Whilst in Morzine next week I'd like to try some horse which I know to be a delicacy in France.
Can anyone recommend a horse butcher either in or on the way to Morzine (will be driving).
I've tried the regular butcher towards Le Sherpa but they do not sell it.
I'm thinking of getting a nice juicy fillet and cooking it on the BBQ.
used to be a butcher by the docks in Calais, been a while since i have been near there and no idea what they were like.
Don't bother . Its rubbish !
Stick to cow !
Can't agree with you lucky, I always make sure to get some horse when in France, I love it. You can afford much nicer cuts than you can with beef, so you get a really great steak.

You need to look out for a Chevalier.
Quite a few supermarkets also sell horse meat.
I love it.
I think we asked for cheval when we went into the bucherie mandog!!
IT'S SHIT JUST LIKE THEIR FAUX FILLET
Saleem, stop shouting please 😉

The big Carrefour on the way into Thonon should have horsemeat. My local one does.
Boucheries chevalines are not actually that common, although there is one in Annemasse (and plenty in Geneva), according to Google.

a calm, measured and rational response.. brilliant
Only time I've had horse is from a cheap burger van in the Alps after a days rafting. It was possibly the nicest thing I'd eaten to that point. Like cow but a bit more textured and flavoursome.
FAUX FILLET
If we're going to use the French for "false", can we not also use "filet"?
DIY??
