Yea but, I didn't know mutton was king. You wrote mutton but I
was thinking horse when you mentioned Kentucky...

I've never had it, but horse meat is supposedly very good.

Horsemeat is lean, protein-rich, finely textured, bright red, firm,
and moreso horses are immune to BSE (Bovine Spongiform
Encephalopathy). Tough meat cuts must be cooked long enough to
tenderise connective tissue (collagen), or marinated before cooking
to ensure both flavour and tenderness.

French, Italians, Swiss, Japanese and Quebecois in Canada are horse
meat aficionados and most of the 65,000 horses slaughtered in the USA
were shipped to Europe, Japan and to the province of Quebec.

Hey, Beedlebaum! If you're not a winner, you're dinner!!!

I don't know where you can even buy horsemeat around here. Buffalo has
become pretty common though.

Long aga a friend of my father's had a cookout and made horsemeat burgers
for all the guests. Thing was, he didn't tell them they were horse burgers
until after they had eaten and a number of the guests were pretty unhappy
with him. It ranged from horror over having eaten Black Beauty to the
expectation of having been poisoned. I don't think his dinner parties were
very popular after that incident.
