Are you getting a bit bored talking to your buddies over at ukfdm? Yes,
I lurk there too, so I know all about your little Cabal (TINC). Now to

Gotta love thread drift - from Lennon's dead spread to stupid mares with
PMS.

Mind you, horse meat is considered to be food in some cultures...

I've never had the urge to try it (although I've had my suspicions that
I might have had some when eating store bought 'meat pies' - blech).
Dad won't buy meat pies anymore for that reason - he makes his own.
That way, at least we know what meat is in them.

Back in the 1970s, there was some problem with beef here. PCBs in the
feed? Just the cost? I was a kid, so I can't remember that bit.

However, I recall seeing horse meat in some stores. It was a very
dark
red, compared to beef.

They're a delicasy in China.

I've had both, and horse meat too.


It's all protein when you're in those sorts of 'situations'.


Having said that, I'm not about to run downstairs and fillet my pooch.

I've seen horse meat for sale in Canada - specifically - Quebec City. My
husband tried it. I am not sure if he really liked it though. He's like
that guy Zimmern who will eat ANYTHING - except pork that is...


Weirdest thing (at least to me!) seeing the silhouette of a horse at the
meat counter along with the pig, cow, chicken and lamb.

Not only is it a disgusting thought, it is my understanding that the
flesh of a well cared-for riding horse is unfit for human consumption.
They are (or should be) wormed on a monthly basis with a rotating
barrage of medications to avoid having the parasites develop resistance
to the drugs.

There have been times when I thought that sending Aries to the
slaughterhouse might be a good idea. He's been performing well for me
lately.

Although you were in the regular army for about 15years you were only
in the SASR under 2 years Lucas, which may I add you did not rise
about private. Peter McGrath PTE
Allowing for training & your serious accident which had you booted out
for psych problems, if you were lucky you would have seen about 3
months active service. Now during that time you say you went to Russia
& China, not to mension the 35 countries you carried the flag.
Isn't it true you went to Russia to skydive after you were discharged
be cause of psch problems? It's all on record Lucas.
It's time to confront your delusions of grandier boyo!

U.S. Military, during WWI and WWII and even into the late fifties, used
to serve horse meat on a weekly basis. I found no objection to the meat
myself and even had a horse butchered for the freezer once in the
sixties. No one eating it knew the difference AFAIK.

IIRC horse butchers in France used to have either a stuffed horse head
or a painted sign of such over the door to their shops. As it as been
said, it's often a cultural thing.

A lot of knackered old nags from the US used to be shipped to Europe for
butchering.

Just as well Wayne, cats are generally tough and stringy, at least
that's the way I found them to be. Dogs are nice though, again it's a
cultural thing. Many Asians still eat cat, dog, rat, and snake. IMHO if
you're hungry you will eat anything you can catch.

Yes. Dad told me about folks eating horse meat during WWII, but he says
he could taste the difference. He also said it's a bit 'sweeter' than
beef. Still not keen to try it, tho'.

Color me daft, but I can't bring myself to eat animals that are also
our 'pets'. I won't even eat my own chickens, fercripesakes! If I give
it a name, I can't eat it. And don't even get me started on
slaughtering my own beef/pork/lamb either. I know, I know, a lot of
people laugh at me, but that's the way it is. Especially being a South
African - it's still traditional to slaughter goats/sheep/cows for big
occasions like weddings etc. for many, many people here.

I had dog meat taquitos in Mexico. They were delicious. I don't know if my
friend was pulling my leg ("Do you see any dogs around?") but he never did
say for real.

I had grey kangaroo steak in Australia. Delicious!!! Red roo won't do!

Rumors of Jack in the Box (fast food chain) mixing horse meat into their
burgers back in the 1980s were just that---rumors.

Horses are money pits. There's nothing cheap about them, except,
lately, the cost of the beast itself. Supply and demand, folks. In
1998 there were 4.5 million horses in the US. Now there are 9.2 million.

I'm dreading the cost of hay this winter. Al, the guy who owns the barn
where DD's horse is boarded, lost 80 acres of hay this past summer due
to the constant rain and storms. I'm hoping DD will be able to trade
training time for Alice the mule and some of the young colts for partial
credit against Reno's board.

The vet bills for a fundamentally healthy horse are absurd. Far more
than all three dogs added up. Tack is ridiculous, although I've been
able to custom make some of his stuff, and do repairs far beyond the
capacity of the average home sewist because I have an industrial machine.

When I was a lad we slaughtered our own animals on a routine basis. For
the first fifteen years of our marriage DW and I raised rabbits, cattle,
goats, hogs, chickens, ducks, a few turkeys, etc. I slaughtered an
butchered them out on a routine basis and also hunted wild game.

I think it is a matter of what you are used to and how you grew up too.
Young goats are generally born in sets of two. We always named the ones
to be butchered with names like Barbecue, Sausage, Hamburger, etc. No
one I knew of named critters like chickens and ducks, they were just egg
layers or food. Cows and calves got names but no onus was attached to
butchering and eating them. We had friends back then who would offer me
their pet critters to butcher in return for a stranger critter they
didn't know. Was always willing if I knew the critter had been raised
properly and fed properly. I thought it strange but could accept that
they had "pet" feelings for their farm critters.

It took me twenty years to confess to DW and kids, plus the neighbors
wife and kids that he and I bought, had butchered, wrapped and frozen, a
Shetland pony. Nice grass fed critter at that. None ever professed to be
able to tell the difference. Was about half the cost of a comparable
sized cow critter.

You have to get them used to the idea Michael. I tell Tilly Dawg all the
time that if the economy goes down the tubes she's going to Tilly
Tamales. Feel the loin and the hams, imagine the taste.

Just yanking your chain Michael, I know what it means to love your pet
and I wouldn't eat Tilly if I was starving. Now other peoples pets,
that's a different story.

There's a nice fat indoor dog next door. I think she will do for

I've had horse meat in Italy. It was quite a bit sweeter than beef. I
confess that I liked it a lot.

I haven't seen the file yet, but I did see Len Cariou and Angela Lansbury
in Sweeney Todd on Broadway in the late 1970s. Loved the play, wouldn't
touch a meat pie for a while. :-)

Where my son works, his bosses won't eat any kind of animal that they've
ever had as a pet. They have horses, sheep, goats, a cow, a dog, cats
and chickens. That leaves pork and fish. They eat a lot of fish, and
some vegetarian. There's a lake on the property with fish, but I guess
they don't count as pets.

Which is why I'm *very* garteful for what I have, and where I am.

When I was in Russia, we had meat every 3rd day.

And every 3rd day the cook had a new dog :-)

LOL!! In Malaya in the mid '70's, there was a man with a food 'van' who
used to come around. He had smallsih looking pies on board. Being
Aussie, and away from home, we wanted meat pies.

I asked him what they were and he said "Gecko Pies". I thought they were
nicknamed 'Gecko' because they were small :-)

Nope!!!!

:-)

They were quite yummy, and I had some every time he came around :-)

An excellent song. IIRC the "angel" to whom Hendrix was referring was
his mother, who died when he was quite young.
