Was it ruff going?

― milo z, Monday, 5 March 2007 06:22 (nineteen years ago)

I had horse in Belgium. It was rubbery.

― libcrypt, Monday, 5 March 2007 06:23 (nineteen years ago)

Didn't taste bad at all actually. My friend got a chewy chunk tho and couldn't finnish it but mine came right off the bone.

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Monday, 5 March 2007 06:26 (nineteen years ago)

This is served as a stew, btw.

do carnivores taste noticeably different from herbivores?

my friend ate dog soup in korea. he didn't like it much but felt he had to try it, just once, while he was there. i don't see how it's different from eating cow or pig really.

― emsk, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:01 (nineteen years ago)

As I said to Thermo earlier, for some irrational reason I reckon dog would be bitter and dreadful, because their shit smells so bad! This might go to what Curt1s asked: is herbivore meat better than carnivore meat? (I dont like pork).

― Trayce, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

And I have had plenty of unusual meats like 'roo, rabbit, etc.

― Trayce, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:05 (nineteen years ago)

so cow shit smells good?!

― marmotwolof, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:16 (nineteen years ago)

Compared to dogshit it does, hell yes.

― Trayce, Monday, 5 March 2007 11:17 (nineteen years ago)

We've replaced Trayce's regular brand of Cowshit with new Dougshit. Let's see if she notices a difference.

― The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall, Monday, 5 March 2007 12:10 (nineteen years ago)

I had horse in Belgium. It was rubbery.

why ever not eat horse meat. as if they bettah than a cow. actually they ARE yummier than cows. hah

― nathalie, Monday, 5 March 2007 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

Mmmmn, roast horse...

― Vicky, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:03 (nineteen years ago)

When I was a kid I thought philly cheesesteaks were made from horse meat.

― nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

I find it peculiar that people would find eating horse meat so strange, but have no problems stuffing their faces with cow meat. Same applies to dogs, really. As much as I like my dog Lucy, why not eat a dog? Or a cat. Or a HUMAN BEING. Just kidding.

― nathalie, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

cowshit has a really green, grassy smell to it. Diet does make a difference, fecally, not sure about taste-wise. What about vension? Deer are herbivoires, no?

― Ms Misery, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:07 (nineteen years ago)

Pigshit is vile, but they are delicious. Tastes like human!

― Beth Parker, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:08 (nineteen years ago)

My son claims that he ate dog right here on Martha's Vineyard, but he has been known to be a BIG FAT LIAR.

― Beth Parker, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:09 (nineteen years ago)

I probably ate dog in South East Asia, where lots of the restuarants just list 'meat' on the menu. Doesn't bother me.

― chap, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:10 (nineteen years ago)

my first boss, well my boss's boss was Mr Lewis editor in cheif of a railroad trade magazine. He was in his late 60s then, an american gent of the old school. In late 1981 he went on a state dept sponsored railway tour of "Red China" and upon return regaled us with stories not only about rolling stock and cabooses but the luxe banquets he was served. One dish in particular struck him as the one of the best things he'd ever eated so he insisted on finding out the ingredients and when his hosts reluctantly informed him it was dog he proudly announced to us "I went and threw up!" Big smile. I guess culinary taboos die hard.

― m coleman, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

my parents ate raw chicken. in japan. not too keen to try that. (because i'm preggers yo, otherwise DISH IT OUT!)

― nathalie, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:12 (nineteen years ago)

Of the crazier meats I've eaten (boar, rabbit, etc) the best was probably ostrich, which is actually a RED meat and is almost entirely devoid of fat. From an ostrich farm here in KY.

― nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:15 (nineteen years ago)

i ate hueg spider in cambodia

― jhøshea, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:16 (nineteen years ago)

Chickens and their eggs definitely taste better when the birds have been running around eating bugs and worms in addition to grain and greens. I'd expect animals that eat carrion to taste really bad, but that's probably a cultural taboo thing. I think the meat of carnivores and carrion eaters would be more likely to transmit harmful bacteria/pests, but don't know that for a fact.

― Jaq, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:19 (nineteen years ago)

a girl at work said eating dog meat makes you feel warm. sounds odd to me, but what do i know?

so dysmo, did it make you hot?

― Kim, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

When I was a kid wandering the shore I'd smash open random shellfish with rocks and eat them. A Robinson Crusoe thing.

