Pretty sure horse isn't illegal anywhere. Tastes good too, so there's no real reason not to eat it.

>>8012112
In the US, it varies by state law. Most states ban it commercially, but in California, not only is it illegal to buy and sell, horse meat is a FELONY just to possess! Regardless of the law, there's no arguing it's taboo, probably ranking somewhere between cats and dolphins.

>Authentic haggis is banned by the USDA here in the states.
Lungs are sponges and can't be cleaned properly. They're full of slaughter juices and a lifetime of particulate matter both. You don't want to eat them. There's zero reason why you need "authentic" imported haggis and couldn't make it yourself. If you like mutton, and you like oatmeal in your sausage, by all means... But, other puddings are more tastily done and more livery when you do them yourself.

At this point, you should fear CJD and be avoiding offal kind of meats that aren't whole and served to you without a speck of brains, connective spinal tissue and other crap. So, any purchased haggis would stay on the ban list for that concern (by me).

>>8012104

>The birds must be taken alive; once captured they are either blinded or kept in a lightless box for a month to gorge on millet, grapes, and figs, a technique apparently taken from the decadent cooks of Imperial Rome who called the birds beccafico, or "fig-pecker". When they've reached four times their normal size, they're drowned in a snifter of Armagnac.

>Cooking l'ortolan is simplicity itself. Simply pop them in a high oven for six to eight minutes and serve. The secret is entirely in the eating. First you cover your head with a traditional embroidered cloth. Then place the entire four-ounce bird into your mouth. Only its head should dangle out from between your lips. Bite off the head and discard. L'ortolan should be served immediately; it is meant to be so hot that you must rest it on your tongue while inhaling rapidly through your mouth. This cools the bird, but its real purpose is to force you to allow its ambrosial fat to cascade freely down your throat.

>When cool, begin to chew. It should take about 15 minutes to work your way through the breast and wings, the delicately crackling bones, and on to the inner organs. Devotees claim they can taste the bird's entire life as they chew in the darkness: the wheat of Morocco, the salt air of the Mediterranean, the lavender of Provence. The pea-sized lungs and heart, saturated with Armagnac from its drowning, are said to burst in a liqueur-scented flower on the diner's tongue.

As a burger, it was funny seeing it go the other way. I was working at Carls Jr. when we put Biscuits and Gravy on the menu. A middle aged Salvadoran woman needed gravy explained to her. In my half-assed spanglish, I told her "sausage y flour con grasa[fat]."

She thought it was the most disgusting thing she'd ever heard of.

Let's think logically. The most obvious starting point is that they were simply roasted. Europeans, throughout there history, have roasted and eaten every bird they can get their hands on, no matter how small. Pic related. Roasted sparrow.

From there, someone trapping and roasting the things probably devised a way to get a little more meat out of them. As the post mentions, the ancient Romans blinded the poor little bastards which drives them to eat and eat without ceasing. Now you've got a fatty little morsel that probably tastes alright roasted without any other accoutrements.

Of course, from here, people probably tried all manner of sauces and marinades and rubs, some better than others. Marinading ones meat in liquor certainly isn't too unorthodox, at for whatever reason, Armagnac became the common favorite.

Now here's the real leap. Someone, at some point, must've thought it just wasn't Armagnac-y enough, and wondered how better to infuse the bird with liquor. But of course! Drown the little shit! His respiratory system will be soaked through with the wonderful stuff.

As to the common method of eating it whole, how else are you going to eat a little bird like that? Certainly you wouldn't want to bother with picking out all of the itty bitty bones. The cloth covering one's head, it is often explained, traps the wonderful aroma of this peculiar dish allowing you to savor it. Though some believe that a meal so decadent to eat and so cruel to make, it's necessary to hide one's face from god.

After finishing a three-week road trip in Namibia we returned to the capital of Windhoek. After weeks of eating wild game meat like springbok, oryx and kudu we were in the mood for some good old-fashioned beef. We headed to Katutura, a former apartheid-era village, known for the Soweto market. There open-air barbecues, or braiis, serve grilled meat in a unique manner. Diners tell the grill master how much they want to spend and he takes his large knife to shove that amount of sizzling meat to one side of the grill. Then they pick the meat up with their hands and dip it in a box filled with salt, pepper and spices. Everyone uses the same box for this. The smell of the cooking meat was driving us wild so we quickly dove into the communal feast. We assumed the meat was beef but it looked and tasted different. Someone pointed us in the direction of the butcher’s booths. There we saw slabs of meat with a gray, furry skin; donkey meat they said. We had just eaten the traditional Namibian barbecue called kapana, which may or may not have been donkey. It’s probably better than we didn’t know that ahead of time but damn, it tasted good.

