I tried rabbit, but didn't get it right. Too much work compared to results.

I like it with rice, if not it has not enough meat in my opinion to make for a full dish, too low meat/bone ratio.

I feel your pain - or felt, until I fell in love with braised rabbit - it's pretty easy to prepare, too.

Eaten rabbit but not horse. My mum has and said it was alright. Not sure why peeps are against eating horses though since it is no different from eating a cow but w/e.
Comment has been collapsed.
even better, the horse was originally domesticated for its meat

Maybe for the emotional value? I don't know, but I mean, I would eat dog or cat if I was served it, I'm not too picky when it comes to which animals I eat.
Fish on the other hand, I hate them.

Would you eat human meat as well if you were sure you would avoid punishment?
Comment has been collapsed.
Welp, apart from the health risks involved on eating human flesh, I don't think I would eat a member of my same species unless my own survival was severely threatened.
But I don't see what your point is.

I think they're talking about the pretty high incident rate factory farms have, and how a finger or two have been known to end up in hamburgers, sausages and other processed meat.
Comment has been collapsed.
Whenever there's one of those accidents the production chain halts and the meat involved is discarded. It's like basic health safety regulations.
Comment has been collapsed.
You give far too much credit to those involved with health and safety oversight.
Comment has been collapsed.
They actually take those things seriously in here. I swear.
Comment has been collapsed.
That's good. It does depend on the factory, of course. But it's a pretty well-known issue.

The US FDA has regulatory measures in place. You can read about the allowable limitations for foreign matter (which can include dead factory workers) here: http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/CompliancePolicyGuidanceManual/ucm074554.htm

Just wanted to be sure, you've said you're not too picky when it comes to which animals you eat, after all. Basically, you're ok with killing and eating those percieved as friends by vast majority (fortunately); for me that's a form of cannibalism as well.

Thanks for confirming that you're not just deluded in one sphere, but instead are a common asshole that didn't deserve responding to in the first place

If that's not a retarded argument I'm Elvis Presley.
But whatever, keep being full of yourself in that high horse of yours. I don't know who's the greater asshole, if the one that asked about meat preferences in a public forum or the person that entered said thread insulting left right and centre.
Cheerio.

Sorry, but you can't say that you perceive some animals as "friends" then call someone else deluded. lol

I would estimate that there is minimal risk consuming human flesh. The risk of prion diseases can be minimized by staying away from the nervous tissues. Heavy metals may be a concern If you're partaking regularly.
Kind of an odd "cut" of meat, but eating placenta can give you a taste. Sustainable too, since it's just going to be thrown out anyways.
kind of off topic

I live in UK and I have never seen it sold (apart from when it was in the whole beef thing) but I definitely would. I don't have rabbit in UK but when I visit my grandmother in France we have it there a lot and it is incredible.

I've eaten horse.
I've also eaten zebra, and kangaroo, and kudu, and wildebeast, and emu, and a whole load of other things
Comment has been collapsed.
Zebra's nice, I don't like eating hunted animals much tho, because if not cooked proper the meat is kindof hard.
I gotta try the other things and see how they are. I wanna try crocodrile too.
Comment has been collapsed.
tastes like snake...which tastes like chicken aswell xD
Comment has been collapsed.
It's probably not due to the way the meat is prepared - wild animals or game animals provide much leaner cuts of meat due to lower fat contents. Lean meat basically means toned/tight muscle groups with low fat content. It's why most people refer to sport animal meat as 'gamey'.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, but I mean, I've eaten things like venison or boar and on stews thoroughly cooked they are not that coarse.
I do know that both wild and sport animals have lower fat contents.

Are you like the descendant of Crocodile Dundee or something?

I just like to try things
I've also had gemsbok, springbok, dove, pheasant, quail, deer, and probably plenty of things I can't even think of right now
probably the two best meats I've ever had are Kangaroo and Pigeon (don't laugh)

Never tried in my life. But i dont have anything against people who eart horse meat.

I don't eat meat. I used to, and I like it. I've never had horse, but have had rabbit. In the past, I would probably have been willing to try, but not today.
Comment has been collapsed.
people bitching about it because a horse is like a dog, a friendship which if eaten would be immoral and wrong
Comment has been collapsed.
Meat's meat, I prefer to not waste an animal if it's already passed.
Now people who slaughter dogs for meat, those guys can go choke on something. A dog bone I suppose.

I'm sad I can't get dog here. Would love to taste it, same as Guinea Pigs.

