I'll try anything but it needs to be a healthy specimen and there needs to be at least one regional dish made from it.
Bull Balls fits that description better than Horse Meat. So I would eat Bull Testicles before I would eat Horse meat.
If it were good, or even good for you. It would have been a meat animal centuries ago.
like dog and cat, there's a reason it's not regional food. Because they are carnivorous and are expensive to raise to adult size harvest.
That's why in some Asian cultures, Dogs are the family garbage disposal. Everyone collectively eats once a year at a festival. Nobody actually raises the dogs with a special diet for this purpose. They eat the left overs and scraps. After growing season they no longer need the dogs, nor can they afford to feed it. so the whole region donates their dogs for the festival feast.
IF I were there on that occasion I might try it. But I wouldn't make a special trip for it nor would I order Dog if I saw it on the menu somewhere.
That festival setting is the only setting I would try it.
Perhaps if people here were made to eat their unwanted pets. People would stop buying them then abandoning them when they got to be a challenge.
Must be a $600 dog. Unless they are eating puppy meat. Ever own a dog? They cost a ton to feed.
A horse is a large herbivore like a cow. It tests about the same as beef.
Why don't Americans eat horses?
Why are horses dogs and cats exempt from food chain? They eat them in China and Korea just fine.
Most horses have had thousands of sweaty asses pounded into their back, permeating the epidermis and infecting nearby t-bone possibilities.
Unridden horses, however, could become a thing...
Why don't Americans eat horses?
Do you eat horse meat?
Horse meat tastes quite good. I've had it in France. It's not common in restaurants and it's almost always a special when the meat is available. The original steak tartare was horse meat. Named for the Turkic Tatars who would tenderize horse meat under their riding saddles before consuming it raw.
You just don't know for sure, your beef burgers might just contain horse meat. I know of a grocery store that sold ground beef with horse in them, and got caught. Yek!
There was a scandal in Europe where authorities detected beef burgers containing horse meat. And selling sick old horse meat not fit for human consumption.
