: An outdoor roast of horsemeat.

Horse Meat Burger Recipe

Mel yesterday says "The number of people looking for horse recipes really disturbs me." Which I found interesting, and then I thought, I should make one to finish off my recipe week here at Greensboring. It of course tastes equally well with ground beef. No I haven't tried it with horse meat yet, but I have tried it with deer. Poor Bambi. Long Story, and we won't get into that.

: Prepackaged horse meat from a Japanese grocery store.

Basashi

Whats really scary Mel, is in Japan the horse meat is called Bassahi, and annually more than 20,000 tons of imported US & Canadian Horse meat find their way to dinner plates. New facts to me of course, but somehow less upsetting than the American habit of eating rabbit.

NY TIMES - Berlin, July 23 1905 - The considerable increase in the prices of beef, mutton, and pork throughout the empire gives occasion to the trade organ of the German butchers to draw attention to the ever-increasing use of horseflesh as an article of diet. Horseflesh is more free from parasites than beef and pork, and richer in nutrient. It is only sentiment (says the trade journal) which leads so many persons to object to it. Horseflesh dealers are unable to execute all the orders which reach them.

In Berlin there are 200 slaughterhouses for horses, and in the suburbs fifty, employing about 1,000 men. The Berlin municipality intends shortly to provide a large central slaughter house. One of Hamburg's best known products is horseflesh sausages. The industry has already been in existence for fifty years. A considerable quantity of these sausages, it might be mentioned, are exported as beef sausages. Probably 6,000 horses are slaughtered every year in Hamburg for food. Not long ago in Berlin the owner of a certain restaurant invited about fifty of his friends to a banquet, at which dishes of beef and horseflesh were served, and only six of those present were able to distinguish between the roast beef and the roast horse.

What the heck is "wrong" about eating horse or deer meat? I mean, if you're OK with eating cow or pig or even sheep meat, why be bothered about these other beasts?

Lots of city people in England kept rabbits for food during the war - it's about the only livestock you can raise in a 18" x 24" footprint, and the practice continued until the 60's. Rabbit was a common meal when I was a kid. As a student I got quite good at knocking them down with the car for a cheap meal. The trick is not to let the wheels go over them or the corpse is too messy.

Now the only rabbit you see comes from China and I'm suspicious.

Unless of course it's an Ameglian Major Cow, which was specifically bred to not only have the desire to be eaten, but to be capable of saying so quite clearly and distinctly.

I really like rabbit too. It's not a good idea to eat carnivores, herbivores taste better, a grain fed poodle might be OK.

cows are bein fed meat nowerdays....

Would it be right to eat a BEST FRIEND?!? sickos...Horses are much more than "Beasts" Or "Animals" they are like dogs, and cats...would it be right to eat Fido or Tabby? Or would it be right to eat YOUR Best Friend?

I don't think so.

Damn the people who think eating/killing horses is right

or people who kill innocent animals!

I don't understand people who can justify eating one kind of meat but not another. It should not rely on how 'cute' the animal is or on how many disney films it has starred in.

I am naturally an omnivore, so i eat both meat and other food products. I also own a poodle as a pet.

To be honest I would eat her if i came to starvation. However in the mean time i will quite happily eat any other meat that comes my way!

She has quite meaty hind legs and i am sure she would fill me for a meal or two. I also here that squirell tastes like very sweet tender lamb. BRING ON THE MEAT!! Bambi, Dumbo, Babe, Benji, Lassie, Skippy and Flipper.. its all good.

Enjoy!!!

We've got tons of squirrels. If I could come up with a good method for catching them, I'd be set.

Posted: **August 30th, 2008, 12:35 pm**

Come now- surely you can devise a USB squirrel catcher?

If not, squirrel traps can be easily bought

Horse is pretty decent, although I don't think the fat content is high enough for a juicy burger. Horses are pretty foul animals in my experience. I worked with them for years and after getting hurt by them one too many times, well, that was that. Mules aren't as skittish and you're a lot safer on one. Cat's ok, but pretty tough. Dog's decent (just go to Korea). Possum's not bad if cooked well, but it takes a lot of prep. Anyway, horses sure ain't people, so don't be getting your fruit of the looms in a wad. Grow up.

It's fine to eat Fido or Tabby in Korea.

it's just a matter of how these animals' bodies are designed. Mammals with a cloven hoof and/or able to chew their own cud are physically ok for human consumption [still not the best, but OK] and others just aren't. While it can be done, when the unclean animals eat the food-to-muscle conversion happens too quickly and there're all kinds of lovely contamination going on that can make us VERY sick when we in-turn eat them. Sheep, cows, deer OK/ Pigs, horses, rabbits, squirrels NEVER OK -- in cases of desperation it's up to you. Of course religious groups put their own spin on things, hence the halal or kosher labels, but whatev -- it's also based on science.

BAWAHAHA

Let's see some then.

So it's the fault of the 'food to muscle' conversion happening too quickly? So if we examine sheep, cows and deer, we should find they have a lower food to muscle conversion rate than pigs, horses, rabbits and squirrels?

I think you will find that this is dependent on body size (the Mouse to elephant curve) and not how many toes evolution had left them with.

: Mouse to Elephant curve; mouse2elephant.gif (5.39 KiB) Viewed 7874 times

According to this source Biology of growth of domestic animals By C. G. Scanes
Pigs put on 50 Kg , horses 200 kg and cows 1200Kg in the same 24 month time. This suggests that horses are better eating than cows and pigs better yet.

And what is this lovely 'contamination' you speak of? If you are speaking about contamination before death and not in the slaughterhouse then I think diet may well have a lot more to do with it, in which case sheep, cows, deer, horses, and rabbits all have similar vegetarian diets (grass) and pigs are the only omnivores, squirrels eat grains and nuts- is that good or bad?.

Speaking as someone who has eaten everything on that list, none have made me 'very sick'.

how could anyone eat some inocent animal the poor thing deserved to live than be eaten because we wouldnt like it if we got eaten by a horse. IM GOING VEGGY. :violin:

In so far as eating animals for food, it is demanded by nature. When prey is free of predators, it flourishes so much that it completely devastates their natural foods sources. Just ask an Australian what he thinks about bunnies, which were imported from elsewhere and introduced into Australian wildlife. They multiplied so much that within a few years they nearly overtook the continent by eating everything. To correct this the Australian government imported gators, who ate everything but the very fast bunnies and introduced yet another major problem into their ecosystem. My point is, don't mess with mother nature, if you were born to eat both vegetables and meats, then by all means do so, you will only mess-up your own body and quite possibly your local ecosystem if you don't. (Ok, so our highways and sky scrapers aren't all good for the ecosystem, but if we give them all up, we'll be back to eating rabbits raw because we'll all starving from lack of trading)

If your going to cultivate something try your mind, learn about things before you make a stand for cutesy animals that would gladly destroy the world they live in if mother nature hadn't thought of putting other animals to prey on them. (Yes, we're predators too, mostly on each other, but every now and again we hit the animal kingdom as well)

Where did you get that gem from? Gators and bunnies live in completely different habitats - swamps and grass lands.

The Australian government introduced the mosquito-borne virus myxomatosis to kill bunnies. Which - as any evolutionary biologist would have predicted - led to the evolution of less deadly strains of myxomatosis and resistant bunnies.

Alligators have never been introduced to Australia and are not a problem to their ecosystem. When a (presumably escaped) alligator was found in Australia it made international news.
