Obama legalizes horse slaughter for human consumption

Well to be honest, I haven't tried eating them.. One day, if I get the chance I may try that though I'm sure I will have to over come my prejudice against eating snails.

They have a bit of a chewy texture sometimes, but taste wise, when prepared correctly, they are really good. Like Reba's grandson, my son has been eating them with me since he was a little guy.

My big sister says they tasted earthy and she doesn't like anything that tastes earthy.

I ate horse meat in France when I was a kid. I thought it was roast beef at the time and was told after.
A lot of the world eats horses. It's not like they are giant kittens.

In TN, I consumed my share of barbequed goat, too. And I grew up eating beef heart and beef tongue.

No more so than mushrooms taste earthy, or beets taste earthy. But the right sauce can get rid of a lot of the earthiness. That is why I prefer them cooked with white wine in the sauce along with the butter and garlic.

I'm still traumatized by memories of a grey cow's tongue floating around in a gigantic pot of water. My mother had a taste for it. Have never been able to make myself eat it.

Had goat many times, it was very good. Had moose too, it was surprisingly very tender.

I would never eat sheep eyes. There is something about eating food while they stare at me that would give me pause. :P

Are you saying that there is not enough of a variety to choose from, therefore fine to eat horse?

Would you be okay with Obama legalizing dogs for human consumption?

Just curious.

Horses were legal for consumption in the United States long before Obama came around.:roll:

What is the difference between eating a horse or a cow? All a matter of what you are used to. You really should make a concerted effort not to be so ethnocentric.:cool2:

My sister doesn't like any of those things but I do.. I will have to try this out with beets though. I think Pinot Gringo (sp?) would go well with them.. .

I can relate. I came home from school early one day, and saw the tongue laying in the sink waiting to be cleaned. Took me awhile to get over it and start eating it again.:giggle:

My mom said, "We told you it was beef tongue. What did you think you were eating?" But there is a huge difference between seeing it sliced on a platter, and seeing it pre-cleaning!:P
