Horse Burgers

here is a link for the nutritional info of horse meat. I have never had it, but i know a lot of countries in Europe eat it.

It's in the MFP database too, as "Generic - Horse Meat, Raw"

Ok, so I just read up on this. The said horses are already being sent to Canada and Mexico to be slaughtered... So if they begin allowing them to be slaughtered in the us, either way the horses have the same fate ( except creating jobs for Americans) also, they are not allocating new tax money to this endeavor, the department of agriculture must pull from current funds in order to pay for this. Also, these horses are old and too weak to work anymore... Plus apparently horse is leaner and has higher protein than lean beef. Most of the meat will be shipped to countries like france... Who already consume horse regularly. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about eating it, but from what I've read it doesn't sound like a terrible thing.
Excuse run on sentences and poor punctuation, I'm on my phone and it's hard to type on the forums on here.

They could call it a McTrigger ....

Why is eating horse such a bad thing? We have no problems eating cows, pigs, turtles, rabbits, deer, sheep, chocolate rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, fish, crabs, bison, ostrich plus various other birds, frogs, gummy worms, and the list can can go on and on. But horse eww!

I'd try it. I've eaten much worse.

How is horse meat different from beef? Has anyone here tried it?

I'm guessing that horses are more intelligent than cattle -- but does a horse somehow have more of a "soul" than cow, or something?

Hell, I'd try it.

Have you ever tried milking a horse :laugh:

i imagaine you can milk a mare, if you are feeling adventurous , though i am sure its has been and is being done somewhere

What should it be called? Like, beef is cow, pork is pig. I say we should call it Heef.

LMFAO!!!

I don't think I could bring myself to eat horse. Dog either..... But then when I think about beef or pork as an actual animal and not just meat, that sorta freaks me out too.

I don't intend on becoming a vegetarian or vegan any time soon, though, so I'll just compartmentalize and pretend like meat wasn't once a breathing, mooing/oinking/squawking animal once upon a time....

Gives a new meaning to the phrase "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse"........

As a horse owner, I would not eat it. I have tried llama meat however, and I own them, too. (He was a MEAN sucker!). Pretty good. I also have raised beef and chickens, and when you raise them for that purpose, it doesn't mess with your head. It's a psychological thing I think, and our U.S. society has a much more limited sense of "accepted source" for meat than most of the rest of the world. Many Asian countries eat cats and dogs, and according to some of the programs on the Travel Channel, waaay more gross, inedible things!

And in spite of the previous ban on processing horse meat, I have no doubt that many "slaughter house" horses found their way to the dinner table... Google exotic meats, and you'll find lots of things listed you would never think were marketed/available in the U.S.

That being said, I won't eat horse meat, or cow brains. Tongue, liver, heart, etc can be very good! Luckily for me, ground turkey-my primary source of 'diet protein'-isn't on anyone's gross list! ;-)

I'll try just about anyone once. More than once if I like it.

Wow, not sure what that has to do with horse meat...unless you're making an analogy. :laugh:

I prefer Hippo Lo Mein. it's nutritious AND delicious!

Now, that is just GROSS! *Think of all the carbs and sodium*

Horse meat? Yukky-poo! Best to stick to yummy delicious things like gummy bears, marshmallows and Jell-o.

You know, those things they make from boiled bones and skin.

:laugh:

Noo, I love horses

Noo, I love horses

These horses were being slaughtered anyway. Read up on it.
