In reply to the discussion: Poll for meat eaters: would you knowingly eat horse meat? [View all]TlalocW
(15,392 posts)21. I don't go out of my way to eat "crazy" meat
But I'm not afraid to try it. Along with the big three - pork, chicken, and beef - I've had turkey, lamb (gyro, it was okay), goat (Mexican restaurant in San Antonio - little gamey), bear (good), deer (okay), ostrich burgers (very lean, and I have a hate-on for ostriches since one bopped me on the head in college), and grasshoppers (in Oaxaca, Mexico). Don't if that last one technically counts as meat.
On edit: I forgot fish, which is easy for me to do since I'm a midwestern boy.

Yes, as long as I had never met the horse, but that's my philosophy for all animals that I eat

I developed a real taste for "paardenrookvlees" in Holland over 50 years ago.

I wouldn't be surprised if I've already eaten it after all my time overseas in the Navy
