...who's decided over the past 48 hours that they'd like to try horse.



Good new exotic meat supplier over at Amazon UK - just search 'Great Exotic Foods' in 'Grocery'.

When I worked picking grapes back in the 80's we were often served up Steak Cheval.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: All of our horse burgers contain horse meat, we do not add beef to our horse burgers.

I think Tesco are missing a trick, they should put those burgers back on the shelf with a sticky label on them which says:

"Now with 29% more horse!"

I have had horse steak, a few years ago, was pleasantly surprised.

Nowt wrong with cheval, it's better for you then beef!! It dose annoy me when people get so funny about eating different animals. If I was given dog, cat or even monkeys boll--ks, I would give it a go.

Quite right, I have eaten some weird & wonderful things in the past, however I would draw the line at an Indonesian favourite a family friend was offered whilst on National Service. The native couldn't understand why when he ate eggs & chicken why he would turn his nose up at embryo
We had horse on a school trip years ago, then went "pony trekking". For some reason 2 of the teachers didn't fancy going, I don't think any of my school chums balked at either the food or the trip

Im definitely going to try it next time we have some friends over.

Sweeter than Beef, tough if not cooked properly, Med rare at the most.

Are there any smoking recipes?

As long as they don't sell any penguin meat they're good with me

(or camel toe come to think of it) - sorry couldn't resist!
