A older friend told me during the great one, they ate horse meat. He claimed it was all red meat, and was some what sweet to the taste.
Oh sure that is terrable no doubt, and discusting ---etc. I'm eating eggs right now!!! To the city folks, if ya think chicken eggs come out the chickens ears, you are missing a R in front of the word ears.
I ate dog once while over the pond, It was salted down because there was no refigeration at all. That was a long time ago, and if I remember correctly, was like sucking on a salt stick.
Can any of you sixty year plus guys help me with lost thoughts? I keep thinking NOOK MOM was the young tender (not born) prize food cured in the warm sand. The day before it was born, it was called raw lunch. If it would have not been disturbed or eaten raw, it would have been called a chiken. There are a bunch of us, that argue what it was called, but none of us will throw money on the table as to what the actual name was. Our memories are perhaps not perfect any more.

There are a lot of opinions on this situation... One opinion from the NYT (un-verified):
----------------------------------
The early church did not look happily on pagan practices in England and Iceland, where horse was consumed as part of religious ritual. In the eighth century, Pope Gregory II instructed the missionary Boniface to “tell them not to eat horses and impose severe punishments to who does it, because they are mean and evil.” The Christian prohibition against eating horse flesh (joining those already adopted by Jews and nnalert) held strong in Europe for centuries. It remains an underpinning to the British and American aversion to this day.

Yes, the starving people in Europe decided that horse meat was just as good as cow meat, and consumed it accordingly. After all, when the enemy (German Army) furnished lots of meat on the hoof--what better way to get fresh meat for the family!?
We Americans killed off many horses that the Germans used in their armies, even though they were heavily mechanized! BT-ST, in person! When the enemy was running out of fuel, they took the farmers horses to drag their cannons.
Also--the name-Jerricans, came from the fuel cans the Germans used a lot of. The Americans copied those 5 gallon cans, redesigned them some, and we had them too. The name stuck, though.

Are you talking about baluts? Nastiest dang thing ever eaten by man. Yakkkk.
Couldn't find the OEM names,but....
"Ming Dynasty eggs, fermented eggs, ancient eggs, century eggs, thousand year old eggs, and hundred year old eggs. These are all names for the Chinese preserved (usually Duck) eggs. They are really only about 50 to 100 days old. The eggs are covered with a coating of lime, ashes, salt and rice straw and buried in shallow holes for up to 100 days. The lime petrifies the egg making it look very old. The yolks turn amber to black with a creamy dark green yolk. They are eaten uncooked with soy sauce and minced ginger."

There's certainly no biological reason- its just the bunny-huggers at work. Used to be a horse slaughter house a few miles from here- they did very well, paid about 30 cents a pound, as I recall. Most real horse people would welcome a return to that, as its more humane than just letting unwanted or unusable horses just wither away.

I would have to look it up again, but I believe there are Bible verses against eating animals that do not have a cloven hoof (horse), or animals that have a cloven hoof that do not chew their own cud (camel), wallow in their own filth (pig), eat their own droppings (rabbit), and the list go on.
Rabbit tastes great. Pig is great fried, grilled or baked.
I never had horse or camel only because I have never been offered any.
The reason sale of horse meat is not legal goes back to people trying to pass horse meat as beef. This is a prime example of some people ruining something for every one else.
At this point the USDA would have to be persuaded to come up with a new set of guidelines. Not to mention that we would have to build or designate new slaughter facilities to process them.
I am not against it, but I would like to suggest that the amount of hay, feed, and pasture required to produce a pound of beef is far less than that to produce a pound of horse.

I had some raw horsemeat at a Japanese restaurant in Shanghai. Nothing wrong with it; dark red meat, looks and tastes like beef. My Chinese colleagues were just trying to see if there was something I wouldn't eat. I don't remember what I drew the line at eating, but it was pretty disgusting as I recall.
Well, it seems that you have been sheltered, it is far from the first "ignorant" statement from a bunny hugger, tree hugger, or dichotomic citizen.
I will try to find the article, it was a TV interview where the bunny huggers were protesting.
It is somewhat similar to all of the people that say they want all illegal, non tax paying people to be shipped back to their home land. (Except of coarse the group of illegals that they use to repair stuff, clean the house, etc. They want to keep them because they are much cheaper than hiring legal people to do the job)
As my granny always said, "so many people want their cake and eat it too."

