And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I worked on a US Army contract in German for 6 years. Lots of horse meat consumed in Germany. Most of the larger outdoor markets have vendors who sell only horse meat. Sudsy in NC
Was having dinner with an Englishman. We had Elk steak. His comment was: It's great, very much like horse meat. I keep looking for horse meat to try, can't find it.
There used to be a meat market in SE Portland that sold it in the early 1970's; long gone now. I recall it being pretty good, very lean, no marbling at all. Now that I live deep in cowboy and ranching country I have be very careful about such conversations.
My dad served in the ETO in WWII. He said they were fed horse meat with pineapple on top. He said it smelled like saddle blanket. It was many years before he could bring himself to eat pineapple.
Visited my family in law in their native eastern euro country. Arrived first night to the table set with a variety of dried kabasa. Deer, boar, cow, and 10 more variations (including other meats or same mentioned meats prepared differently). After a night of booze, food, and anecdotes, I picked out my most favorite style. Turned out to be horse. If I knew before hand I don’t think I would have tried it, but that said, it was uncomparatively delicious.
On business in Taipei about 40 years ago, I was served a mystery meat and asked to guess. Had no idea but said, Tastes like horse! and was correct. It was okay.
The Norse say it is good, as do the native Americans.

ReplyDeleteI even found a version sold in the states. Not as good, but if willing, don’t knock it to you try it.
DeleteHorse meat was a vital meat for civilians during WWII. The banning of horse meat was a great injustice.
ReplyDeleteI was recently in Kumamoto, Japan. They love horse meat and is readily available everywhere, including food trucks.