― Beth Parker, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

I can understand why it would bother people, we have a symbiotic realationship with dogs, horses and cats going back millenia, so deep in the human psyche they're regarded as friends. Taking a totally pragmatic approach, though, there's no moral difference between eating a dog and, say, a pig.

― chap, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:39 (nineteen years ago)

I mean, we also have a symbiotic relationship with cows, pigs, sheep and chickens, but the nature of this relationship has always involved us eating them.

― chap, Monday, 5 March 2007 15:43 (nineteen years ago)

― Jordan, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:22 (nineteen years ago)

One of my favourite culinary moments was when, before taking a bite of either, I once held an ostrich burger in one hand and a kangaroo burger in the other.

― unfished business, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:23 (nineteen years ago)

― nathalie, Monday, 5 March 2007 16:28 (nineteen years ago)

I think instead of symbiosis it's the amount of time invested in training a working animal that made it a bad idea to eat them. Which would explain horses and dogs but not cats.

― Jaq, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:10 (nineteen years ago)

but cats need so explanation because they're cute. besides, i bet they taste like shit anyway.

― Kim, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:27 (nineteen years ago)

I've eaten raw chicken and raw horse (while in Japan). Both were very tasty. I hate mule meat in China. Not so tasty. Never had an occasion to eat dog, but I see no reason not to.

― Super Cub, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:43 (nineteen years ago)

Why is RABBIT being considered an unusual meat here? Haven't people been eating rabbits for ever and ever and ever?

― nabisco, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:48 (nineteen years ago)

Do they serve wild dog or domesticated dogs in these countries? Just wondering.

I couldn't eat domesticated dog, I've had one for too long. Horse just makes me think of people starving on the prairie, also I heard it is really tough. I also refuse to eat veal, so I think my problem is just being a big softie.

I didn't know you were preggers nath! congrats!

― jessie monster, Monday, 5 March 2007 17:58 (nineteen years ago)

Seriously, I so much as look at a fat little bunny and my first thought is GET IT EAT IT.

― nabisco, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:01 (nineteen years ago)

DON'T TELL JESSIE, SHE MIGH--oh too late.

― Laurel, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:04 (nineteen years ago)

I had cousins who raised meat rabbits, so ate it a lot while growing up and have never thought it unusual. I raised and slaughtered my own for about a year. Really hard to find at a butcher though, and so good.

― Jaq, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:04 (nineteen years ago)

bunnies. ;_;

Actually for some reason it doesn't bother me. I think I've actually eaten rabbit before.

― jessie monster, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:13 (nineteen years ago)

Like koalas, they only look cute. In reality, they are horrid creatures that scratch and bite and smell bad and make rude noises.

― Jaq, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:15 (nineteen years ago)

wow, don't tell Ms Laura that. . .

― Ms Misery, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:16 (nineteen years ago)

Well and in several environments, if you look around for small game you can trap, hunt risk-free, or chase down with terriers or whatever, rabbits are SO the obvious candidate. Everything about them screams "eat me." They're like the hamburger stand of the food chain.

― nabisco, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:20 (nineteen years ago)

"We're plump, defenseless, breed a lot, and of an ideal size to be eaten by practically any carnivore around!"

― nabisco, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:22 (nineteen years ago)

(So basically because I decided not to do it, no one wanted to run with the eight million obvious "Dougshit" jokes?)

― HI DERE, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

In my mind, eating rabbit is like one step above eating squirrel.

― milo z, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:24 (nineteen years ago)

Rabbit is a bit of work to eat, but terrine de lapin (a kind of rabbit pâté) is pretty tasty.

― Michael White, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:27 (nineteen years ago)

Rabbit is delicious. And I love them as bunnies! I've never raised animals to eat, though. I feel that I should, to be a more holistic carnivore. Love them, kill them, eat them.

I don't know why more rabbit isn't eaten here. Their breeding habits are proverbial, and they're delicious. Calves are cute, too, and we eat them.

― Beth Parker, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:29 (nineteen years ago)

We should go eat strange meats when I'm there at the end of the month, Thermo.

― Bryan, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:41 (nineteen years ago)

Is rabbit eaten a lot in Australia? Just wondering, what with the overpopulation and all.

My friend raises guinea pigs and eats them pretty regularly.

