Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who has ate horse meat?? Would you if it were legal??

I would

I'd eat it........

I'd wager that many of the folks here that have been on Safari have eaten Zebra........ delicacy in some parts, so I am told. Can't see much difference.

Have I eaten horse meat?

Naaaay.

Don't start that evolution crap, or you'll have a dozen cuckstrailians derail the thread.

There are Hundreds of the worthless feral nags on the Red Desert in Wyoming that compete with the Elk Deer and Antelope for food and water, kill all the invasive bastards. Dogs need Alpo.

The horse that I have eaten was better than some of the Deer & Elk that some people think is good.

Don`t even get me started on Antelope. Maybe it was who took care of it in the field.

Yep, had it in Germany.

Yep! Our HS got caught serving it once - was actually one of the better dishes those old ladies cold make.

I took a girlfriend of mine to a burger restaurant in Paris. I thought we’d have a familiar meal during our travels but after sitting down I realized that it was horse meat burgers. I wasn’t interested in eating horse that evening so when I found the beef burgers were cheaper than the horse meat I was extra pleased.

I would have no problem eating it if I had to but I wasn’t paying the equivalent of $30-$40 in the early 90’s for a horse burger when a $20 beef burger was what I wanted. I could enjoy horse before goat or rattlesnake but I don’t want to be in the position of having to eat survival food in the first place. 😉

Maybe, if I was hungry enough. First Sergeant Good, German POW told us the Germans offered either bomb killed meat or housemate, and said we always took the horse meat, but it was likely bombed too.

Is eating horse illegal or is it the conditions for the slaughter? Selling meat requires a proper facility and it most certainly requires a USDA inspection. There is no certified horse slaughterhouse in the US any more so there's no way to kill one and get it past an inspection.

I've eaten it. Forgot about it, so... Certainly wasn't eland.

I'm convinced those 'steaks' they served us on Surf n Turf night in the mess halls in ROK were cut from horses. Way too lean for beef and a bit of an off taste.

Only if I was starving. Same with dog or cat.

Horse roast used to be my mother’s favorite sandwich meat. Even in the old country is going out of favor. Shame, it’s the best possible use for 90% of horses…..

Anyone know if you can slaughter for your own use?

with Fava beans And a nice Chianti ?...

Had it in Quebec once, wasn't anything special. Not good, not bad. I ran rodeo for years, bunch of them I'd have been proud to eat. Wife had a barrel horse that I offered to shoot and BBQ many, many times.....

Did when I was a kid.

Yes I've eaten it. Donkey sauage I got from Europe was delicious. The horse meat I had was from an old nag and was not the best. It's quite lean and red in texture and I'm not certain the best method to prepare it but I much prefer wild game or beef to horse. Still I see no reason not to eat it or use it for cat and dog food.

The only thing holding back using horse for a meat product are stupid eco animal rights wack jobs. Those type of people want to castrate and cut the breasts off your children and turn them into freaks but want to save the life of every mangy animal.
