Prolly pretty good, then again, 'I'm the kinda guy would take a loaf of bread to a slaughterhouse and mop up the floor.'

Our ancestors prolly ate lot's of it before cars.

Tastes nice. Lean, good texture, not gamey. Had it in Japan and France.

Not that different except more tendony (if that’s a word) and leaner than beef, not well-marbled like a traditional, aged American steak. I had it when I was in France in the Seventies. Many smaller, family-owned cafes could not afford to serve steak very often.

I know some elderly Belgians who still like it from time to time more for nostalgia reasons; it was their first big piece of meat during World War II.

It’s like lean, stringy beef.

Had it in Europe. Considered a delicacy, is often smoked and served in cold cuts, very lean and very red, similar in texture and color as buffalo meat. Also served in beefsteak tartare in better restaurants but best served as panfried steak with spring potatoes and salad. A good bordeaux goes well with it.
