Would you knowingly eat horse meat?

Shergar, where are you Now?

Can't say I'd be concerned, in fact I'm going to order steak cheval at the very next opportunity!

So, anyone eaten a horse steak, was it any good?

I've not eaten horse (knowingly) yet, but intend to try as soon as I find somewhere that sells it at less than double the price of a good beef steak...

In the past I've eaten:
Alligator
Kangaroo
Emu
Ostrich
Zebra
Eland
Various bok's
Buffalo
Water buffalo
And the more 'normal' unusuals such as rabbit, dear, goat, most game birds etc.
And probably a couple of others I've forgotten about.

Basically I'd try almost any meat.

The early reports didn't refer to horse meat, but horse "DNA" present in these burgers. Which begs the question, WTF? However, if we're talking meat, I'd less worried about horse in my burgers than the pigs lips, ear, testicles and ring-pieces that they are allowed to put into pork pies....yum.

They also said that in some cases the horse meat accounted for 29% of the meat content. SOMeone else then pointed out these were cheap burgers so the general meat content probably wasn't that high anyway, 29% of fuck all is still fuck all.

What I mean to say, the horse meat still wasn't the mane ingredient. We'd have known, people would've got the trots.

Wink

PS: Funnily enough, I had some of the burgers in my freezer, I checked earlier, unfortunately I also checked the sell by date and they're off!

This plus eleventy. I've eaten a good majority of the above mentioned and you can add snake to the list (tastes weirdly like rubbery chicken) eating horse wouldnt bother me and if it was cheap enough I'd happily eat it. I bet its pretty lean meat.

Isn't it ironic that 'hamburgers' is an anagram of 'shergar bum'.

Why? How would you detect the presence of horse meat without DNA testing?

Probably...

My line would be drawn on the endangered list. Despite my varied tastes I don't eat cod, wouldn't eat panda or tiger etc. People? go for it, disease would be my only issue with apes and the like - full blood test beforehand.

While we're at it, what happened to the lumps of gristle that used to come free in slices of bacon?
Haven't seen one for years!

I knew there was something dodgy about those Tesco burgers.

I bought some yesterday and put them in the fridge beside the carrots and when I woke up this morning the carrots had gone.

I'm sticking to burgers thanks.

Why is it disgusting? it's a herbivore, just like cows, so the quality of the meat isn't going to be somehow inferior or anything; in fact, given the general level of care that horses receive, it's likely to be significantly higher. Meat is meat is meat. I really don't get the problem; if anything, it's probably the highest quality meat that Iceland have ever sold Laughing

Not sure, i'd probably try it if I had to before resorting to the abomination that is 'Quorn'

With horses around, you had to know those carrots wouldn't last furlong.

(Got the bit between my teeth now...)

In this country there is a 'potential' problem in that drugs licensed for horses are not ones which should be entering the human food chain.
However there are two slaughterhouses in England taking horses for meat and exporting and importing horsemeat, or selling it here is not illegal.

What is of concern is the total joke this makes of claims about traceability.

The shots on TV news showed boxes being removed emblazoned with the red tractor farm assured logo.
Considering the considerable and costly measures farmers must comply with to be 'farm assured' it seems checks on what happens after animals leave the farm is sadly lacking.

Horse was quite popular during the austerity of the war years as it wasn't rationed.

I've had it before, but only whilst abroad (France). Whilst I wouldn't seek it out, if I was offered it I wouldn't say neigh.

Meet is meet is meet as far as I'm concerned. I'm willing to give pretty much any food a go.

Thumbs Up

I'm a fat bastard with over 40 countries under my ever-expanding belt so, like daemonoid I draw the line at endangered; otherwise stun-it, wipe its arse and serve it up!

One meal in China we had a live lobster in the middle of the table. Slices of sashimi were taken from it whilst its eyes and the like were waving around... Not my choice but part of what was expected in my job at the time. Sad
