Another pointless thread

At some point I may have inadvertently broadened my diet

I've eaten horse. And zebra, ostrich, buffalo, giraffe, llama and more.

I really don't see the problem.

40 or more years ago I was in the south of France with a group of friends we had driven up from Spain and we were as starving as teenagers get .
Anyway we dived in to a small family run resturant and ordered 'Steaks'
And boy they were the best steaks we had ever eaten, cooked to perfection with butter and garlic ... later that night after a few bottles of the house red my schoolboy French did a bit of translation,,, and yes it was horse ... ah youth....jeff.... PS thinking about it I'd rather eat a horse steak than a supermarket 'beef' burger...

If it runs, walks, crawls, flies or swims, someone somewhere will try it as food

And if you really can't find any proper food you could always eat vegetables!

Apparently, if you don't fancy the horse burgers from the few retailers that appear to have sold them you can try the meat balls - apparently they are the Mutts Nuts

Ok feel free to groan, a lot

I for one would rather be at the top of the food chain and have a choice than wondering what was going to eat me


But it gives a whole new meaning to :-

If god hadn't intended us to eat horses then he wouldn't have made them from meat

I miss 2 days and then have to spend 25 minutes catching up!

As for horse meat..

...I look on eating it as payback for the times they've thrown me when out riding!

My daughter in law is an equine vet. She owns horses, and my son also rides, and has done since he was 7. They have no qualms about eating horse meat.
I try to avoid it, but if I'm served it I don't have a problem with that.
It is quite often mixed with other meat here.

I actually found the fact that the beefburgers contained pork more disturbing as there are plenty of people who for religious and ethical reasons do not eat pig meat.

It's a shame all the 'contaminated' burgers were taken off the shelves, presumably to landfill. I'm sure there are a lot of hungry people who would have appreciate them, horse or not.

I think religion would come into eating burgers, as like eating donner kebabs I think you'd need all the 'insurance' you could get

Absolutely agree.

At the end of the fuss the only people who will be Really Upset are the shareholders

I don't remember seeing a holiday permission form?
