Horse and other meats

[richlevy]

I ran into this article in Time. It really does bring up the point that it's silly to discriminate on which of our fellow mammals we decide to eat.

So far my biggest turn off of the big 3 meats (beef,lamb,pork) was some goat at an Indian restaurant and some venison. I've never tried rabbit, either. I did once have a bisonburger.

I understand goat consumption in the US is on the rise, at least in part because it is a popular meat in almost every other part of the world.

Has anyone tried any red meats other than BLP?

Horse — It's What's for Dinner

By Joel Stein

I was moved by the volume of tributes to Barbaro upon his passing: front-page articles, thousands of cards from fans, a college scholarship in his name. Then I found out Barbaro was a horse.
Here's what they do with dead horses in the rest of the world: they eat them. But in our country the thought of eating horse is so taboo that the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act was just reintroduced in Congress--although there are even fewer horses eaten than flags burned. Despite our reputation, it turns out we are actually a nation that thinks like a 14-year-old girl.
