A horse is a horse
Of course of course
And no one can talk to a horse,
Of course
That is, of course
Unless the horse
Is the famous Mister Ed!

Now shut up horse, and get in my belly. A delicacy in France.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_meat

Horse meat is the culinary name for meat cut from a horse. It is slightly sweet, tender, low in fat, and high in protein.[1] For the majority of mankind’s early existence wild horses were hunted as a source of protein.[2][3] It is a major meat in only a few countries, notably Central Asia, but it forms a significant part of the culinary traditions of many others, from Europe to South America to China. The top eight countries consume about 4.7 million horses a year. Because of the role horses have played as a companion and as a worker, it is a taboo food in many cultures. These historical associations, as well as ritual and religion, led to the development of the aversion to the consumption of horse meat. The horse is now given pet status by many in the western world, which further solidifies the taboo on eating its flesh. This avoidance of eating horse meat (and the loss of taste for it) is relatively modern, although it arises out of complex historical and cultural origins.

Canada
Agriculture in Québec seems to prosper under the prohibitions from the United States. There is a thriving horse meat business in this province; the meat is available in most supermarket chains. Horse meat is also for sale at the other end of the country, in Granville Island Market in downtown Vancouver where, according to a Time magazine reviewer who smuggled it into the United States, it turned out to be a "sweet, rich, superlean, oddly soft meat, closer to beef than venison".[12] Horse meat is also available in high end Toronto butchers and supermarkets, most notably in Fiesta Farms in downtown Toronto. Aside from the heritage of French cuisine at one end of the country and the adventurous foodies of Vancouver at the other, however, the majority of Canada shares the horse meat taboo with the rest of the Anglosphere. This mentality is especially evident in Alberta, where strong horse racing and breeding industries and cultures have existed since the province's founding.

I am pretty sure I had it more than once while living in Switzerland and I survived so I would try it.

I ate raw horse in Japan. Surprisingly not as bad as I thought... very tough though.

However, after the first piece I then asked politely if I could cook it, they laughed at me and said of course. Much better cooked.

Pastissada de Caval

http://italianfood.about.com/od/furr.../r/blr0269.htm

Yes, caval means horse, and this is indeed a traditional Veronese horse meat stew, made with Amarone wine and paprika to taste -- the former local, and the latter revealing Austro-Hungarian influences from the period when the Veneto was part of the Austrian empire.

I would totally try it. I don't really get the distinction between cute and non cute animals people make. I guess if you had a pet horse or something that would change it.

Mmmm.... horse.

I'd eat pretty much any animal that had been raised to be food - i.e. fed proper food, raised under gov't regulations, etc.

Hearing that Horse Meat is available in our province makes me want to try some. My wife's pretty sure she had some during her brief time in Africa.

If I can eat some of my soccer team mates after crash landing our airplane in the mountains I can surely eat a horse...

... That may have been a movie, I'll ask my friend Wilson he will know.

I learned in my WWI class that old, diseased horses that died on the battlefield were promptly buried to prevent soldiers from eating them. However, once the sun went down, droves of starving soldiers were usually found digging up and eating the rotten flesh of the horses.

If that doesn't get you pumped for some horse meat, not sure what will.
