Popular Post ezzra Posted January 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2021 Nothing wrong with horse meat, many countries are using horse meat in their charcuterie preparation, they think nothing when consuming dog meats in many parts of this country but horse meat is a no no, of course, not condoning illegal meat trades, but correctly done horse meat is a good meat... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post harada Posted January 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2021 I ate horse meat a couple of times whilst stuck in Moscow for a few days back in the 1970s ( Aeroflot stuff up ) tasted ok, I didn’t know what type of meat it was until a Russian friend back in Oz told me , it would have to be a few steps up on bats and Pangolin surely. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post puchooay Posted January 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2021 Eaten a lot in Britain during second world war. Other meat was rationed so horse was a substitute meat. I bet nobody complained then. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DaLa Posted January 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2021 Try to get rabbit or some game in the UK, PC brigade only want to eat chicken nuggets. I once went to a restaurant in Rio and there were 16 different meats on the menu..no veg; just a slice of this and another slice of that please. Isn't this because in the west we weren't fed this from when we were born? Just look at the Thais munching down insects as an expensive treat. I personally draw a line at the insect buffet and of course cannibalism. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrules Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) I don't think horse is banned, they see, to have lacked the proper licenses. I doubt you would be able to operate a run of the mill cattle abattoir without the correct licenses either. Having said that, I've never eaten horse and don't intend to start.

soi3eddie Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 I think the story here should be not whether it is horse meat but rather the sanitary environment for processing, storage and shipping. 100 Baht per kilo sounds too cheap for such an exotic meat and I doubt food safety standards are followed. Is it shipped frozen? If not then does it "age" like beef? Could be rank by the time it gets consumed. What about vector for virus transmission? Who knows!

UbonEagle Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 think i remember reading something about a horse racing scene in Korat, which can occasionally lead to an "unwanted" animal situation. Not that i am some vegan animal liberationalist...far from it i love horse racing and 99% of people in the game love their animals and would never partake in that sort of thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of the joke about a guy selling rabbit meat that was actually horse meat. He claimed it was a 50-50 mix. One rabbit, one horse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horse meat forms a significant part of the culinary traditions of many countries, particularly in Europe and Asia. The eight countries which consume the most horse meat consume about 4.3 million horses a year. For the majority of humanity's early existence, wild horses were hunted as a source of protein.

For years, there's been horse meat in hamburgers, lasagnas, raviolis, tortellinis, sausages, prepared spaghetti bolognese, bottled bolognese sauce, chili con carne, shepherd's pie, moussaka, many other “meat dishes,” frozen and not, cheap and expensive.
