A lot of stories in the news lately about horse meat. Anyone ever try it? I'd love to get some to smoke but I don't see that happening any time soon.

we ate it plain, not sure why I did not break out some smoked summer sausage or something. Maybe next week I will prepare better
Wonder if you could get Horse meat shipped in from canada, that is where I ate it first
Had it a few times, the closest thing you'd probably had would be bison. I don't know how well it would smoke, there's practically no fat and what is there doesn't enhance the flavor like it does with beef or pork, it tastes almost rancid from day 1. I'd cook it just like it's venison, fast and pretty rare or ground with beef fat mixed in.

Oh you can smoke it, just have to watch it and not as long or you will have horsey jerky.

Had it in burgers in France once. Had one bite and put it away. To me it tasted "sweet", though that's not really a good description.

More likely it was seal flippers.

I answered "no" to the poll, but I have been in many third world countries, and third world 'hoods in this country, and you just never know.....
Horse butchery and illegal sales of horse meat is a big issue here in Fl, especially in Dade and Broward counties.
Horse owners in those counties regularly report horses as stolen, and often Horse carcasses are found butchered along roadsides and in pastures.
Pretty sick, actually.

I hadn't heard this. I don't particularly find eating horse meat sick, if that's what you meant. I do find it sick that somebody would steal someone's horse and butcher it for food. I believe that if it were made legal here, their would probably be fewer horses sold off for glue, and I also suspect that their demise would be more humane. I've read that a good number of horse owners will choose to sell to glue factories before paying the cost to euthanize and cremate a horse.

I didn't see any options for "Not deliberately" or "Not to my knowledge".
I've eaten at a lot of chinese, thai, russian, zealandish, indian and scandaweigian restaurants. I've probably partaken of every animal in the kingdom (including human) at least once.
PS: Zebra meat is kinda gamey, but really sweet and good.
Small Horse Found Slaughtered In Miami-Dade's C-9 Basin
A policeman on patrol reportedly found the body of the small female horse in 17900 block of NW 128th Avenue, well within Miami-Dade's infamous C-9 Basin -- a rural agricultural zone west of the Turnpike and widely considered to be one of the most active horse slaughter locations in the world.
With chunks of meat missing from the horse's halved carcass and all her limbs cut off, she is believed to be among the string of grisly butcherings feeding South Florida's illegal horse meat trade
"There's a big, large demand for the meat, and not just in Miami-Dade and South Florida but all of Florida," Couto told NBCMiami in October, after a mare was stabbed through the heart and butchered alive. "The meat is going between $7-40 per pound in our state. It's a high commodity item, and when there's a demand there's gonna be supply...This has been going on in Miami-Dade county for 30, 40, 50 years, and those days need to be over and done with."
Sick, isn't it? One thing about Fl - with the third highest population, legal or not, we are second to none in news of the weird and demented.
Whatever happened to just strangling chickens for voodoo projects?
