No I wouldn't though I have no problems with other people eating horsemeat - but I would not eat them because I have had much loved horses of my own and have emotional attachments to them - like I do with my dogs - and I could never eat dog meat either.
I have also worked with cattle, sheep and pigs but don't feel the same connection with them and am happy eating their meat. It may be illogical but that's how I feel .
Have done. Its good.
And goat, like lamb but fattier.
And ostrich, just horrible. And theres a farm near us that rears bison. They have a takeaway that does superb burgers.
Its all just meat.
I didnt watch countryfile but I dont understand the point about eating horses that would otherwise starve. If the horse has had any unrecorded or unsuitable veterinary treatment it cant be eaten. The starving horses would have to be accompanied by the right passport at the slaughter house and I doubt owners who leave their horses to starve would be that vigilant about their passport.
I have owned horses for decades so couldn't eat one. Its not a moral objection because I dont mind other people tucking in but I have treated too many wounds and seeing bloody meat would remind me of the wounds so it would put me off.
Nothing wrong with horse meat, except sometimes it tastes a little sweet.
I often eat it when I'm back home, you'll see it on a menu as 'viande de cheval'.
Before my wife was as proficient in French as she is now, she'd leave it me to order for her in restaurants.
She expressed a preference for steak one evening in Lille, and I ordered viande de cheval for her.
This was years back, and when she was almost done with her dinner, I said, "You do know that you've just eaten Shergar, don't you?"
She had been saying how much she was enjoying her dinner up till then, but she went bananas when I told her, I think that it was the first time she had called me "un branleur" and got the pronunciation correct!
Yes I have had horsemeat in France, tongue was very tasty, with green beans and a nice gravy. I would eat it here. As Jean says it is sweet, but succulent and meaty as well to me!
When I was in colledge we went on a trip to Paris. On the first night we had dinner at a place that seemed to have only two mains - roast chicken or steak.
Most asked for steak well done, including me, but the staff refused and said it could be medium at most
Good for them. Quite right too. Steaks should be bleu or, if you really insist, saignant. A good steak should have a fighting chance to to get up off the plate and run away before you get your fork in to it.
The tutor joked that it was horse steak but i'm unsure that he was joking because it was a different steak to any i've tried since.
Very, very unlikely to be horse meat in the sort of place that just serves up poulet roti and steak for students. You'd know it if was horse - if only from the price!

Both meats are rather nice to eat.
If anything i'd say it's made a resurgence the amount of times I see it on menus and TV shows.
Yes I have noticed Rabbit being used on Masterchef recently, but it has been out of favour for a few years

I had rabbit once in France. It's nice. Although a few of the girls refused to eat it once they heard it was rabbit.
Tell you what it was better than the spinal cord of god knows what animal that we got a week before.

They must do something with them when they die anyway - glue?
I draw the line at dog, and monkey.
Rabbit tastes just like chicken, I don't get the hate for that either. Rabbit pie an' all, traditional.
I'd avoid pork though.
Bex said it for me.
