Honestly I think I'd rather risk mad cow disease. Or switch to Bison meat - that is pretty tasty.

Contrary to popular opinion on this board Europe is a lot more diverse than North America, inlcuding in culinary habits :).
In answer I know the French do, I also know it is illegal in the UK for some reason. I don't really know about the other countries.

The reason eating horses is outlawed in GB is because horses were more valuable than the peasants and the Nobility didn't want the Peasants eating horses. (You notice there's no law against horses eating peasants.) Eating dog meat is legal in GB, as is eating peasants, as peasants and dogs are roughly on the same par in GB.
There was a movement to lift the eating of horses a few years ago but there was concern the Nobility might be mistaken for horses and eaten by the peasants. Frankly, the only way I can distinguish Mister Ed from Camellia Parker Bowles is that Camellia Parker Bowles has a deeper voice.
Perhaps some day GB will throw off the yoke of a monarch, but I doubt it- the very best of the Brits left sometime before 1776 and became the greatest Nation on Earth...the ones who stayed behind are scared of guns, suck their thumbs and cling to their Queen Mommy for protection.

It's not so much that they are afraid of guns, it's just that for so long only persons of quality were allowed to carry weapons that is was finally bred out of them.

We don't; we form our ideas about GB based upon Beatle's posts.

You do realize that Beetle is in fact a gun-owning suped-up Austin Healey driver from central California?

Americans sure do. McDonalds bought over a million in horse meat from Australia a year or two ago.
-
Please say it ain't so, SunKing.
-
It's the only way I like horses, no need to add salt, it is a very salty meat.
And Airhead, I think it's the swans, not the horses.

So in other words Prince Charles is afriad someone might mistake Camilla Parker ,whatever, for a horse hunt her down and toss her in the barbeque.

Oh, c'mon...that was a one shot deal that won't happen again unless China has another Parvo outbreak as bad as the one that drove up the price of Chinese dog meat higher than the price of Australian horse meat back in 2002.
Unless it is absolutely necessary Mickey D doesn't mix horse meat in with the ground beef.

True, they just tear up the rainforests so peasants can raise their cattle dirtcheap.

All animal protein is about the same

Geez....If you can't eat horse how can you eat beef?
I think the horse sausage is pretty good. I haven't tasted it any other way, but it's probably just fine in steaks too..
-
Horse is OK - can be little bit tough, Dog is a bit sweet tasting for me, but it's a warming winter food like lamb or mutton.

My personal favourite was the Zebra steak I ate in Kenya. Eland was pretty tasty too, but I didn't go much on the Giraffe!
:aok
Don't believe me!

hehe, if I was the Euro counterpart of Dago, I'd be getting pretty upset by now. :D You know, bash other countries, but get "holier than thou" when someone bashes his? :lol

Best way to eat horse is raw. Ba-zashi, oishii!

Hedgehog is quite nice and there's a hotel up my way that serves crow pie.

There's a restaurant in the middle of Den Haag that does roast black swan.

I don't think I would knowingly eat horse or dog unless I was starving. Both of these groups of animals have too much personality and intelligence (not to mention virutes like loyalty and bravery) for me to feel OK about consuming.
I'm a little disturbed about the BLM's apparent plan to eradicate the wild horses from America's western states in deference to ranching interests, too.

hmmm .... were will you find Bison meat ?
At least it's pretty rare in France

Spicy smoked sausage with horse meat is called a "salami".
Ever noticed that good salami is red? It's because of horse meat.
There are some nations, nomads, like Kazakhs or Mongols who eat horse meat just like any other.
What follows below is supposed to be a joke:
Two ogres meet, one carries a bag with something moving inside. "What's in there?" - "Look, I carry wolves to the river to sink" - "Wolves? They are human, Kazakhs!" - "Humans my ass! Five of them just ate a horse!"

Its rare here too, but there are ranches that raise them for slaughter. I understand the meat is healthier than beef, and it does taste delicious. I tried a sample at the grovery store once.
Salami does not contain horse meat, according to its definition on foodnetwork's encyclopedia, boroda. I would think the manufacturer would have to label it - I'll look next time I'm in a meat department.
-
Many years ago horse meat was available in the store, raw for those who made their own dog food. A neighbor used to cook it for her dog. Occasionally she had some herself. Once I got to try some roast. Not bad but a bit stringy. Lighter flavor than beef but not unpleasant at all.
I'v eaten buffalo (American Bison) several times. It can be dry but tastes very much like beef. Made into sausage it's very very good.
-
The buffalo steak I had was grilled and seasoned with salt and pepper, and very tasty - much like beef.
You know somewhere I grew up with the idea it was morally wrong to eat horse or dog. But growing up in the farm belt, beef, pork and chicken were all plentiful.

Damm i cant even smell rabbits... Even camels are better
edit ... and father love to eat water-rats
.. im so happy that he didnt manage to buy another kangaroo in last 3 years.

I remember back in the early 70's, there was a beef boycott going on, and a lot of people were trying horse meat as an alternative.
My mom bought several pounds of horseburger, and made patties out of it - IIRC tasted different than beef but not bad. I think she was joking about it not being horsemeat - but "chevelle"(?). Supposed to be the French word for horse or something.
Actually, I prefer Spotted Owl meat over horsemeat.....
-
It's "Cheval" :)

Not too sure about the Kazakhs, but I don't think the Mongols really eat their horses much — partly because they're more useful alive: they're transport first and foremost. I'm sure they'll eat it on occasion, but it's mostly goats, sheep and cattle on the meat menu.
They do however drink their milk, and ferment it til it's alcoholic and drink that and use that to produce a spirit too. So again, a live female horse is more useful than the meat. In fact they drink and use the milk of all of "the five animals": horse, camel, cattle, goats & sheep.
I do know this, though: those Kazakh buggers put salt in their tea. A very nasty surprise of a morning, a big warm bowl of milky tea that turns out to have salt instead of sugar in it.
You have been warned.
