missing some food ..

[slim 1,523]

It's funny how touchy Americans are about all of this. We are the people that eat tons of Hot Dogs, Chitterlings, Fried Chicken, Pork Rinds, and even Deep Fried Snickers bars. Not to mention Twinky's, and all kinds of other processed and fatty foods. MSG, anyone? That stuff is so good!

We obviously don't care about the quality of our food. But yet, the idea of eating something that comes from a certain animal grosses us out.

That's part of our mentality. Something doesn't make sense to us, so we don't like it. But yet, all the crazy stuff that we do is OK, and everyone else should just deal with it. Welcome to America!

Been in the meat business for 22 years I can tell you the USDA doesn't allow horse meat to be sold for human consumption here in America. There are several well know slaughter houses here in America who sell horse and buffalo meat to other countries. You can research the web, there is a company in New Zeland who would ship you some horse meat through FedEX. I don't know the cost but I have heard it is very expensive. I have also heard that goat meat taste just like horse meat.

I love goat met especially curried, but I would never dream of eating horse meat. I am too scared of them . I wont say I never will because before I ame to the US I was adament about eating cat well to my surprise a few chinese restauransts serve up cat instead of chicken. Horse in the US are domesticated animals and banned for consumption, goats on the other hand are raised as livestock.

I dont think anyone should knock the thought of at least trying something. It is what I tell my son how do you know what vegetables ( brocolli beans cauliflower etc) tase like if you never try it before. I am not trying to offend anyone this is IMO.

Controversy Over Horse Meat

JME 3584, thank you for information

wow..i found out that so many horsemeat consuming countries in the world:France,Belgium,Italy,Switzerland,Japan

I just noticed that you guys live in a place called Horse Cave. That's ironic!

Yes, eating horse is common in Italy. I know around here there are lots of Italian butchers. Maybe you could ask one of them if you have access?

BTW, what's so gross about it? Many people feel it's gross/wrong to eat veal, or lamb, or even cow or chicken for that matter.
