Horse meat is pretty popular in Switzerland, I have friends preferring horse even over beef

@Seul:

What's the reason for that, Rafa?.. As in: why haven't you eaten it in two years?..

the actual reason is that two years back, I was living in switzerland before I went back to Germany to graduate. eating horse meat is not really a good thing to do on germany. the Germans are pretty strict when it comes to what meat to eat and what not…

@ohighyo:

Horse???? This intrigues me. We do not eat horse here in the states. What's it like

yap horse as davito already said correctly, buying horse meat in your local supermarket here in switzerland is as common as being able to buy a gun in every yet so little village in the US!
it's just a "normal" thing to do/eat…you can get it everywhere!

and yeah, Giles is correct...just another super nice meat! gonna update you guys on the taste as soon as I'm having it (can't remember tbh., too far away ^^).

It's super common here too… My city's speciality is horse sausages btw... Recognised authentic product...

Of course, no Sir: I don't like it!..

Tricky to find horse bred for human consumption and a controversial choice when it can be found, in North America.

I like horse meat. Bison is my favourite lately.

Switzerland is extremely strict with meat quality control, some might tell me know something about that scandal happened in Europe earlier this year, where declaration of beef was almost 100% not-declared horse instead. But I do not know any of those details.
I remember that horse began to be popular around 25 years ago probably here around, when my mother started to cook some nice horse steaks. My sister still refuses til today to eat horse and the wife of a friend as well because she is riding the horses

your meal looks excellent Rafa, miam
