I Will Have A HorseBurger Please....

I would believe it.. also here in mexico 5-6 years ago people were selling horses to go to canada to be eaten there. You are so bad. Sat. night at the mylot comedy club now. Love ya...

I have eaten horse meat an it`s not bad. In fact, dry meat (charqui) is better when made from horse instead of cattle. I have read often that many sausages have a mixture of meats and that they only must have a certain percentage of pig or cattle or chicken. I guess it depends on the culture. In my coutry we eat raw fish, raw meat, cooked cow`s blood and a lot of other sources of protein.

I share your amazement at how much fuss has been made about this. I have never ordered or eaten horsemeat, but that is most likely because it is not on sale here. There is absolutely no reason why we should not eat a horse, after all we eat pigs and sheep. People seem to be quite happy with the items that have been traditionally consumed, yet horrified with anything that does not conform to the food that they were brought up to eat.

Neigh...... I Shall canter away as fast as my shoes can carry me. The mane thing that makes me bridle a bit is that there is no rein on these knackers from Killarney. So now we are saddled with them. At least they'll expand our girth. Curry...comb anybody?

Huh? Umm.... I've never been to the UK, and If I do go, I'll make sure to eat a vegetarian menu.

Eat horsemeat? Eat Black Beauty? Neighver. That is disgusting and from now on I am not ever having a hamburger in a fast food place again. Loved your post though

In some parts of Asia eating horse meat is common, I understand. My husband (not Asian) has tasted it before, and says it's like a very strong beef. Now, ti's not something that I would ever eat, and it's not something he'd eat regularly, it's just something he told me he has tried.

Thanks for FINALLY putting some laughs with the horsemeat stories! Made my day! Now, I wouldn't mind eating horsemeat but I draw the line at unicorns! Actually, I've been eating less and less meat as I get older so I'd most likely pass on the horseburgers. Not because they have horsemeat in them but because I'm moving away from red (???) meat altogether. So, neigh to the horsey burger.

I saw something of this on my friend status today . There have been speculation about some local meats here also , that it is donkey meat . These things really gross me out . I would never willingly eat those meat .

I hear it tastes like chicken........... but seriously, how does anyone really know what they are consuming at any burger joint? Where's the beef in a HAMburger? If you speak German, you may believe you are a cannibal[em]feelingsick[/em

Hm, as long as they are properly labeled and are not passed off as the 'usual' meat, I'm okay with that. As you've pointed out, it's fairly common for other folks so I guess having a little delicacy every now and then would be okay.

I believe all that. I also believe this happens all around the world. It is corporate business looking to make more and more money. So since they are putting horse meat in the burgers, then at least we should get a pair of horse shoes with the burger. LOL. Maybe we will all have to buy our own cows and make our own meat. They had that pink slime thing going on here in the US. So, like I said, anything is possible.

I'm a nay sayer 1) veggie diet digest quicker, and I don't enjoy chewing on tough meat. 2) The horse deserves a chance at life if only we humans could grasp that concept. 3) In the US there is currently no shortage of food where you are left with no choice but to slaughter another one of God's creation. Even if their was famine I'd rather drink water than eat horse meat. Doesn't sound tasty to me!

?????????????????????????

I didn't think horse was eaten much in the UK. It's not eaten in the USA. The meat in question also had a bunch of pork in it. I don't see beef, pork or horse as all that different. The big problem is the misleading label. If it is pork or horse, they should say so. I would't want to eat any of them. My cats do, but I don't.

When you get right down to it all of us animals are meet, met, meat.

In the USA the govement wants to open slaughter houses up slaughter horses again! They want to do it to deal with all the unwanted horses! Idiots! Horses are still be slaughtered but they are shipped over to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered! I would not be surprised some of that meat ends up in Japan and Europe. I know horsemeat is big in Europe and Japan. I hope this does not happen in the USA! I think it is a terrible idea to eat horsemeat and this comes from a horse lover and a horse owner! In the US, horses helped build this country! Horses are companions,friends,memebers of the family and used as therapy! This is just some of the reasons we should never slaughter horses for their meat! I said what I wanted to say!

For as long as it is edible, I have not problems with it! I like trying out unusual food.

Ugh... no. I can't explain it, but there are some animal, from whose meat I won't eat, maybe spiritually, I don't know, but one of them is a horse. I'm not judging on people who eat it, because meat is meat, but I could not even force myself to eat horsemeat if I knew what it was made from.

I am full of nonsense when it comes to food, so no, I will not have horse-meat thank you very much. If famine should strike, I would keep your lawn short and eat grass the whole day long... hahaha, and may most probably die of starvation, but I will not eat what I do not know.
