Princess Anne says we should eat horse meat.

[Pete.]

Apparently the Queen's fuming about it. A Palace spokesman said when she catches up with Anne, she's going to bite her head off

I`ve eaten horse meat in the past and wouldn't have a problem with eating it again.
As with all animals reared for their meat, it`s about their welfare whilst they are alive, and ensuring their deaths are quick, clean ,and as painless as possible?

Maybe a few folk need to think about where all the meat in their tins of cat/dog food comes from?
Or what happens to all the pet/race/stud/working horses go to once they shuffle off their mortal coil?

Given all the foreign jaunts they go on I wouldn't be surprised if all the royals hadn't been fed it at some time or other. It'll come under being served as a local delicacy don't you know.

I'd draw the line at cats and dogs but that's just a cultural thing on my part. If it's part of someone's culture I can't really object. Just as long as they don't want to impose their culture on me

Princess Anne, Sarah Jessica Parker, Camilla Parker Bowles and Leona Lewis are to star in a show about rich, pampered women looking for love.

The show's going to be called Desperate Horsewives.

She says we should eat horsemeat does she?

I remember not too long ago we were all told that we were eating horsemeat, but it was labelled otherwise, so we should do just what we've been doing? (with appropriate labelling and prices)

Ok...

[keggyhander]

Is horsemeat the new Cake?

(Not the BrassEye type of cake.)

[trevor saxe-coburg-gotha]

Yeah - let them eat bute.

Never ate horse myself, my dad assures me a nice horse steak is fucking tasty.

It's a big herbivore, why the fuck wouldn't you wanna eat it??

Just another machine for converting grass, which I can't eat, into meat, which I can.

Tasty, tasty meat.

Got the rest of the story.
She wants debate on eating horse meat for the horses welfare.
For some reason old horses in the past might have been put into the food chain.
Now, following the horse meat as beef scare they are just left to grow old.
So their welfare suffers.

So treating as a foodstuff will mean better care for the horses.

IMHO a bit of lateral thinking there. Strangely, I can see her point and I can also see why it appears to make sense.

I'm just waiting for the counter argument. Hopefully it will be a little more than "Uuurrgghhhh, you'd be eating Black Beauty/Shergar/Red Rum/My Little Pony/etc.".

Gimme gimme gimme!

I'd eat any sort of meat to be honest. Dog, cat, badger, raccoon.... Sod it I'd even eat human aslong as it didn't have a tattoo on it when it was stuck on my plate!

I think we should start eating members of the royal family. Starting with Anne, as she looks so much like a horse.

Wouldnt have a problem eating horse. Eaten lots of other meats people are only recently starting to eat. One of my favorites was ostrich. Its bloody tasty. Eaten snake, crocodile, shark which was like mushy nothing. Really not worth the effort. Kangaroo.

I ate horse a few years ago without realising it was horse. My sister thought it would be funny top order the steaks for me while we were away. Tasted very nice and I didn't have any issue over it.

If we had it here I wouldn't mind as long as the label was correct.

The only meat I won't eat is Bunny or knowingly any animal genitals.

Buffalo, rabbit, kangaroo, springbok.

Not had horse so far as I can tell. Rabbit pate is nice but the roasted rabbit I had at a very nice restaurant tasted a little too strong to me (perhaps because I wasn't used to it), but was otherwise fine.
