Have you eaten horse?

[Rack Daniels]

Sometimes it seemed like it!

I don’t get anything at the restaurant the says “special” chicken or beef

Have eaten zebra in Africa and donkey in Italy. The zebra was alright the donkey was really good.

Horse meat- one of the more perplexing American taboos. My brother in law sells a lot of it to Russian immigrants via custom slaughter. I honestly can’t recall if I’ve had it or not, but if not, that’s a shame

 

[Rack Daniels]

I’ve got a Russian buddy, and a Ukrainian buddy. Both worked for us, separate times thankfully. Gonna ask em both. Crazy.


I wonder if I’d have an easier time getting one of these big landowners to let me eat one of their old horses than an elk?

I would eat horse and all the invasive wild ones should be exterminated.

I would also like to try whale. After watching whale wars, it got me thinking that it might be good, plus Id eat it out of spite because of those idiots. My Japanese friend said it's not bad, but it's very hard to find it in the states.

Can someone explain why APRs bison harvest program does not qualify as production?

Can someone explain why APRs bison harvest program does not qualify as production?

I would think because they don't have a planned calv, feed, butcher cycle and the buffalo meat isn't ever making it to a market for retail sale.

You missed an ingredient.

I have eaten horse steak a couple times in Quebec. Once by mistake. On the way in to a remote fishing camp for a week, I grabbed a couple packages of steak at the Grocery store in Quebec where we bought food. I didn’t notice the word “Cheval” on the packaging. We noticed a different texture in meat and figured out what it was after digging the wrapper out of the trash. The second time was at a restaurant near Montreal. With my wife’s permission (horse owner) I ordered the horse steak. The flavor was great but again the texture wasn’t beef.

As a kid I ate dog food on a dare, both dry and canned. Does that qualify?

For the record it was DOUBLE DOG DARE so I had no choice .

What was the texture like? Curious.

All the horse girls I knew could kick the s@&$ out of me…and did. Texas horse girls are another level though!

Had I asked them what horse tasted like would have resorted in my corpse being found (or not) under some cactus in some god for sakin place.

I've had it 2 ways, a Gazpacho and roast marrow bone with toast. It's pretty damn tasty

 

[gouch]

Back when I was a kid you could buy horse meat down at the Piggly Wiggly. I know I ate some, and I guess I liked it alright, but I couldn't tell you what it tasted like now.

It's been a long time.

Would you like to compare and contrast with elk? Doug burghams DOI seems to think we should be having horse bbq.

It’s good, reminds me more of bison than elk though. Comparatively, light colored meat too.

Hmmm, the stuff I had was really dark colored.
Wonder what the difference could be?

I also thought it had a bit of a sweet flavor to it.

Zebra steak was good too.

Ate some when I was a kid. Not something I would seek out on purpose. mtmuley
