I've eaten horse in France back in the early 1980s. I didn't know what it was until after I ate it, but it was actually pretty good - a nice lean meat.
In the '70's my sister bought horsemeat from a butcher north of Vancouver, WA.
ReplyDeleteShe had me over for dinner a few times and served it. Not bad at all. Like you said, very lean.
It's been decades since I was in France, but as I recall they have regular butcher shops that sell nothing but horse meat. "boucheries chevalines", I think they called them.
ReplyDeleteNot as nasty as triperies. Those places are literally gut buckets.
It's not the eating of horse meat that bothers me. Food id food after all. It's the fact that they're killing other people's horses! Kill your own damn horse.

Maybe it's a horse serial killer? Same thing happened her in a bedroom community of Albuquerque. The horse was a national champion at something or other - very valuable animal. Owners came out to feed one morning and found it the same way as the folks did in the article.
ReplyDeleteI had raw horsemeat, which they call "bazashi", in Japan once. Meh.
ReplyDeleteThe killers are not native Texans. Hope Texas justice is applied, these days a bullet or two, since hanging is prohibited.
ReplyDeleteTexas justice is nothing more than a bunch of talk about Texas BS while patting themselves on the back. Nothing more, nothing less.

Horse meat is f#cking bad luck. I bought a horse steak to try it, barbecued it, sat down to eat it and the woman sitting next to me had burped her 1 year old kid and the damn kid threw up on my steak. Total projectile vomiting. Everybody around the table started doing sympathy herking, that was fun, a group herking mad minute. That put me off horse meat to this day.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how it works in Texas, but in Florida it is necessary to medicate horses so that they don't get heart worms. The medicine makes the meat inedible; if you eat it you will get sick. If it's the same in Texas it should be easy to find the horse butchers.
