hello everyone,
i am finally in Kentucky with my fiance and i love him very much,he is a nice man
we re both eat in different ways, but we both try to find common food for us
i face new experience trying new food, but i am missing my native food horse meat and mare milk
may your guys advice me where in US order this food stuff,i know it is unusual for people here..
thank you in advance,
Alma

I don't know but being in kentucky you are in a place where people love horses (that is to ride not eat) and i don't think you will find any there.

yes,kentucky is famous for horse riding
i heard french people eat horse meat too,may be there is some french community in US

Ewwwwwwwwwww

You might have better luck in Canada i think they have some slaughter houses there.

It is funny that I read this post. When I was talking to my fiance she mentioned horse meat and I felt like heaving.

I had to explain the culural difference. How in the US we view such animals like people. Similar to dog and cat. Most people who have these animals view them as family members. To us the thought is repugnant because in our minds it it comparable to eating your brother or sister.

She did not quite understand. All I could say was that when you are in America you will learn more of cultural differences and then understand more.

I did consent to trying some horse meat but.. lucky for me... I did not get the chance. hehe

Kumis, mares milk, sounds very interesting. Getting drunk while drinking milk would be a change! hehe

I am from Canada and as far as i know , we do not have horse meat on a menu there, yes there are slaughter houses there , but that is for dog food as far as i know... I ride horses not eat them..

Crissy

Perhaps you could find someone that would sell you a horse and they would slaughter it for you. Most people on farms have no problem slaughtering animals that they sell. The only problem that you'll have is finding one open-minded enough to agree to it. (That, and you might want to check the legality of slaughtering a horse for human consumption. That may not even be legal in Ky.) If you explain that you're from another country and that's what you do there, maybe they'll be able to help. Good luck!

Oh, man! I loooooove fermented mare's milk!!!!! I miss it so much! But horse meat???? Ewwwwwww....

Hello Russian girl, please try horse meat , it is sooo good of taste!! You will like it!

best,
Alma

are you kidding?

Yes i'm kidding . I have better things to worry about then trying to find horse meat to eat. Gross.

I agree

SPCA come after you trying to eat a horse.. why not settle for beef!

Ummm.. once I was watching No rervations with I think his name is Anthony Bourdane(SP?), he went to the eskimo people in Quebec and they slaughtered and ate a baby seal raw...

javaman,

There is probably no horse meat in America.

By the way, is there a special word for "horse meat"? "Cow meat" is beef, "pig meat" is pork

It's funny how touchy Americans are about all of this. We are the people that eat tons of Hot Dogs, Chitterlings, Fried Chicken, Pork Rinds, and even Deep Fried Snickers bars. Not to mention Twinky's, and all kinds of other processed and fatty foods. MSG, anyone? That stuff is so good!

We obviously don't care about the quality of our food. But yet, the idea of eating something that comes from a certain animal grosses us out.

That's part of our mentality. Something doesn't make sense to us, so we don't like it. But yet, all the crazy stuff that we do is OK, and everyone else should just deal with it. Welcome to America!

we reguard horse as a domestic animal- its our friend, we dont eat our friends right?
I feel like i am talking to my dog about not chasing after ducks.

hello guys, there are several cultures in the world who eat horse meat,mostly in nomadic cultures and some europian cultures(french) and these cultures appreciate a lot horse as a animals and pets and personally i adore horses as a saint animal and i eat them too,why not..it is my culture and it is not something strange for americans and other nations who travel a lot overseas and visit horse consuming countries ..by the way my american friends tried horse meat in kazakhstan and they like it !!! we are all different and have different tastes..wish for everyone be happy eating what they like,

best,
Alma

Been in the meat business for 22 years I can tell you the USDA doesn't allow horse meat to be sold for human consumption here in America. There are several well know slaughter houses here in America who sell horse and buffalo meat to other countries. You can research the web, there is a company in New Zeland who would ship you some horse meat through FedEX. I don't know the cost but I have heard it is very expensive. I have also heard that goat meat taste just like horse meat.

I love goat met especially curried, but I would never dream of eating horse meat. I am too scared of them . I wont say I never will because before I ame to the US I was adament about eating cat well to my surprise a few chinese restauransts serve up cat instead of chicken. Horse in the US are domesticated animals and banned for consumption, goats on the other hand are raised as livestock.

I dont think anyone should knock the thought of at least trying something. It is what I tell my son how do you know what vegetables ( brocolli beans cauliflower etc) tase like if you never try it before. I am not trying to offend anyone this is IMO.

i ate hirse meat once in kazakhstan...sanita got it for you to let me try the kazakhs uzbeks etc dishes..that was enough..sanita does not eat it or drink mare's milk..i am lucky in that aspect...being chechen..but there are people they do eat horse meat in america...as one of her friend's from atlanta told her ..she ate soem and it was bought in america...

I was reading the news and I saw this...just thought it was relevant to the topic...

Controversy Over Horse Meat

JME 3584, thank you for information
wow..i found out that so many horsemeat consuming countries in the world:France,Belgium,Italy,Switzerland,Japan

I just noticed that you guys live in a place called Horse Cave. That's ironic!

Yes, eating horse is common in Italy. I know around here there are lots of Italian butchers. Maybe you could ask one of them if you have access?

