Non-vegetarians: would you eat horsemeat?

Question

If not, why?

What other meats would you/wouldn't you like to try?

Sugar PIe, would you eat horsemeat if it was wrapped and presented under plastic at the meat counter? That's how it's sold in many places.

Answer 1

Why the hell not? If you eat meat then you should not turn your nose up at anything. Whatever it is it has to die so providing it tastes good (and horsemeat it delicious) then what does it matter?

Answer 2

I would definitely eat it. How can you discriminate between a cow and a horse or any other animal for that matter the way to look at it is if the animal you want to eat eats meat itself then don't eat it however most thing that don't eat meat are safe to eat (so watch out veggies) when a race horse breaks its leg its shot wouldn't it be better all round if that horse was eaten ?? all this was on the telly the other night I cant remember what program though.

Answer 3

I have eaten smoked horsemeat, horse meat sausage and Zebra biltong. All delicious.

Interestingly, Sweden is one of the world's biggest horse eating countries.

There is no meat that I would not like to try but some bits such as brains, I do not like because of the taste and texture.

Answer 4

No, I would not.

If' it's not wrapped and presented under plastic at the meat counter, there is no chance I'd eat it.

Answer 5

sure I'd give it a try. I MAY have eaten dog while in China but they were a little coy about the whole thing and maybe pulling my leg.

Other exotics would include: buffalo, deer, wild boar, snails, frog legs, sea cucumber

Shark meat is good - a nice steak like texture - swordfish is very similar.

Answer 6

I love meat. I would NOT eat horse meat, absolutely not. I wouldn't feel comfortable. I also wouldn't eat any type of cat, dog, rats, etc. ewwwww!

I have always wanted to try shark meat though for some reason.

Answer 7

I'm not sure, I mean it would depend on the meal, for instance if I was in a restaurant and it sounded really tasty then yeah I would do. Besides I don't like to discrimminate between meats :)

Answer 8

i personally wouldnt eat horsemeat not because of how its wrapped ie lovelly to look at nice to ride and generally nice to look at but i dont like beef lamb or pork either but my other half eats all of it and yes he has eaten horsemeat whilst in france .

Answer 9

I would never eat horsemeat, it seems unethical, as they're breeded for racing and sort of as pets.
For some reason I would never eat lamb/sheep/rabbit/goat just wouldn't.
Only eat chicken, beef and pork.

Answer 10

I always have horse meat when I go to France and so do the rest of my family. Those of us who like them also have snails...though I prefer fast food!
