Horse Meat

[North Sea]

Why do you object to it? Probably tastes good.

Human meat is the best I heard

And what makes a horse more sentient than a cow or pig?

You ain't tried nuthin' until you've tried kangaroo meat!

How does it taste? Gamy? I ate horse meat in Japan.

You do ? I was always taught that you can't eat it. And you guys are Catholic and from the same cultural circle.

It's what state borders do. Catholicism was and probably is taken more seriously in the Catholic Netherlands than it is here. Also the fact the state-controlled Catholic Church often were our oppressors here. It's one flaw of the religion, you roll a dice with clergymen whether they're righteous or corrupt.

Probably yes. But we also used a lot of Belgian clergy here (particularly the lower rungs): the local pastor was Belgian as well. The difference may lay in the fact that the Dutch Catholics had been seriously oppressed for some 200 years or so and then had their revival (het Rijke Roomse Leven). Even by the 1990s when the whole system was already disintegrating before our very eyes, may some traces would still have been around.

I heard human meat tastes like Pork. Of course, it is a sacrilege to eat it, but it is true that it doesn't taste bad.

I’m kind of opposed to this. I think largely in part because Samoans laugh and crack jokes culturally about people who do.

My grandmother used to get horse meat at the dog butcher. Okay, that sounds a bit strange. He didn't butcher dogs, he had a butchery where he sold horse mince for canine consumption. She'd get a kilo at the time. It smelt horrific when it cooked. The smell would make me gag.

She also got seal meat from him one day. That was even worse than the horse meat.

But the dogs loved it!

If it was prepared for canine consumption, it was most likely the crappiest parts of the horse (eyes, genitals, asshole, brains, giblets, etc).

That is probably the reason it smelled so bad.