It's not only Americans, but America is the most developed world where it isn't eaten. It is a holdover from a time when meat was of lower quality and you could not risk eating it raw or even rare. I would still not try it with American pork.

Funny story about that. I married a black woman. They tend to fry the shit out of their food, and the thought of anything even approaching raw turns them off. Eating with my wife and her family at a crab shack, my teenage sister-in-law decided to be a little daring and split an order of oysters on the half shell with me. These were big ones as far as oysters go. She picked one up, looking very unsure. She looked over at me, slurping down oysters with relish. She put a little hot sauce on it (the black solution to eating anything suspect), and after another minute of psyching herself up, knocked it back. Her face was one of surprise and disgust. She gave this exasperated cry, much to the amusement of her family, and shouted out loud "I NEED BLACK PEOPLE FOOD!" She snatched a piece of fried catfish off her sister's plate and began nibbling it, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.

You've no worry there, South Korea has a 15 year old or so television program revolving around animal stories that touches upon animal cruelty quite often.
Three years or so ago they covered a story about what was literally a mobile dog concentration camp that someone had illegally parked under an overpass for a few days.
A pickup truck with cargo area modified with large caged segments, part of it was puppy mill, part of it was for cramming dozens of dogs into, and part of it was for dead dogs that the live dogs would nibble at. Don't know how long it was parked there before the nearby residence took notice, took issue, and began notifying, but what the show's camera crew covered was about a day of people just squirt bottling water into dog maws hoping it'll help, a day of some police snooping around, and finally the owner of nonchalantly coming to retrieve the truck. End result, cops gave him a small fine, and one resident trying to save one of the cannibal dogs by angry cramming a few bills into the owner's face, after which guy and his dog concentration camp drove off into the sunset to presumably illegally park somewhere else.
15 years of stories, ranging from wholly improper zoos to "Who the fuck keeps a rooster in a city", from look at da cute puppy to negligent/abusive owners, from why does this dog look happy but sound angry to there's a goddamn deer in the sewer. 15 years and there hasn't been much in the way of animal rights improvement.

Also, Koreans evidently can't wrangle an animal for shit. Though maybe that's just the industry standard for people trying to capture an animal without randomly dosing it with drugs or injuring it.

Mostly because factory farming practices are so bad that we can't insure safety. I mean, back in the 90's Taco Bell stopped using green onions after the runoff from a factory style pig farm caused a salmonella outbreak in green onions.

and here in the US, very few people go to an actual butcher. We buy meat out of cases in a grocery store. Even if we do go to a butcher, the meat is still factory raised and shipped in frozen. then thawed and butchered. In fact, butchers in the US are not allowed to slaughter an animal at all.

The only way around this is to find a small farm and buy and butcher the meat yourself. I have a buddy that raises American Guinea hogs that are kept in a free range area with fig trees. Best meat you'll ever have. But yeah. it's a pain in the ass to have to go and help with the slaughter/butchering.

>>8012621
That's true. Thankfully the farm to plate movement has been revising many of those laws. The trick my guy uses to get around it, is that I actually buy the pig and am paying hi, to raise it til slaughter. The reason I have to be on-site for the slaughter is also to get around those laws. I am essentially an ultra small scale farmer processing my own animal.

They actually import retired racehorses/show horses, that are full of performance-enhancing drugs, antibiotics, painkillers, etc.

After being in the horse showing industry for a good decade, and knowing so many people in the racing industry, I'd stay as far away from horse meat as possible. I wouldn't want to ingest all of those residual drugs left in the muscle, even if it was well-cooked.

I like horses but I wouldn't mind trying the meat of one just to see how it tastes.

