<p>[QUOTE="Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 9546810, member: 23"]When I was five growing up in Manchester NH we were poor and we ate horse steak. It actually tastes pretty good. Yes, there are countries that still eat it. I had read that during the mad cow epidemic, some countries had reverted to horse meat. It's a strange taboo where cows are considered edible but horses aren't. I'm sure it had to do with the fact that horses were necessary forms of transportation and cows weren't.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
