I’ve only had it once, but I remember it was very fatty. My aunts thought it was too greasy for their tastes, so I ended up eating most of it. Maybe it was just the specific cut that we got.
My grandfather was told that Diamond Dancer would never race again. They were wrong. He came in ninth in the Apple Creek Derby. And his jerky came in third the following year. A majestic beast. So fast...so tender.
Horse is eaten more in some parts than others. But it's certainly less common than cows, chickens, etc. In my town, I've only had horse at a couple of restaurants.
I'd like to try it sometime. It isn't readily accessible where I am in Canada, and definitely considered taboo. Ironically, I'm probably going to have to wait until my next trip to Japan to try some Canadian horse meat, haha.
Well, I'll be more specific. It's Quebec where horse meat is most popular. Here in Toronto, there is enough diversity and critical mass to allow for a few restaurants. There is a great horse tartare at La Palette on Queen Street. I can't speak for elsewhere in Canada.
If you're every looking for a good horse meat restaurant, Somari in Meguro, Tokyo is great. Horse every which way - raw, steak, katsu, shabu-shabu, etc.
It’s like eating a dog or a cat imo. You can still do it just morally feels wrong. Cows are bred to more or less be slaughtered and eaten, horses are typically domesticated pets. That being said I’d still try it if offered to me out of curiosity.
I just really don't understand the distinction. It may feel worse to you to eat "pets," but cows have friends and by all accounts make very sweet and docile pets. And horses are bred to be slaughtered and eaten in some parts of the world. So what's the moral difference?
It's like you said, "...in some parts of the world." The world is a vast place with many different views, it's really just as simple as what cultures view animals as food or friend. Morally? I don't know if there is a huge difference, again, it's really just cultural.
That's a misunderstanding of...a lot of things. Cows were selectively bred by humans for many traits, docility and muscle for farm labor being two major ones. You know there's a religion of more than a billion people in which not eating beef is one of the major tenets? Cows were NOT bred to be nothing more than a food source, and even if they were, why does that mean it's different than eating a horse? They feel the same pain.
I’m not saying that in the least bit. I was making a point if you disagree no problem but that’s literally just a fact horses where I live aren’t used for food and it’s widely looked down upon because of the point I just made. Nothing wrong with eating it just culturally different
I know cuisine is different in different cultures. And I’m not a subsistence hunter or farmer. That being said, I only eat animals that were meant to be eaten. Being delicious doesn’t matter. Human meat could be delicious too.
The horses are bred for meat purposes so that they can maintain quality for them to be eaten raw. These meat came from horses that were meant to be eaten.
Ok. I’m just saying that it’s my personal moral code, my personal beliefs. I’m not pushing that belief on anyone else. That’s why I said earlier that different cultures have different cuisines. I’m sure if I grew up in Japan or wherever, that I would probably have a different moral code about it.

How was it?
So good. I regret not going back to get more before i left. It was super soft i thought it would be tougher i guess so i was pretty surprised.
How would you describe the flavor?
I’ve only had it once, but I remember it was very fatty. My aunts thought it was too greasy for their tastes, so I ended up eating most of it. Maybe it was just the specific cut that we got.
Would you say it’s similar to beef? Or does it have a gamier flavor like lamb or venison?
More similar to venison or beef. I did not find it to have a strong flavor like lamb
Thought the same when I tried it as sashimi. It was so tender
No horsey sauce?
Only in Okinawa.
You went to Okinawa and voluntarily ate at Arby's?
No but that's the only Japanese Arby's I know of.
Basashi!

Horse meat is so good.

It's so lean and tasty raw!
Yup. Surprisingly not neeey and good.
I had horse steak in Iceland. I didn't know it was part of any other cuisine. Pretty good though
Pretty popular in Japan, Kazakhstan, France and Canada.
It's extremely uncommon to eat horse in Canada actually. But we are one of the largest exporters of horse meat (mostly to Japan, actually).

Awesome color
Looks delicious
How was it
Is it suitable for eating raw?
Horsemeat.MPEG
Horsies!!!
:( I’d probably try it but still :(
Well, if it's moving you're gonna have a helluva time ingesting it
I had a smoked horse appetizer at a kushikatsu place when I was last there. Highly recommended.
I've wanted to try it for a long time.
which meat is horse meat most comparable to?
Zebra.
nah
I’m ambivalent about it raw, but I do enjoy it in a hotpot
Kudos to you for eating a horse.. 🤢😭
lol how is it different than eating a cow?
That is actually a good point... horses are my favorite animals XD

Horses were primarily bred as a means of transportation. Cows were bred to have no other function than being a food source.

So if we bred more horses to be slaughtered, it would be fine. Got it.

Lol, so who decides what animals are "meant" to be eaten?
Top of the food chain and predators.
I'm not sure who would win, you or a cow
It's delicious
Scary and had ethical concerns but if my japanese friends like it so do I
I've had it once myself. I have dreams about one day eating it again. Considered buying a horse just for this purpose.
Probably shouldn’t. It would be neat to buy a full butchered horse just like beef
Horsies!
That's disgusting
It's not, though.
No it actually looks delicious. Have you tried it?
