain that I have.
     
  7. If they made horse bacon - I would try it.

    This depends on whether it tastes like chicken.

    If I had one as a pet as a kid, I am not eating it. That's just how I roll.

    I'm with Beef the Third. I'll eat just about anything. Not sure I'd order horse from a menu, but I'd probably give it a try. I've had rabbit, which is very good. Also ostrich, deer, squirrel, gator, goat (also tasty), bison. I'm making my mouth water thinking about some of those meals.

    You had a pet horse?

    Shit, man. Who needs horse meat when you can eat kobe beef every day?