― eater, Monday, 5 March 2007 18:54 (nineteen years ago)

I wonder if there are any statutes against setting rabbit traps throughout my suburban neighborhood? They are incredibly plentiful around here; it's hard to go a day without seeing one hippity-hopping across some random neighbors yard.

In fact I could make quite a carnivore of myself on animals I find in my 'hood, should the law permit me: rabbits, squirrels, ducks, and geese, at the very least, are very common here.

― nickalicious, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:07 (nineteen years ago)

My mum's Brazillian cleaner was telling me a story about how her friend killed and ate a London pigeon. Apparently he got very sick, no surprises there.

― chap, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:22 (nineteen years ago)

Squirrel is pretty tasty - are you in KY? Burgoo, mmmmmmmm.

― Jaq, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:23 (nineteen years ago)

I've had ostrich burgers a few times. Not bad, better than buffalo.

― sexyDancer, Monday, 5 March 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

Ostrich narrowly beat kangaroo in the final verdict, incidentally.

― unfished business, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

I thought kangaroos was endangered???

― jessie monster, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:10 (nineteen years ago)

I think their overabundance in Austraila is actually a problem.

― Ms Misery, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:11 (nineteen years ago)

Long Tan in brooklyn has had kangaroo meat on the menu from day one, i always get it when i'm there. mmmmmm.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 5 March 2007 20:22 (nineteen years ago)

my cuzzin sez.."ok
so i read that there were dog food restaurants on the outskirts of Hanoi, aparently it is a delicasy in Hanoi particularly, but i have since noticed it in every city in almost every market. At the time i hadnt notced dog meat in the markets so i thought if i went out to these restaurants i would see some disturbing sights of dog being chopped up the way the chopp up chickens and pigs at every turn as well. Instead cody and i some how got wrapped into actually walking into a dog meat restaurant, and before i could get cody to turn around and stop following our host into the restaurant we were being seated in this large cement room that had no walls, so it was a bit drafty. There was newspaper on the floor, you took your shoes off at the door and put them in a plastic bag to carry with you. There were fans on the ceiling and some neon lights. When we first arrived there was hardly anyone there, but it was only 6pm. They served up the dog meat dishes without asking or showing us any sort of menue. The meat was prepared in several different ways. One was clearly dog liver sliced up over sliced dog fat then there was a dish of spring rolls a la dog meat, that were deep fried. with the best part being the smelly think vomit style fish sauce for dipping them in. Then my favorite the dog shit dish, that was god knows what part of the dog in god knows what kindof dog meat think and chunky gravey sauce. unfortunatly i was hungry and still feeling rather adventurous, i put a few bites in my mouth and then a few more till i heard a dog whimper and realized everything tasted like dirty wet dog, and every thing smelling this way also. i heard another whimper order Hanoi vodka drank the whole bottle, and then notcied it had gotten quite a bit buisyer everyone was there, mom and children and grandma and grandpa of course, young couples it was quite a party. Untill i spent the next few days vomiting at the sight of a puppy or even the thought of dog dead or alive. The vietnamese are supposed to be doing this awful eating dog ritual at a certain time of the lunar cycle for good luck, i kept wondering "why!" and "why did i want to know why" is it that getting down and dirty, really gross and dirty a few times a month makes you aprechiate tofu, that is what it did to me, it took me weeks before i could even mention the whole ordeal let alone eat anything but tofu.
I ate cricket and silk worms, and rat, and cat, but all those things were fairly tasty, unofessive treats. BUT NOT DOG>

Is rabbit eaten a lot in Australia? Just wondering, what with the overpopulation and all.

Not like it used to be. I think in leaner war years it was more common to see rabbit or hare for sale at the butchers but these days I suspect it is mostly a gourmet thing.

You would probably want to take care catching one in the wild, I'm not sure if myxamatosis and the other poisons are transferrable.

I brought up eating rabbit upthread but I only did so because I know I've seen people be horrified by it before which I found suprising.

Kangaroo is nice - very lean gamey red meat. You can buy it in the supermarket.

― Trayce, Monday, 5 March 2007 21:11 (nineteen years ago)

You would probably want to take care catching one in the wild, I'm not sure if myxamatosis and the other poisons are transferrable.

They are. Never eat a slow-moving and/or sick acting rabbit, and always use rubber gloves to butcher rabbits and squirrels. (I've never done either one, but I've read lots of survival and hunting handbooks.)