The majority (around 60%) of horse meat in Japan comes from Canada. A great number (while maybe not a majority) of horses sent to slaughter houses in Canada are ex-show horses or ex-racehorses. The only drug that is banned from horse meat in Canada is phenylbutazone and horses who have been previously euthanized are not permitted for slaughter, however there is no other mention of testing for other drugs. Only an absolute idiot would believe that a busy meat-processing plant would individually test every single horse before and after slaughter.

If a show/race horse is deemed "useless" in the industry, they are usually put out for breeding, sale as pets or they end up in feedlot auctions. It's pretty rare that they go anywhere other than to the slaughterhouse though.

one real reason not to eat it is that horses aren't generally farmed for meat which means you are eating former pets that are pumped FULL of drugs.. especially in their later years shortly before they get auctioned off to the glue factories

>>8014946
The problem is that keeping horse illegal creates a black market. And black markets come with crime & all sorts of other shenanigans attached.

Do a little research. In 2005 a US law resulted in the closure of the last legally operated horse slaughterhouses. What happened afterward was sick:

First, you had people who couldn't afford to care for their unwanted pets or working horses, and as a result they simply abandoned their animals to starve to death whereas previously they had the slaughterhouse as an option for unwanted horses.

Second, you had demand for horsemeat that had no legal source. This resulted in criminals breaking into people's stables and barns, and killing their pet/race/working horses to supply this demand. Not only would that be horrible for the horse's owner, but it's also bad for the customer who ends up buying the meat since it was butchered in a dirty stable, not under sanitation regulations with FDA inspection.

>>8012112
>>8012116
Really? I know there was a scandal about horse meat here in Scandinavia but that was becasue it was labeled as something else.

I don't think eating horse is such a big deal here.

I don't think there should be, are horses not farm animals just like cows?

>>8012426
That is terrible, you can't enjoy steak tartare

>>8014983
>I don't think there should be, are horses not farm animals just like cows?

I agree, but in many parts of the world eating horse is taboo. Probably because horses were pets and working animals rather than being raised purely for meat. But yeah, I don't see why it's OK to kill and eat a pig or cow but it's not OK to slaughter a horse or dog. Hipocrisy.

As for the legality in the US, it's kind of a strange situation here. There is no law specifically prohibiting horse slaughter. However, some states have bans on it. There are also various laws regarding the transportation of horsemeat across state lines illegal, and about the FDA inspection process for the meat, that make it so onerous to operate a horse slaughterhouse that they have since all ceased functioning. It's a common legal tactic you see in many areas: if you can't convince someone to make it illegal outright instead you make it so complicated that nobody bothers to do it anymore.

>>8014990

I've had tartare in the US many times, as well as sashimi. Also had shab-shabu (sliced raw beef with a hot soup to dip in on the side) There is no nationwide ban regarding raw meats. Though, it could vary by state or local codes.

Mongolia and China don't have enough of a "disposable" population of horses to supply the demand in Japan.

>>8014980
This definitely was a problem in the US. There were quite a few thefts strictly for "blackmarket" horse meat consumption, but now all of the horses meant for slaughter are transported up to Canada, where American-owned companies run a good percentage of slaughter houses that process horses.

It's expensive to transport so many horses at once, but frankly, they don't care much about the condition the animals are in, so long as they arrive alive and can be dragged off the truck. It's much like cattle and pigs. This allows them to drive up the price a little to cover the transportation expenses, so it can be pretty lucrative when shipping meat internationally.

What makes you think they have an obsession with meat? If anything it's the opposite. It's a far less common part of their diet than seafood or poultry....and that's probably because the eating of meat was literally forbidden from around 650 AD (I can't remember exactly) until the 1800's.

Alberta has 100's of farms that breed horses for meat, some get loaded onto planes live then get flown to Japan for slaughter. The Japanese like quality stuff there's no way they'd pay for shitty ex-racehorse meat when there's free range quality horse meat available.

Ex show and race horses get sent to a rendering plant where they get boiled down and turned into animal feeds, pet food, cosmetic products, etc.

Horse meat was quite common food before the end of ww2. Horses were widely used as method of transportation. So when a horse dies you gotta use the meat.

Nowadays horses are mor of a commodity than something we really eat. So naturally there is hardly any horse meat to buy. You have the one odd scandal where someone tried to sell you something as x but in truth it was horse meat

>>8015648
>Can someone Redpill me in this claim

The Wiki article on "history of Japanese cuisine" covers it pretty well.