BTW, what's so gross about it? Many people feel it's gross/wrong to eat veal, or lamb, or even cow or chicken for that matter.

Goat meat is delicous. thats ok you can get chivo any place. I dont know about resturaunts serving cats!!
I am knocking it!!! I will try other flavors but cat and horse is not one of them!

Meat is meat. Just ask anyone from PETA!

I agree. But unlike PETA, I like to eat all of it!

I'm a vegetarian. I don't eat meat anymore...

I'm not PETA, but I am also a vegetarian. For almost 20 years now...

hello guys, i am going to be vegetarian here in Horse Cave,KY...can not find horse meat for me to eat in this place hahahhah
the name of place where i am living sounds nice for people hunting for horses

my guess would be BOLOGNA




I love beef on a Peta pocket

Alma, can't you just find some farmer out there to sell you a horse?

Another thing you could do is wait until deer season, and "accidentally" shoot a deer-looking horse that just happened to walk by your treestand.

Or.... you could be "target practicing" out in the pasture and the horse that was waaaaaaaaaaaay over on the other hill just happened to catch a ricochet.

(Hell, now that PETA is involved, might as well get the NRA in here too!)

SLIM thank you for advice .i learnt archery several years ago so hope to hunt one day in this nice CAVE for HORSES
people here are too conservative about eating this stuff ..
i am happy here just to discover new foods for me..i love american CORN BREAD and TURKEY meat , flavored COFFEE hazel nut cream and vanilla..i never had it before in my past life in kazakhstan
so i can survive here
best luck to all new food lovers,

If you like corn bread, there's another Kentucky favorite that you have to try for breakfast....

GRITS!!!

They're delicious. Put some butter and some sugar on them. Some people even put cheese on top, and some real rebels even use salt. I've got a sweet tooth, so I go with the sugar.

And, now that summer is here.... it's BBQ season. Ribs, chicken, pulled-pork.... the possibilities are endless!

Of course there are name for it

Filly of sole,
Nelly strogonoff
Filly mignon

lots of good dishes.

It is ironic they are living in Kentucky. It may give some real opportunity. I can recal a friend who used to live in Modesto right after they granted the boat people asylum saying that all the cats in the neighborhood disappeared not long after they arrived. Maybe we will never know who a future Derby winner would have been.

Seriously, I think you just need to learn to like beef. I learned to like Borch, you can do it.

hi TURBOGUY my husband does not like borsch(beeten soup) but he loves german food schinitschels and sausages.. I love FRENCH, ITALIAN and THAI foods
do not think that i do not eat beef, i eat it too,but horse meat is healthy meat..horses do not have deseases like cow mad or others..horses are healhiest animals

Alma, you should try venison (deer meat) it has a good flavor to it and is quite healthy as well. Maybe a lot like horse meat. I don't know, I've never tried horse... I would, just no opportunity.

If you're looking for a lean meat with good flavor, deer is the way to go.

Ostrich

SLIM thank you for your advice.. i did not yet tried deer meat but will try
in place of mare milk i drink buttermilk,in place of fresh wheat/rye bread i eat corn bread
i would say many women from exsoviet countries like exotic foods..
i love mexican too!! la comida buena y deliciosa!! QUE MARAVILLA!!
chaio amigos

best,
Alma from kentucky

hee hee hee

Diana lives in Tatarstan and the last time I visited her I took a couple cans of chipotles and a bottle of habanero salsa for her to try.

She loved it!

In light of the IMBRA insanity we have started to talk about my making a possible third trip.

Today she said "Bring me chipotles"

I wish I would have read this post before I went riding the last time a milliion years ago at a Dude ranch in Colorado. That ill tempered nag almost killed me and I could easily have fit nelly in the back of my truck and given you a years supply of horse meat. I haven't wanted to get on a horse since but might smile as I ate a horse steak if I thougt it was Nelly.

WOW! That's WONDERFUL!!!!
I've been a vegetarian for 3.5 years and I am loving it!!! Can't imagine going back to eating meat.
I enjoyed looking at your web-site, teukros. I've got to say that my favorite picture is of you and Gera!

I agree with slim, I'd try horse given the opportunity, and Venison is good, had an chance to try that when I was younger!

I went to Russia expecting to try many new and different foods, I tried many interesting foods and liked all of them except Red caviar.

Borshch (beet soup) and pelmeni (meat dumplings) were amoung my favorites!

OMG little off topic but I miss a soft drink from there also (technically it is Korean)... MILKIS, Hey coca-cola, pepsi...some soft drink company....GET ME MILKIS!

Just an FYI. It is illegal to sell horsemeat in the US for human consumption. The two slaughter houses in Texas can only sell outside the US, mostly France, Italy and Spain I think. But you cannot purchase horsemeat in the US. Sorry, try buffalo, or elk, or caribou, or mooses. I dont know anything about mares milk but I would think you would want to leave that for the little horses. Can you imagine giving baby animals human breat milk. We are trully a strange species.

I suppose you are also against the human consumption of Cow's milk? We don't give cows human breast milk, but we do drink their brest milk. As a matter of fact a lot of food that is essential to our health comes from diary products. Your logic makes me wonder.
