One of my good Canadian friends going to BC, and wants to buy some horse meat at a shop there.
Methinks I'll pass on that.

I’d be happy to try it.
Young mare or gelding? I’m sure either fed out well would be decent eating.

The French eat a lot of horse.
I guess they fatten them just like a fat beef......not like a fois gras!

I’ve never eaten one but have always wanted to. Personally I can’t think of a better use for the hay burning bastiges.

Why not. A friend and his brothers wanted to buy an auction horse and butcher it. Nice looking animals often go for $1-200. Money maker if you are crooked enough to sell it as burger.
Their mother got wind of it and put the kibash on that.
Afraid of the chiit storm in the community if word got out.
I offered to buy some steak if they went through with it.

I've eaten horse a number of times in Europe. It was OK, and not really particularly distinctive in taste -- with spices or a sauce, you couldn't tell it was horsie. In fact in 2013 there was a huge scandal in the EU about horse being included in a lot of meat products in which there should have been only beef. This made for some interesting memes: John

I've never had it, but have never understood the aversion to it, Colonel Potter notwithstanding.

I probably ate it when I was a kid. It used to be in all the stores. Just some early political correctness.

Seems like it would be a lot less cost effective per pound than fattening up cattle. Im sure you ranchers have some numbers on that.

I happen to like horses, and would never consider one as food. Maybe if I was starving to death, but that's a bridge I'll cross when I get to it. Until then, beef, pork, turkey, chicken, or fish.

I don't think there is a food horse raising program. More a factor of, "there is meat on the hoof. Let's make it meat on the plate". Very cost effective to take a 1200 pound animal that won't go past $150 Dollars at auction, and turn it into 300 pound of $3/lb burger.

Manager of a big outfit here that is pretty western has roasted up yearling horses for brandings in the past. Usually uses a yearling that got busted up and wouldn’t recover.