What I observed was a chicken egg that nature planned to hatch (in I think 21 days) or what ever it actualy is. On the day before hatching, it was put down (A WILLING) persons throat, no cooking, no soy sauce, or even pre heated. Perhaps it was for only the wealthy class???
Leffty, I also read some posts, that I was hoping I read to much into. I was troubled to say the least about you and a special blonde. I certianly hope I was in left field (no pun intended) and it was all joking around. I just got bits and pieces, but I wore those type of shoes myself, and like I said--hope it is just joking issues.
Also we have some extra snow up here yet--- if you need some.
The cold here is a pain, yesterday morning we helped a neighboring town with a fire around five AM. I offered to let the pump operator take a warm up break. (He has some major health issues). I was unaware the chief told him to take a truck back to our home town so it would not freeze up. I wish my big mouth would have froze up before I offered. I had tears in my eyes, I was so darn cold. I guess my fingers are going to be ok, they seem good this morning anyway. I spent the larger part of the day in bed with the house so hot, the table cloth was melting. No concerns yeasterday about energy costs at all.

i saw a episode of MASH that had a bunch on Koreans getting sick from some nnalert that was known to work on Americans...ole doc Potter said it was because the nnalert was made using horses somehow and Koreans ate horse meat...whether its true or not i dunno but it makes sense to me.
i aint got no use for horsesany way,shape or form...my 4 wheeler has yet to bite,kick,or throw me off yet.

There are different reasons around the world; such as horses are not considered "Clean Meat" because they do not have cloven hooves and cud chewing. Pig is not a clean animal also.
In the United States I feel we view or was raised to believe the horse is a work animal so you would not eat it.
It would be like selling your tractor this year because you were a little short; and having nothing to plant your crop next year.
Once a horse was worked for years the meat would be stringy and this would prevent you from eating it then.

I've had horse meat and it wasn't bad. Had salami and didn't even know it was from horse. Had lamb yesterday evening for the first time and would rather have horse.

Prior to outlawing horse meat, it was not common, but people ate it. Remember my dad joking with some friends visiting from the big city, that no, we weren't eating horse, but "dead cow." City folks were mortified, until he explained that you couldn't just go out to the pasture and carve off a steak at will off a living critter!

Heard a story long ago of a cook being accused of using horse meat in his rabbit stew recipe.
Cook admitted that the stew recipe was a 50/50 mix; one horse and one rabbit.

That was in Leviticus 11-7 I think but was repealed
in the New Testament when Jesus said It's not what
goes into a man's mouth that makes him unclean,
but what comes out.

As a horse owner, I see nothing wrong with eating horse meat. Eating animals is part of being a carnivore.
I hunt every year and have been known to drag a road kill deer into the back of my truck while six months pregnant :shock:, take it home skin, dress, quarter, and process with my own hands. My point is I have no "issues" with eating meat or the butchering process.
The problem I had with horse slaughter in the US is the lack of regulations around the process, mainly the transportation and handling of the horses during the last few days of their lives.
Horses being slaughter in the US were not raised as livestock and transported as such. For the most part they were unwanted horses that were "gathered" to fill trucks to take to the slaughter house. The only way to make this process profitable is to cram as many horses as fast as you can to fill trucks that were not designed to transport large numbers of horses very long distances to a small number of slaughter houses.
The process for the most part was inhuman, that was what I had a problem with.
With all that said, I am not sure if I could eat a horse, for the same reason I could not eat a dog or a cat, it is just a mental block for me. But I do not begrudge anyone that eats horse meat, or any other animal for that fact.

Would you eat it??
Yesterday saw a doco about an English Comedian in China, his Chinese interpreter took him to a restaurant, The plate was placed on the table, on it was, heard the saying "hung like a Donkey"
well there it was. The Comedian reneged, but when you eat a meat pie, you would have no idea..all depends on the package..