A horse is a friendship? How? I mean, people don't have horse pets around the house or whatever. Also I don't think you would've met the horse you're eating anyhow, not to mention that's gonna be glue if not...
I'd rather eat it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Domestication implies friendship. Mankind simply has an interesting relationship with horses. Our lives have been more dependent on them than animals domesticated purely for food like cows, pigs, chickens, etc.
We've gone to war with them, used them for work, used them for transportation. So, I suppose some value them more. But really it's just an upbringing.
Not many children books talk about eating horses like they do cows, chickens and pigs. Also, horse meat really isn't all that great given the requirements to raise them for meat. Of course it may not help that most horse meat is from older horses.
Comment has been collapsed.
Eating horses is wrong? What are you even about? Are you saying my upbringing and culture is wrong? Can you be more full of yourself?
Comment has been collapsed.
I know many people who have horse pets just like other people have dogs. Some have it right next to their house in villages and I know some in cities who drive out to villages to see their horses, pet them, train them etc. Those mainly rent a chamber for their horse in stables outside of the city.
In my opinion meat is meat and if you are not grossed out or have ridiculous morales (clearly differs from morals) you can give it a try.

It's okay if it's ground, I can't stand it any other way.
Better than being sent to the glue factory at least, eh Secretariat?

Here we eat horse, but where my gf is from they don't. She gets very angry about it...yet they eat Bambi and little Lambs! (not really...deer and lamb are fully grown)
Comment has been collapsed.
Lambs are rather popular as they don't have as strong flavour as full grown sheeps. Hmm what I really wants is suckling pig however, dunno where I could find one...
Comment has been collapsed.
Lamb is great, specially the small ones, really tender meat.

no horse, yes rabbit.. domesticated rabbit much better then wild. wild rabbit meat is tough, whereas domesticated rabbit is tender. xD

I had it once in Italy, it was alright. I liked it better than cow. I don't really like mammalian meats, and eating horse just isn't a thing in America so I haven't had it again, and probably won't.
I would try rabbit, but I don't really like meat so I doubt I'd like it.
Comment has been collapsed.
Just out of curiosity, not judging or anything. Do you like poultry?
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't mind eating horse. It tastes sweeter than most other meats though, which I guess can be off-putting. It's hard to get in my country though.
I also like rabbit, but I don't like the idea of breeding rabbits for food when there's enough of them being shot to avoid overpopulation in the wild. So I do check the source of that before purchasing.

Haven't tried both, but wouldn't refuse if offered some. Don't recall seeing them being sold in my country.

There is even Horse Milk, and it can act like alcohol, and Horse sausages, and it's normal eating horses in many countries.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumis Horse Milk, in Central Asia, North Europe, East Europe, all this can be normal.

Yea i just found out some of this countries like Canada ,Belgium,Slovenia,Mongolia,Kazakhstan and Italy who consume the most horse meat ...this is really something new to me .

Most of this place (Canada) you can't find horse meat, just the "edgy" food markets on the west coast and in our French province Quebec. Some delis in Ontario carry it too.
They slaughter piles of them in this province (Alberta) every day though, down around Calgary there's feedlots full of them. Most are trucked in from the US, thanks to the animal rights people "winning" and causing them to be stuck in a cattle trailer with no food or water their last few days of life just so they can say they weren't killed in the US.
Kind of like environmental people getting polluting factories shut down here and moved to China, nobody actually wins except in their minds. Guess it's easier that way to pretend they made a difference, or something.

unsure currently, but it was illegal in U.S. from 2006-2011.
and it is still currently illegal to sell dog or cat meat in U.S. except on Indian Reservations. but not to have or consume it, just the sale.

The quality of rabbit meat depends a lot on it's breed. The Netherlands Dwarf rabbit for example? hardly worth butchering, and poor meat to boot. The Flemish Giant on the other hand...
Edit: also i had jello, and I think that's made form horse hooves, isnt it?

I don't think so... except maybe if it was without me knowing it... I haven't had anything unusual - pig, lamb, cow, rabbit, deer, chicken, duck, various kinds of fish... but that's it I think. I mostly live of chicken though, very rarely pork/beef.

Yeah, I mostly eat poultry too on a regular basis. It's the most affordable and leanest meat I guess.

Pretty much the question explains itself. I mean, I've seen a lot of outrage on the internet about horse meat on things, and I kinda thing that it's a pretty good meat.
I mean, I do like some horse burgers and stuff, it's tasty. So I was wondering where the problem is.
Also as a follow up question, what do you think about eating rabbit?
