[Archy]

I've had some yesterday in my sandwich.
If they ban horse meat,  only criminals will have horse meat.

Why don't you eat horse meat?

Horses are charismatic.

They're stupid as all fuck, I'll give you that.

Well, we don't eat Ohio State fans, either.

I had a dish of slow cooked horse meat in Northern Italy. It was very good.

I may have some horse leberkäs later.

Why don't you eat horse meat?

It's icky.

you don't have horse meat in the US?  Strange.  It's being sold in groceries here, it's a lean meat, apparently really good.  Never tasted the stuff myself though.

More of a perpetual state, at least from this vantage point.

You swore that you'd never mention our night together.

Is it normal for horses to weigh so much?  That's like two adult male bears.

Pretty much, remember a horse is like a muscle beast. Some breeds weigh even more, a big draft horse like a Clydesdale can weigh over 2,000 pounds.

At the office canteen horse steak is one of the standard options. I've yet to try it.
In japan I did once accidentally eat horse sashimi. It was. ... not good

That describes pretty much all land meat sashimi I've tried.  Only meat I can tolerate in sushi/sashimi is chicken tempura.

There are even horse meat butcher shops in France, for instance one in my old neighborhood in Paris. It's gamey compared to beef, according to those who tried, sometimes mistakingly.

Used to be popular among the working class when they could not afford beef, back in the day.

PS: boucherie chevaline is the name, if Viper and other francophones or francophiles are interested.

That being said the shitty thing here is this horse was extremely valuable and was killed and butchered up by someone who probably sold the meat for a total amount equal to maybe 1/1000th of what the horse cost.

Something is very suspicious about this whole story.  How could anyone know that the horse had been brought to that stable the day before?

As you say, the insurance collection on the horse will be substantial.