The Japanese didn't eat much meat at all until the 1800's, at which point it was seen as a fancy European luxury, and the wealthy Japanese emulated it the same as they did with Western fashion, etc.

Eating meat wasn't mainstream until WWII when a combination of food shortages and even stronger Western influence forced the issue. Since then it's become a much bigger thing, but it still lags behind other protein sources.

I think one argument goes like pic related, toxines supposedly accumulate in animals that are higher up in the food chain.
If you're eating a chill fucker that just grazes weed, you're less suspect to this.

>>8015995
The higher up in the food chain the stronger the concentration of environmental poisons and heavy metals. This is why eagles started to die from heavy metals in the 90-00's even if their prey didn't

>>8015995
>>8016079
checkout some of the stuff on bio-magnification, DDT, and the effect it had on the falcon and eagle population in America

now think about how relevant that concept is for you, as a human being, at the very, very top of the food chain

>>8016138
Plus household chemicals, medicine, pesticided from food, antibiotics from farmed animals, smoking, alcohol, drugs and hell urban smog.

In event of a zombie outbreak we'd likely kill them.

>>8016138
>as a human being, at the very, very top of the food chain
That's... not how it works anon.
Eagles live on omivores and carnivores, which is why they were so deeply affected. Humans can not only choose non-polluted food sources but we can also check our bodies for heavy metals and other toxins.
We are only 'on top of the food chain' because we dominate other species, not because we exclusively live on the species who are runner ups..

As a rule of thumb, carnivorous tend to give you worms and shit like that more than herbivorous.
But I guess it doesn't really count if you don't eat raw game in the wilds.

>>8015995

Like the other people have mentioned, toxins accumulate higher up the food chain. But that's only a minor part of it. Generally speaking, we (Humanity) don't eat carnivores because:
1) they require expensive feed, making them uneconomical to raise. OTOH herbivores can eat literal grass, as well as easily stored foods like grain, silage, etc.

2) They taste bad. Most carnivores use scent marking to define their territory, communicate with others, or both. These glands taint the meat and give it a very strong and unpleasant flavor. OTOH, most herbivores (read: prey) have evolved to minimize their smells.

We are, as we speak, destroying millions of acres of rainforest for soy to fatten up the herbivors we eat.

>Carnivores taste bad
No. This is a myth. Sorry.
>Most carnivores use scent marking to define their territory, communicate with others, or both
Not related to them being carnivores. Species who keep territories need to mark them. Species who socialize and communicate with smells have scent glands.
This includes carnivores, omnivores and herbivores.
>These glands taint the meat and give it a very strong and unpleasant flavor
No. Again, myth. Unless scent glands are ripped open and the contents poured on the meat, the meat will not be affected by them.
>most herbivores (read: prey) have evolved to minimize their smells.
So has carnivores. Guess why.

>>8016855
Did you just try and use the trophic pyramid as justification for anything?

Aside from the rainforests being culled for tofu; let's keep in mind the simple fact that humans can't digest most plant matter. It's far more efficient to eat some of the plants and feed the waste to animals who we will also consume. We're also overpopulated, but that's another issue.

>The babies must be taken alive; once captured they are either blinded or kept in a lightless box for a month to gorge on millet, grapes, and figs, a technique apparently taken from the decadent cooks of Imperial Rome who called the babies beccafico, or "fig-pecker". When they've reached four times their normal size, they're drowned in a cask of Armagnac.

>Cooking l'enfant is simplicity itself. Simply pop them in a high oven for six to eight minutes and serve. The secret is entirely in the eating. First you cover your head with a traditional embroidered cloth. Then place the entire 15 kilogram baby into your mouth. Only its head should dangle out from between your lips. Bite off the head and discard. L'enfant should be served immediately; it is meant to be so hot that you must rest it on your tongue while inhaling rapidly through your mouth. This cools the baby, but its real purpose is to force you to allow its ambrosial fat to cascade freely down your throat.

>When cool, begin to chew. It should take about 15 minutes to work your way through the breast and limbs, the delicately crackling bones, and on to the inner organs. Devotees claim they can taste the baby's entire life as they chew in the darkness: the wheat of Morocco, the salt air of the Mediterranean, the lavender of Provence.
