Eating Horse {Gadling}

Nov 26th 2006 6:40PM Get real, people! So eating horse is gross but eating cow is great? Plenty of Americans eat veal--aren't baby calves too cute to eat? Why is it okay to eat an animal's ribs or leg or butt, but not its head? Why is THAT "barbaric?" How can someone say eating deer is fine, but eating horse is not? And by the way, what animal parts do you think go into hot dogs and sausages? How is that less gross than the dish you see in the picture above? Open your minds, Americans. Just because someone eats a different part of the animal than you do, or a different animal than you do, doesn't mean they are gross and wrong and that YOU eat the only right way there could possibly be to eat on the planet. We all start out eating the way we we were raised to eat in our own family and culture. Hopefully, as adults, we grow from there and learn to try other cuisines, and respect them! I'd sooner try a horse head, personally, than so-called "normal" all-American green beans out of a can! : )
