Oh...wonderful. To follow the big love to France... I love your blog. I love la Provence!
I'm doing something very burlesque now :-) Please have a look and stay tuned for the finished painting. http://www.joeparthur.blogspot.com/ I would be very pleased if you like to follow my blog! :-)))
You know what? I think I had horse when I was in France for the first time. The meat was white and tasted nothing like what I had tasted up to that point (or since). I hate to admit it, but, it was really good. I'm still hoping it was just some wonderful French concoction that I can't get in America.
I don't recall eating any horse in France, unless some clever chef snuck it in to something else. No reason it should not be delicious, as well as low-fat and nutritious. My dad remembers it being available during the Depression. We are just not acculturated to see horses as food. I think I'd have a bigger problem with bushmeat - like monkey. {shivers}
As a previous horse owner and a lover of horses...I shudder to see the sign. I am quite glad we do not have any shoppes such as that....very disturbing!!!!
I can't imagine eating "that" but I have eaten some things that I just can't believe. The French really eat all parts of animals but I did not know about the above.
Yikes, and I thought it was just a myth! The boyfriend told me his mom once picked up horse meat by mistake at the butchers..about 15 years ago! I guess the horse trade is still alive & well :)

ReplyDeleteYikes! My husband lived in Aix about 10 years ago and said all of the McDonald's in France at the time served horse...ewwwww.
ReplyDeleteOh for shudder! My heart just cried a little.
ReplyDeleteyuck. D:
ReplyDeletewell, I guess we all have our own different tastes....
How did you eat the horse meat? Sandwich? In a roast? Perhaps fried up with breadcrumbs? I'm very curious!
ReplyDeleteNope, doesn't taste like chicken. Who said that? Horse salami is quite nice. I guess I better shut up now.
ReplyDeleteWere you brave enough to try any of it?
ReplyDeleteAlways makes me so sad...
ReplyDeleteHave you had the pleasure of tasting the pig's intestine sausage? I don't recommend :).
euw. euw. euw.

ReplyDeletemy husband ate horse meat last time he went to asia and i seriously considered shipping HIM to the glue factory.
ReplyDeleteDon't think any less of me, but...
ReplyDeleteNow I'm wondering what a horseburger would taste like.
I am twitching right now.
