Could be. Though I haven’t eaten at Ikea. Taco Bell? who knows?

I ate at the Ikea in Round Rock, Texas a few months ago. Perhaps I did have some horse meat in the meat balls.

FReeped.

I’ve eaten rattlesnake, lizard, monkey, and some other things in Korea and the Phillipines that I still can’t be sure of. Buffalo is pretty good but kind of tough. Octopus and squid are rubbery but I may have had a bad “chef” back in the ‘70s.

I’ve also decided that some pets would be good protein sources if the SHTF.

Horse? No problemo, Pablo. Grill me a thoroughbred medium rare and pass the A1.

[GOYAKLA]

Ever try Red Kangaroo? I haven’t but I’ve heard it’s tasty and I’m curious.

The last horse I owned was but days away from filling up my freezer and providing a leather hide. Lucky for him a local rancher bought him.

I was in Paris in a restaurant on the Avenue des Champs Elysess, and it was cold, we were sight seeing, so the lady with me ordered hot soup and a “Burger au Cheval” for us. I was with a lady who had lived in Paris and Monte Carlo and is Swedish and speaks several languages, so she was my “guide”. She had done the ordering. I thought a burger was a burger, right? Later I asked for the translation of that burger because I knew “cheval” meant “horse”.

She said that particular burger meant “on horseback”. A fried egg was on top of the meat so that made it an “egg on horseback”, she said. It didn't mean the meat was horse meat.

You know what, I always thought that meat was horse meat no matter what she said.

To my knowledge I’ve never eaten any marsupial.

[VoiceOfBruck]

I’ve had a horse steak, in Europe of course.

If they sold it here I’d be first in line. Good stuff!

[Tucker39]

I would not KNOWINGLY eat cat or dog, either. But having lived in Japan for 3 years in ‘59 - ‘61 and dined in Japanese restaurants many times, I’m sure I have probably UN-knowingly eaten both.

I told the relative at the time that I didn’t think it was beef and since selling elk or venison is illegal in the US he was shocked. He had bragged to me on the way to the butcher shop that New Mexico beef was better than Texas beef. I never heard anymore about it after that.

“... after mu wife’s horse kicked me in the nuts... we would eat her horse first”.

At which point, your wife kicked you in the nuts. LOL!

[Cold Heart]

I had a more serious injury from that horse later. Wife disposed of that horse.

[freekitty]

HELL NO!!!!

I’d been shocked too.....you can buy all the elk, venison, antelope, etc. you like/afford....and LEGALLY.

[Ditter]

Could you sell it legally 40 years ago? In Texas wild venison was a game meat and could not be sold, maybe things are different now. Maybe it was different in NM then but the relative was buying the meat under the guise that it was beef and it was not.

Ate a lot of horse in the seventies. Its not like this would be a new product.
