would you eat horse meat ...

Lots of people are becoming desensitised to the idea of meat as 'an animal' - it's all down to the clinical packs it comes in from tesco!

I've tried horse, dog, snake, bamboo rat etc and can't see a difference between these and chicken or pork since they were all bred for the same purpose.

The mongolian restaurant in Milnsbridge (near huddersfield) does ostrich, kangaroo and crocodile. Oh and quorn pieces which are just as nice!

Just a thought - and I don't get many

It 'may' also have something to do with the fact what we call it? eg we don't say "having a nice pig buttie" or "it's roast Cow for dinner"

Kind of seems a bit more 'unnatural' to say Horse as the image of Red Rum appears as oppose to the generic terms of beef pork and lamb for cow pig and sheep

anyway that was my thought

off for a lie down now - my head hurts!

We could call it cheval meat?

Despite the general anglophone taboo, horse and donkey meat was eaten in Britain, especially in Yorkshire, until the 1930s
