Greetings from NM!
I wish I was there RIGHT NOW, but my wothless brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money) lives in the 4 corners region so I try to stay as far away as possible.
Every creature that is alive shall be yours to eat; I give them all to you as I did the green plants.
Genesis 9:3
I Love all animals, right next to the mashed potatoes and gravy.

I don't believe that mustangs and other horses are indigenous to America. Seems like rather hysterical legislation to appease animal-rights activists and horse lovers. During WWII most Americans ate horse and other animals. Beef and chicken were in very short supply following a depression and during a world war. We "slaughter" millions of cows, pigs and chickens every year without batting an eyelash. Think of the horses the next time you eat your steak or fried chicken, if you continue eating are you a hypocrite? I know people who do have pet cows and chickens and won't think of killing them, so? Does that mean we should stop killing them and all other animals.
US Senate Votes to Prohibit Horse Slaughter |
The grand total of unborn children murdered in the U.S. over the past 24 years is 10 times that much - and they're all human beings.
The grand total of unborn children murdered in the U.S. over the past 24 years is 10 times that much - and they're all human beings. Save the baby humans - eat the horses.
And don't forget the harp seals. Let's not slaughter them because they look so adorible with those great big eyes. Just the cute animals. Save the animals that look good.
As kitchen steward in my fraternity, I had the cook order horse steaks once a week. The guys loved 'em, and no one was the wiser.
Why? They shoot horses, don't they? (I've always wanted to use that line.)
Health and Safety?
I wonder how Mr. Ed tasted or was he used to make Jello and glue
A - filet:
* Has few stressed muscles and therefore the best piece of the horse
B - Hind Quarters:
* is completely almost without fat
C - overhead panel
* is tender, juicy meat (in particular overhead panel of Ponys)
D - Semer and Semerrolle:
* meat to bar-b-que
E - front backs:
* steak meat
F - hochrippe:
* meat to bar-b-que and perfect for Gulasch
G - chest:
* ideal for sour roast
H - nose (elbow):
J - front leg meat:
I - belly rags,
K - rear leg meat,
L - necks,
M - head:
These are processing meats , e.g. for the production of
o Salami, crack sausage
o Cooked sausage
o special horse sausage (similar to basic sausage, but more larger and leaner)
o Basic sausage, bratwurst, Viennese...
* During the production of sausage products something pig fat is usually added, since horse fat does not possess sufficient cohesion, in order to hold the sausage together later.
British comedian Harry Enfield satirized 'Mr. Ed' with a sketch called; 'Dead, The Talking Corpse'!
Meat is meat. This 'can't eat the cute animals' business must end once and for all. I want tuna safe dolphin and I want it now!!!You can't sit down to a nice, steaming plate of braised baby kittens with garlic, but you can eat a pigs arse! What's up with that?
Mmmmmmm.... sausage.... gotta have pig fat! Mario Batali says that the pig is the Italian's real hero...
I'd love a breast of swan myself, make a nice change from pig's arse and cabbage - Ireland's national dish!
later read/maybe ping.
Yum.
Have you tried breast of swan? I thought the queen was the only person allowed to eat that. Until, of course, Ireland became overrun with immigrants. It is not uncommon now that our new arrivals are killing swans for food, sometimes even barbecuing them on the edge of the river like those Nigerians in Drogheda.
Immigrants are probably eating swans - I would to try some!
