Ever eat zebra?

[Marco]

I don't know where in Mexico yall go to eat dog, horse and donkey. I've been to Mexico all my life and spent summers there as a teenager with relatives and never heard of such a thing. I know in Europe horse is eaten for sure. I think locals were having fun with you gueros here.

No, I've had the real deal. and I used to get it dried out from a guy that worked for me.

U.S. exports horsemeat to Canada and Mexico

U.S. routinely exports horse-meat to Canada and Mexico.
Most Americans don’t eat horse-meat. But many don’t realize that the United States routinely exports the controversial beef look-alike to our neighbors in Canada and Mexico, according to a report by CNN on Feb 10. Amid the growing European scandal involving the meat, some Americans are beginning to consider whether we could be unknowingly eating mislabeled beef here in the U.S.

The horse-meat that was being mislabeled in Europe has finally been recalled, but only after it made its way to dinner tables and restaurants in several different countries. The Findus Corporation appears to be at the center of the scandal, and after the French government began looking into it, Sweden announced it was reporting the company to authorities. The company’s products contained horse-meat although they were labeled as beef. The products were sold in Sweden, the U.K, and France.

Some of the companies involved are corporations that Americans are all too familiar with: Burger King and Wal-Mart, Inc. were among those who recalled the mislabeled products being sold as 100% beef.

It appears that the horse-meat scandal hasn't crossed the pond, and as far as we know, Americans haven’t been eating this mislabeled beef that so many unsuspecting diners were subject to. Horse-meat used to be banned in the U.S, but since the U.S. ban on slaughtering horses for human consumption was, as The Huffington Post described, "quietly lifted" by Congress in 2011, and American companies do export this controversial product, it seems reasonable to think that at some point we might find ourselves exposed to this meat that many consider taboo.

There are no health issues associated with eating horse-meat but still, many consider the thought itself revolting. Americans tend to think of horses as pets, not as food. And while it seems that the only way to be 100% sure the meat you’re eating contains 100% beef is to test it, the alternative is to go vegan. Most of us probably aren’t willing to take that step. Yet.

So my question to readers is this: If you found out you’d been unknowingly eating mislabeled horse-meat would you be upset? And if meat correctly labeled as containing horse were sold in U.S. stores, would you eat it?

Zebra is quite good, but it is very important to remove all the yellow colored fat. The fat is nasty if not properly removed.

Out of all my trips to Africa, Zebra was definately in the top 2-3 meats. Elephant was probably the worst. I can't comment on the cats (leopard and lion) becasue I refused to eat them. I know what I fed them over the course of 2 weeks while hunting them, thus there was no way I was eathing them. Apparently leopards and lions love rotting, maggot infested meats..... :-(

For those of you who won't eat it, will you eat a hot dog?

[Celtic Assassin]

I think I did once at Jack in the Box in their tacos...

No sir that would be chihuahua.

[Campxmas]

Guy told me it was good. Said it was a ribeye cut

I would probably try it but afraid I would be put off if I knew before I ate it.

Tastes a lot like Shetland pony to me

[perfectstorm]

Never had it but would try it. This coming from a girl on her 28th year of multiple horse ownership. As for horse, still undecided on if Ild eat it myself but I'm very much in favor of us opening the slaughter houses again. Some must die so others can live.

Hot dogs are only made out of USDA approved meat. No chicken lips like everyone believes.

Do the chickens have large talons?

I heard it was good before I went to Africa, so after I shot my zebra I asked if we were going to eat it... the PH replied with "Hell NO, it would be like eating a horse!"

[BO-N-ARO]

Had it in Africa a few years back and it was OK. I bit tough but not near as tough as the giraffe tenderloins we had for appetizers.
Any flesh is as good as it is handled and prepared.

[Snakelover]

When it comes to food, I'll pretty much try anything once. If I don't like it, I stop eating.

[DapperDan]

I may hunt one. Would have to be by archery only. If not it wouldnt sit well to shoot one with a gun. But i dont think i could eat it. Way to much like a horse for me. I grew up with horses so they are kind of partial to me.

Huge!