― Christine Green Leafy Dragon Indigo, Monday, 5 March 2007 22:54 (nineteen years ago)

I actually don't eat veal either, Jessie—I was using "we" in a cultural sense.

uh?

― jhøshea, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 01:32 (nineteen years ago)

I work at an Indian restaurant, but sometimes my Filipino coworkers like to prepare "extracurricular" cuisine in the kitchen, including bull dick (which is pretty awesome considering the owners are hardcore Hindus). The sauce was awesome. The dick itself was pleasantly chewy but not rubbery. Still, I had a hard time eating it. (no pun intended)

― emilys., Tuesday, 6 March 2007 02:21 (nineteen years ago)

When I was a kid wandering the shore I'd smash open random shellfish with rocks and eat them. A Robinson Crusoe thing.

yeah, at least half of the seafood i've eaten over my life (and that's a lot of seafood) has been raw. and i've never gotten sick from it. not once. but i've gotten all sorts of sick from veggies and cheeses. i think a lot of the worry about eating raw things is unfounded – or at least beside the point, since normal cooking practices frequently fail to reach temperatures high enough to kill the little buggers that infest various meats + fowls.

― remy bean, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 02:29 (nineteen years ago)

yes, I have no fear of proscuitto crudo and the like

― emilys., Tuesday, 6 March 2007 02:52 (nineteen years ago)

I thought kangaroos was endangered???

It's one of those funny situations where the whiteys moving to Australia and clearing all the land actually helped a native species - more yummy grass & new seedlings for them to feed on. So the kangaroo population is bigger now than before settlement by the poms.

Have you heard of the cookbook called Fifty Ways to Wok Your Dog?

There's a punchline somewhere in that "rubbery" comment upthread. Horse wranglers getting arrested for rubbery. I ate thinly sliced horse meat on my bread for breakfast one of the first days I was in the Netherlands without realising it. It was salty if I remember correctly. I used to ride my bike every day by a butcher's that only sold horse meat. It's all about what you're culturally accustomed to.

My Dutch ex's grandpa was in the resistance during WWII, living in the marshland in Holland and capturing Germans and keeping them on abandoned boats there. He would talk about eating cats during the war. I thought it was a testament to how desperately hungry he was, but after reading a bunch of war-time letters he wrote that described what they had to eat (much more than the people in the cities), I think it was just that he really liked the taste of cat.

― Maria :D, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 04:56 (nineteen years ago)

raw chicken is sometimes eaten in Japan, although it's hardly everyday fare. I had it at a yakitori restaurant. It was good.

Raw horse is far more common. You can find that many izakaya menus.

Some interesting addition to the debate above, including "Dog Meat Terminology"...

― Bill A, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

Dogmeat is indeed a delicacy over there. Our good host proudly told us he could trade 10 chickens for one dog! When they served it everyone quickly sprang up with their chopsticks to grab a bite (unlike the other food that was just being eaten at a casual pace). But I don't think you're going to get served dogmeat there without knowing as they do seam very proud to serve it. And it most certainly did not make me "hot", Kim!

We were with him when he picked it up (he was our tuk-tuk driver while we were in Siem Reip) - he pulled up to a little compound in the morning that had a sign in Cambodian and underneath read "DOGS COOKING". Which kinda conjured up images of cute little pups in chef hats baking muffins or something. and we could hear them barking away.
But when we went back in the evening to pick up the order it was eerily quiet!

― Beth Parker, Tuesday, 6 March 2007 18:35 (nineteen years ago)

yeah, i ate some dog in vietnam, along with some snake (including blood, heart, etc). dog was ok - it was also in a kind of stew so it was hard to really identify a particular taste. in cambodia i did try the roadside fried crickets (outside siem reap). quite tasty! like burnt chicken skin. but did not notice any dog. i did see scorpions and big black spiders in a kind of red hot sauce though...

We should go eat strange meats when I'm there at the end of the month, Thermo.

they have horse at la palette in kensington (which i'm sure you know, but just in case...) it's not officially on the menu, but always available as a nudge-nudge-wink-wink 'cheval' special. it's delicious. medium rare i find it tastes nicer than a comparible cut of beef tenderloin! and i loves the steak.

in sweden horse outsells lamb and mutton combined!
