Horse meat now served in UK

So hungry I could eat a horse!

 

lol, you're a funny. basashi is one of my fav foods here. it's on the table when ever I visit an izakaya:nod:

 

You mean seven of every clean beast, and two of every unclean beast.

 

Post of the week!

Hell I would eat it, I have eaten some random crap from the Chinese food market in my time, horse couldn't be worse than turtle jelly (actually it was damn tasty)

Also, horses aren't meant to be ridden, they are meant to run around in fields doing horsey things. We just decided (probably while drunk) it might be fun/convenient to sit on one and see what happens.

Dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, seals, rabbits, whatever. If you are starving anything is fair game, if I find myself stuck on the side of a mountain for a few weeks with no sign of help and Black Beauty comes trotting along, pass me the hot sauce.

 

How about riding black beauty back to civilization first and then to celebrate your savior bbq it :thumbsup:

 

Hmmm... *rubs chin* but then the meat will be all tough and chewy from the exercise...

Better to make some "B.B. Burgers" for the road and take my time. There's plenty of meat on a horse, no point rushing things.

 

negative, it'll probably fall down. Kill it, make lots of venisin, and use it's dried meat to sustain yourself until you get back to civilization.

 

Which nation you you think slaughters more horses for food? France ? Germany? Nope merry old England. We sell it all to Europe. Personally I wouldn't eat horse meat but then I see them as pets not dinner.

 

Who says you can't eat pets?

I'd eat fish. I've also kept fish as pets...then again I don't think fish have emotions.

 

You've probably eaten more horse meat than you can imagine.

Horse meat tastes sweeter than cow meat.

In my country, whose economy is based on exporting cow meat, when the prices of meat go up, usually horse meat appears in the supermarket under the false pretense of being cow meat. You can only tell by the flavor, and many people don't even notice it.

 

As if animals/pets having emotions is going to stop you koreans from eating them :thumbsup:

 

i went china and they sell just abt every kind of meat known to mankind..

 

Fix'd since I'm not Korean :3

 

Ups, somehow I remembed something like that.. so what are you? :thumbsup:

 

Irish, Scottish, Filipino, with a little Japanese.

 

I've been holding back for long enough on this thread, so I should warn you in advance because this could turn into an epic rant...

What many people are missing here is that in the UK there is a long association with horses in the context of agriculture and sport, but certainly not as some kind of delicacy. There are certain types of animal that we'd never think to consume, with dog, cat and especially horse quite high on this list. I'm not outright condemnding the sale of horse meat in some restaurant where people clearly know what they are paying for, yet I do find it a little unsettling that in other countries it's something that companies are happy to quietly substitute for meat from more socially-accepted animals in the food chain because it's cheaper or more readily available.

Although it's a slightly different scenario, I'm reminded somewhat of a few years back when (again here in the UK) a great level of awareness was raised concerning the use of meat cuts taken from closer to the bone than previous standards deemed suitable, with many well-known products revealed to contain offal. Fortunately, mania over the whole CJD/BSE outbreak and later fear of anything remotely genetically modified forced a change in the whole system.

These days you see plenty looking at the ingredients of their food, and I must confess to joining in with this trend. Still, far from coming across as paranoid at least it shows that some people are genuinely concerned... and if the result of this is companies now having to be more transparent about exactly what they use then so be it! I would be a fool to make any attempt to block the freedom of consumers, though in my honest opinion I can't see many over here tripping over fellow diners for a slice of horse meat.

 

"Assembler games, home of the vegetarian gamers"

Seriously though, it's meat and so long as it's not the meat of a human being I would have it. Why the hell not? What attachment did I have to it in life? None, it's not my horse! I'd not eat my own dog unless we ended up in some post nuclear wasteland and me and my dog were staring at one another with "you or me surviving this" in our eyes. He'd be dead, I'd be satisfied until I found more food.

A very l o n g time ago I ate a slab of horse and it was delicious...

I say the more we get away from knowing the food we eat and just looking at packets rather than accepting that things have to die so that we survive, the more pathetic and unrealistic about our very existence on this planet we become. So stick to tofu if you wish and we'll see who ends up living longer. Probably you, but at least I'll die satisfied rather than pasty faced and tediously boring.

 

some girls love to eat horse. raw..

 

If you are referring to what I think you are referring to... *EWWW* *YUCK* GROSS!

 

Well I guess size does matter to some girls ;p
