Anyone tried horse meat?  I wouldn't mind trying it to be honest.  Low in
fat, high in protein.

I'm being serious BTW, I think that horse meat would be a really good food.
I would order a horse steak in a restaurant.

Horsemeat is ILLEGAL in Texas:

§ 149.002. Sale or Possession of Horsemeat

A person commits an offense if:

(1) the person sells, offers for sale, or exhibits for sale horsemeat as
food for human consumption; or

(2) the person possesses horsemeat with the intent to sell the horsemeat as
food for human consumption.

Come on, in Texas it's legal for a chicken to have sex with you, but it's
illegal to reciprocate.  Say no more.

I understand the roots behind not eating horse meat.  Afterall, the horse
was, well, the workhorse/transport (and still is in a lot of countries and
continents).  But now things are a bit different in more modern countries.

Strangely enough, modern countries will eat anything, but not horse meat.

Spoken like one with personal experience. You choke that chicken often?

I just watched an old episode of 'The Bush Tucker Man', an ABC Australia
series that followed many of our greatest explorers. This one was about an
overland trip by Edmund Kennedy from the central Queensland coast to an
outpost on Cape York, through 'the vilest country' in 1848. The expedition
ended up eating most of their horses. I guess he wasn't the only explorer to
do so in order to survive...

About 25 years ago, I spent 2 months working in Geneva Switzerland, right a
crossed the street from were I stayed way a butcher shop, called in my
hopeless French, butcher de Calvary, that sold only horse meat. They even
had a chart on the wall showing all the typical "cuts" just like you can
find in some US meat markets for cows. I was told that horse meat was
popular with the older population of Switzerland.

Whoops! Thought I was in the "houston.eats" group.

However, most states in the US have made human consumption of horsemeat
illegal, while it is big in Europe, I understand.
