Horse meat is pretty tasty.
I heard from my dad that back in the day some butchers used to pass it off as some cuts of beef. It's not like they couldn't sell horse meat, since it's legal (there's some health requirements) but beef is supposed to be more tender and tasty, thus more expensive.
It's just not a particularly desired type of meat, so you don't see it often at butchers nowadays.
That's interesting because in fact the only times I had it was as a spread, many many years ago. It's got this slightly gamey taste, great on toast.
Horse meat is consumed regularly in some Central-Asian countries. From what I've heard, it's lean as hell, moreso than lamb.
It is!
I don't think I've (knowingly) eaten it as anything but cold smoked cold cuts. Those are damn good but so is probably any meat
