When I was a little kid there was a place downtown call Jet Burgers. Shut down after a few years for using horse meat. Tasted good and was cheap.
Some years ago, on Utah, I went to a restaurant that was known for having "great" steaks. Good beef was hard to come by there; I was accustomed to feed lot finished beef having come from the Chicago area. The place advertised that it raised the cattle on the same land as the restaurant. The steak was, to my taste, a little "off "looked out at the land from the dining room table and saw only horses, no cattle. Hmm. That’s Maddocks near Brigham City. Not a bad place for a steak. They’re not 5-star though. If you couldn’t find a good steak place, you weren’t looking very hard.
Yours in Liberty,

It is fairly common in Germany and Switzerland, especially in the smaller villages.

The French are horse eating maniacs. In fact they will pay to have live horses shipped to France where it is legal to slaughter and butcher them.

I had it when I was working in Algeria 20 years ago. Not sure I'd buy it today. I'm mainly a beef, chicken and venison person.

Having grown up on a cattle farm with working horses, I can't understand people's romanticizing about them. They are an animal. Nothing else. They have red meat like most any other 4 legged animal. Taste fine.
Do I want to eat a pet? no. Would I eat an animal raised as stock? Sure. That includes dogs and cats. I don't care. Meat is meat.
Of course, there's lots of hunters that won't eat wild game, so it figures there's hunters who won't eat horse too.
Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.

Had zebra in Africa. It was the best meal I had over 11 days. I’d eat a horse.

Guy I used to work with claims to have bought wild horses at auction every year or two and butchered them for personal use. Get a lot of meat for $20 to $30...

Ain’t no such thing as a wild horse in the U.S.
Feral ain’t the same as wild.
P I dunno man... I've known some wild women, but I doubt they were feral.

My close friends family ran a horse slaughtering business.
They sent trucks all over the southwest and west to auctions, brought them back to Lynchburg VA where the slaughter house was.
His mom was full/100% Greek, at that time[70's early80's] you could slaughter it in the US but it had to be going out of the US for sale.
I don't think that you can even slaughter it here now?
He told me that the last couple of years they were in that business they were getting hammered by all sorts of fed/state agencies.
Most of theirs went to Greece.
We ate equine at their house regularly.
