We used to eat anything that moved until quite recently. Rabbits were on every table in the country during the war.
A quick google suggests that horsemeat was fairly common in the UK right up until WW2.---------------------------------------------------------

Registered 11 years agoI've read that in medieval times, in Winter we practically ate the skies free of birds. No bird too small to be stuffed into something else and chowed down upon.-- boobs do nothing for me, I want moustaches and chest hair.

Registered 5 years agoAll it'll really take is some shitty celebrity chef to come out and say "horsemeat is good, yum yum" and it'll suddenly be back in vogue in middle-class restaurants across the country for a while. Think it was Jamie Oliver who went on about Venison for Christmas dinner a few years back, immediately causing people called Sheridan to flock to Waitrose en-mass. None of them were thinking "noooo, not bambi".GHOSTBUSTERS

Your problem is that mutton has always been seen as a cheaper cut but it costs a lot to rear. I love a good shoulder of mutton but no one can be arsed to rear it anymore except poncy lifestyle farmers.

Registered 10 years agoTo be fair there's been a TV chef alliance to try and get people off cod and onto pollack for years, and it still hasn't worked.
But that's because we all know that an environmental message is driving it and we don't really believe pollack is as tasty as cod, as if it were, we wouldn't have favoured cod in the first place.
Whereas horse has got a touch of the exotic to it. -

Registered 10 years agoI think both fois gras and veal are not quite the same thing in this country as in others. We have a slightly more humane version. -

Registered 6 years agoYeah, pink veal is basically just young cow, it's the whiter stuff which is the 'locked in a sun-starved cage' thing, iirc.
Saying that the best steaks in the world come from beer-fed and massaged cows. Win some, lose some as cattle, I guess. -

Different ways of farming. You dont fatten up a wool sheep, so when it reaches the end of its life, its not worth eating as such.
Can't you just eat wool sheep when they get on a bit?
With lambs you gorge them for five months then kill them. Its not cost effective to do that to a wool sheep for a few years, plus it makes them a pain in the balls to shear.---------------------------------------------------------

Registered 7 years agoFois Gras is gorgeous, but undoubtedly cruel. I don't think we actually make it in this country though. Worth noting however that the geese get an otherwise luxurious free range existence, and let's compare to delicious spring lamb killed at 6 months old before we cast stones.
As for veal, Rose Veal is acceptable (and delicious). Otherwise it's just not on.]
Edit: months, not weeks.

Fois gras isn't very humane to us either way though, it's fat central.
I never got over school liver, mind. I'd imagine nothing ruins liver like 1970's school liver with overcooked cabbage and concrete-like mash.-- boobs do nothing for me, I want moustaches and chest hair.

Registered 5 years agoI hated liver as a kid, but I love it now. Liver with fried onions and bacon is delicious, probably in my top three of meals. But sadly Sam won't touch it with a forty-foot pole so I'm limited to days when we don't eat together. Plus it's expensive as all fuck here.GHOSTBUSTERS

Up your street, but I read an interview with a birdseye marketing bod who said they couldnt shift Hoki Fingers to save their lives. Then they realised they were high in omega 3 and rebranded them as OMEGA 3 FINGERS, marketed them to panicky parents and now they cant box them fast enough.

Registered 7 years agoLiver is very easy to fuck up. And steer clear of pig's liver, because you need it rare (or you'll chunder and swear off it) AND well done (or you'll chunder and die).
Chicken livers are brilliant and great flash fried with Panang or Peri Peri.LB, you really are a massive geek.

Registered 11 years agoI always thought horses were the dumbest thing on four legs about, but I'm slightly surprised to find that apparently, they're more intelligent than cows. Still fucking stupid, but at least clever enough to realise that a sugar lump in a few miles beats that bit of grass just on the verge there.Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!

Horses are smart about some things and dumb as a box of rocks about others. Like dogs, their intelligence tends to peak where food is concerned =D
