      I always knew lasagna was horse. How else could they glue the layers together?

        They deliver it at superluminal speeds and the speed keeps everything together.

      Horse meat is absolutely tasty, and if it wasn’t so unpopular it’d probably be in the same price range as beef, overall the market is quite small, and absolutely zero horses are raised for meat. Bluntly said at the end of a horse’s career an owner is asked “do you want an urn, vacuum packs, or not pay anything I’ll sell the meat”. If your dietary preference for meat is animals which have been loved and pampered all their life horse is a very good choice.

      Trouble with the scandal back then was that it was all untracked horse meat. And there’s plenty of horses around which get treated with veterinary drugs that make them unsuitable for human consumption because no owner is prioritising slaughter over their health.

        I ate horse meat before. It was chewy, and I have special ethical issues with it, like for me it’s like eating a Dog. It does not matter even if it where tasty.

          Your dog would not mind eating your horse. Your dog also wouldn’t mind eating you.

          There’s two principal reasons why people make a difference between cats/dogs on the one side and horses on the other: The degree to which they’re family, but very crucially also to the degree to which horses, or cows, very much aren’t carnivores, it’s about position on the foodchain, how much heavy metals etc. accumulate, that’s not just a modern thing it’s always been the case. That’s why eating dogs is an exception among human cultures, while with cows not eating them is the exception.

            I removed myself from the food chain a decade and a half ago by forgoing meat entirely. Now I don’t have to have weird moral arguments with myself.

              Nah, you’re just occupying another spot on it. And unless you’re an algae or something, literally living from light and elements floating about in the air and sea, you’re not at the bottom.

              The ecology expands beyond your pet ethical considerations.

              Side question: Would you begrudge your dog eating your corpse? If you love them so much, why don’t you feed them, when that is all you have left to give?

      Buddy, I’m 41, and I always thought until just now it was saying you were “so hungry you could eat a(n entire) horse.”

      It’s pretty much an Anglo Saxon exception that horse meat isn’t eaten… It’s not as popular as it once was in Quebec, but it used to be readily available…

        Well sure, there used to be a lot more horses that died annually, back when they were a primary means of transport.
