Horse meat - Would you eat it?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/07/16/2955234.htmMr Garreffa says he understands that Australians have a sentimental attachment to horses."I am so conscious of that, that you have got to realise that it is really pulling at the heart strings," he said.
"If somebody told me that we were going to start eating Jack Russells tomorrow, I would be horrified.
"I love my Jack Russell and I miss him because I lost him last year but hey, emotions are one thing."
He says at this stage, the controversy has probably scared other butchers away from selling horse meat.
"At this stage I think that if they experience the backlash of emotion, they might think twice, but I have had enormous support from customers and people in Western Australia who don't even know me and unknown people from around the world," he said.

I don't see why not...lots of other countries eat it especially mainland Europe and as long as it has been bred and farmed for that purpose like beef or pork and wasn't someones pet or anything then what's the problem?

This could be combined with the racing industry as part of the food preparation process. Enter a nag in the 2 PM at Morphettville, let the jockey give it a good tenderising, then serve it up in the buffet at 8 PM.

oooh you probably wouldn't want to eat a racer...too much exercise, it'd be as tough as old boots...keep those ones for the glue factory I reckon

I have mate who was in Japan lately on business. They took him out for a cooperate dinner and one of the specialties on the table was raw shaved horse meat, massive specialty in Japan.
I would eat it cooked.

Thats an interesting question.Seeing I love eating skippy why not Trigger .

I watch some strange shows (my kids tell me anyway) from england .In a couple they have eaten squirrel on a stick .and one chap was a survival expert from the SAS he said he had tried everything in his time in the SAS.The only thing he baulked at was eating monkey as once it was skinned it looked human .Me I wouldn't be anywhere near it!

Hopefully all the nice women from PETA will nude up and protest to have it stopped, - clearly a campaign all of us in here can give our full support towards!

Ive tried Roo, Emu, Croc & Snails so I don't see why I wouldn't at least try horse meat, the missus wouldn't have it in the house though so it would have to be out, she was horrified when someone bought marinated skippy fillet around for me to cook on the BBQ

If we were hungry enough,
We would roast
"Rats" 
Or maybe you would prefer to starve....?
There may become a time when we could become canables...?

I must admit I find it amusing when people complain about this country eating skippy .But its perfectly ok to eat Bambi and Bullwinkle in the good ole U S of A.funny that
