So, who's eaten horse on purpose then?

I have, it was lovely.

I have, it took nearly a day to chew

Stringy! but fine…….at least I knew what I was eating

Me In France. Thought it was okay to be honest.

I’ve got a Lasagne in the freezer I’m umming and ahhing about having for lunch.

had cheval burgers when biking in the alps

they were ok

Yep. Used to live in France.

No … but I would.

Would you not ?

Yes, ‘steak frites’ in Belgian cafes. No problem.
But mayonnaise on chips, now that really is disgusting.

If you’ve ever eaten a steak in France then you probably have.

Yes, eaten it in Italy and France on a few occasions. It’s quite nice but it can be a bit tough if you don’t cook it right.

Yep, plenty of times in France
And Horse Sashimi (Raw) in Japan too

Donkey steak in China. Does that count?

Yup, was nice enough. Would buy it over here too if it was cheaper than beef.

was going to try it while in france, I went to grab a couple of nedsteaks from the supermarket but GF didn’t fancy it.

Yes, in France, veggie now though

Yes, nice enough.

Yes and raw a that.
Offered some at a street party in Tokyo, raw seasoned strips of it, very nice.

yup, lived in france for a while. too tough for me as steak, but minced in burger it was fine.

Oh aye, had them as meatballs with spaghetti in that there Deutschland, they were delicious. If only more places sold 100% horse products…

It wasnt on purpose but it was a damn sight tasty than some “beef” Ive eaten..

I’m a bit surprised that it’s apparently cheaper to raise horse meat than beef. Where are all these horses in fields waiting to be slaughtered?

My brother used to live in Italy where a favorite at his local place was donkey pasta.

Not yet, but I intend to.

a favorite at his local place was donkey pasta.

a whole new meaning to the phrase ‘Nice ass’.

Yes in Sardinia. Quite nice too.

Thought I was being clever ordering it years ago when I saw the ‘steak à cheval’ on the menu 😀

have since had the proper stuff, no big deal, its all meat innit.

Much prefer a slice of Bambi myself though.

Had donkey Ravoili several times in and around Novara in northern Italy. Never ordered horse meat but have been served it on camp in Cameri.

Lived in France, so can only assume the answer is yes. There was a horse butcher at the end of my street in Paris. Didn’t think much of it…now dogs in Korea is another matter…..!

Yep, several times in Sausage in Finland.

Yep, several times in Sausage in Finland.

Had an absolutely gorgeous reindeer stew in Finland. Didn’t know they ate horse there though, always assumed horse was more a France/Italy/Spain kind of thing.

There’s an Edinburgh based restaurant that serves it as a choice in their menu – along with zebra, wildebeest, kangaroo, ostrich and shark.

Om nom nom.

Yup, I have it regularly at a nice little restaurant in Bergamo, Italy. They do a brilliant horse steak and I’ve never had a bad one yet. Sweet, juicy and every bit as nice as beef fillet. And cheaper.

yes, and thoroughly enjoyed it

Used to live in northern Italy so quite often.

I didn’t know that was what I was eating until my Italian vocabulary improved though 🙂

Its a Russian style sausage actually, but they do produce it in Finland. Yes, reindeer stew is one of the dishes the Finn’s, and particular the Lappish are very proud of, Reindeer is a very healthy meat too. They also eat meatballs from bear, through these are considered a delicacy and due to restrictions on hunting bears I have yet to come across them. Looking forward to tucking in when I do though!

Me too and donkey!!

Me! Loved it 🙂

If only I could get it over here….. 😉

Eaten horsemeat in France and Scandinavia. A bit chewy, but tasty. I really don’t know why so many people are up in arms over horsemeat in their burgers etc. It’s really no big deal.

What do they think happens to the faller at the third in the 3.30 at Chepstow?

I tried some in Iceland a few weeks ago, quite nice though the skyr (a kind of cheese/yogurt) I had was a lot more memorable!
