we eat horse (infrequently) where I'm from. If prepared properly it's delicious

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I'm in Japan right now and have seen it available a few times. I just can't bring myself to try it.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I don't get this. I think all animal mistreatment is bad, and I try to reduce how much meat I eat, but I still eat it. I've never understood the attachment people have to horses where they won't eat it. Most people have probably never seen a horse in person, let alone ridden one. I have, and it wouldn't bother me. I'd eat dog too for that matter, and I have had a pet dog and love dogs. As long as they aren't mistreated (which they will be if farmed on a large scale, but that's another issue) then why does it bother you? As far as I'm aware, it's really only an English and American thing, and particularly American.

In addition, I'm assuming you eat cow/chicken/etc? How does their mistreatment not make you avoid eating them? Shouldn't that be more important than what type of meat it is?

I've ridden horses for years, but I don't mind eating horse.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel more kinship with cows than with horses. Cows are fairly intelligent, like regular pack animals. Horses are afraid or everything all the time, it's exhausting.

Of course I eat some cow every now and then, but if I had to choose, I'd eat horses. They're not as worthy.

Come on, you can't say neigh to be a bit of horse

[–] Pat@feddit.nu 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Horse meat isn't bad. It's not exactly a light meat, awful as sandwich meat, but quite similar to beef, actually.

[–] BorgDrone@feddit.nl 1 points 5 days ago

It's a bit too sweet for my taste.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I'd say it tastes closer to kangaroo than beef.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 days ago

Ah, yes. A meat everyone can relate to. Very useful.

[–] fritobugger2017@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Need to do a whole line of those: dogs, cat, human, etc

I'd try them

This looks like something you'd find at Omega Mart

[–] MourningDove@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Please tell me that people don’t actually believe this is made for horse meat.

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

fuck, I've been eating them for my horse meat for weeks now dude!

am I going to jail?

Kazakhstani chips?

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago
[–] Reiea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

I'd try it. 😆

[–] dumbass@aussie.zone 49 points 1 week ago (5 children)

The fun thing is, you've probably already eaten horse.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I have definitely eaten horse before. Many times in fact. Knowingly.

That'll go great with a horseburger, and a horse coke to wash it all down.

I can’t give you a horse unless you order something first!

Much as I'd like things to be otherwise, some people needs to be locked up for the sake of public safety. This is one of those people.

As someone who's been to Kazakhstan 25 years ago, you're not missing much.

Horse meat is pretty tasty.

Fun fact, here around it is quite common to eat horse meat.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 17 points 1 week ago (6 children)

I just ate it, minutes ago. Ground horse meat, mixed with mustard and capers.

🇮🇹

People around me stopped buying Findus not because of the scandal, but because they just didn't taste as good once they changed their recipe.
I can't say if it was the horsemeat, but the ready meals tasted better before. I don't know how to word this without sounding awkward.

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"It was tastier when it was horse"?

[–] JadenSmith@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

That's the general consensus around my friend circles, over the years. It did spawn the short lived joke, "I'm so hungry I could eat a Findus" though.
