Answers:

Yes, as during the second world war, beef was on the ration list, and a few markets in our city specialized in only horse meat.
Tasted a little sweet, grainy and somewhat tough, but not offensive.
The store closed it's doors about 1954, and was the last oe around here to sell horse meat.
Even what we consider the best cuts, will be tough unless cooked like a normal pot roast, low, moist heat and long cooking time.



Certainly. It is available in France and Switzerland amongst other places. You can get Horse salami which is much like normal Salami. Horse steak is actually very good and like the best beef. If it was chewy then it was probably overcooked.

It was eaten a lot during WW2 but now the popularity is waning and many horse butchers (boucherie cheval) are closing down in France.



Not generally eaten in GB but eaten in France, Belgium, Italy and some other Continental European countries. In France donkey meat is also consumed. I have never knowingly eaten it, whether I have ever had it passed off as something else in Europe, well, who knows? I would not choose to eat horse flesh.



I never had eaten any, but it is a very good meat to eat.
It depends upon the cut and how it is cooked.
It is slightly sweet, tender, low in fat, and high in protein.
I believe it is now outlawed in the US but may be allowed to be brought in from Canada and Mexico.



i have a good friend that drinks horse ****, maybe i should ask him what its like to eat a horse... also the bisometric viewpoint of aliens, is at a 45degree angle
therfore, the metronome is like a marmalade, because rabits can't count past seven.



I've had horse salami (the cold cut) and horse bologna in Hungary. Tasted pretty similar to the beef versions but darker in color.



Yes, I tried horsemeat in Japan as it was the speciality of the city I was staying in. I remember it being pretty tasty, although as u say it was chewy too!!



How do you know it was horse meat if they told you it was duck? And why the hell would I eat a horse? I like to ride them not eat them!



Horse is like a really, really tough steak. I swear I had it in France once. :/



Hmm,I haven't,not really popular in England!!



Yes, I've eaten horse - in Belgium. It was like steak and it was very nice.



No dont think its something i would ever try!



No... but I was always a bit suspicious of the Army chow that we had.
